An isotherm is a line drawn on a map joining places of equal
pressure
cloud cover
temperature
rainfall
Correct answer is C
An isotherm is a line on a map or chart of the earth's surface connecting points having the same temperature at a given time or the same mean temperature for a given period. Therefore, it joins places of equal temperature.
The sun is vertically overhead at the tropic of Capricorn on
June 21st
September 23rd
March 21st
December 22nd
Correct answer is D
On December 22nd, the sun is overhead at the Tropic of capricon, resulting in December winter solstice
26 oC
66 oC
14 oC
12 oC
Correct answer is C
Initial temperature = 40oC
Final temperature = ?
According to lapse rate
1000m ascent = 6.5oC decrease in temp.
4000m =x
4000 = 6.5 x 4=26.0oC
Final temp. = (40o -26o)C=14oC
280 persons per km2
200 persons per km2
350 persons per km2
500 persons per km2
Correct answer is A
The population density of a country is calculated by dividing the total population by the total land area. Therefore, for a country with a total population of 140,000,000 and a total land area of 500,000 km2, the population density would be 140,000,000 / 500,000 = 280 persons per km2.
Which of the following landforms is associated with parallel faulting?
Inselberg
Dyke
Gorge
Rift valley
Correct answer is D
A rift valley is a linear shaped lowland between several highlands or mountain ranges created by the action of a geologic rift or fault. This process of valley formation is known as parallel faulting. A rift valley is formed on a divergent plate boundary, a crustal extension, a spreading apart of the surface, which is subsequently further deepened by the forces of erosion. When the tensional forces are strong enough to cause a plate to split apart, it does so along a rift zone.
