Waec Model Questions Vol1 2023 Geography Question 19
Practice objective / multiple choice question 19 from the 2023 Waec Model Questions Vol1 Geography examination.
State A lies at 7° N latitude, 200 m above sea level, has an average annual temperature of 28 °C and receives 1 200 mm of rain per year. State B lies at 10° N, 800 m altitude, average temperature 22 °C and annual rainfall 1 600 mm. Using the simplified rules that (i) temperature decreases by 0.6 °C per 100 m of altitude and (ii) potential evapotranspiration (PET) can be approximated by PET ≈ 0.0023 × (T + 17)² where T is the mean annual temperature after altitude correction (in °C), determine which state has the higher PET and by how many millimetres per year (rounded to the nearest integer). Express your answer as "State X by Y mm".
