Question 5
The Earth's rotation causes the Coriolis effect, which in turn influences the formation of high and low-pressure systems. However, the Coriolis effect is most pronounced in the Northern Hemisphere due to the Earth's slightly ellipsoidal shape. Which of the following best describes the relationship between the Coriolis effect and the Earth's shape?
A. The Coriolis effect is stronger in the Southern Hemisphere due to the Earth's ellipsoidal shape.
B. The Coriolis effect is weaker in the Northern Hemisphere due to the Earth's slightly ellipsoidal shape.
C. The Coriolis effect is independent of the Earth's shape.
D. The Coriolis effect is stronger in the Northern Hemisphere due to the Earth's slightly ellipsoidal shape.
Question 6
A map shows a region with a high level of precipitation. What is the likely effect of this precipitation on the surrounding landscape?
A. The landscape will be eroded more quickly.
B. The landscape will be deposited with sediment.
C. The landscape will be changed by the formation of new landforms.
D. The landscape will remain unchanged.
Question 7
The process of plate tectonics involves the movement of the Earth's lithosphere. Which of the following is NOT a type of plate boundary?
A. Divergent boundary
B. Convergent boundary
C. Transform boundary
D. Stagnant boundary
Question 8
A graph shows a correlation between temperature and vegetation growth. What is the likely explanation for this relationship?
A. Increased CO2 levels
B. Higher precipitation rates
C. Warmer temperatures
D. Increased sunlight
Question 9
A rock sample is analyzed and found to have a density of 2.5 g/cm³. What is the likely composition of the rock?
A. The rock is likely to be a type of granite.
B. The rock is likely to be a type of basalt.
C. The rock is likely to be a type of sandstone.
D. The rock is likely to be a type of shale.

B. Weathering of rocks
C. Biological activity
D. Erosion of the A horizon
Question 12
The Earth's rotation causes the Coriolis effect, which in turn influences global wind patterns. What is the primary reason for the formation of high-pressure systems near the equator?
A. Temperature differences between the equator and poles
B. Wind patterns caused by the Coriolis effect
C. Ocean currents driven by trade winds
D. Mountain ranges blocking air flow
