POST UTME GREENFIELD UNIVERSITY 2025 Geography | Objective

Practice these randomly selected questions to test your readiness.

Question 1
A diagram shows the structure of the solar system, with the Sun at the center and the planets orbiting around it. The diagram is characterized by a series of concentric circles, which represent the orbits of the planets. What is the most likely reason for the presence of these concentric circles?
A. The planets are orbiting around the Sun due to the force of gravity, which is pulling them towards the center of the solar system.
B. The planets are orbiting around the Sun due to the presence of a nearby star, which is influencing their motion.
C. The planets are orbiting around the Sun due to the presence of a nearby galaxy, which is affecting their orbits.
D. The planets are orbiting around the Sun due to the force of centrifugal force, which is pushing them away from the center of the solar system.
Question 2
The Earth's climate is influenced by several factors, including latitude, altitude, and ocean currents. Which of the following climate belts is characterized by high temperatures and high levels of precipitation throughout the year?
A. Tropical rainforest
B. Desert
C. Temperate grassland
D. Polar tundra

A. Granite
B. Basalt
C. Sandstone
D. Limestone
Question 4
Soil erosion is a significant environmental concern in many parts of the world. What is the primary cause of soil erosion in agricultural areas?
A. Overgrazing and intensive farming practices.
B. Deforestation and land degradation.
C. Climate change and extreme weather events.
D. Soil compaction and poor irrigation practices.

A. Agriculture
B. Mining
C. Manufacturing
D. Petroleum extraction
Question 6
The diagram below represents a cross-section of a river delta. Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of this type of landscape?
A. High sedimentation rate
B. Low relief
C. High erosion rate
D. High population density
Question 7
The concept of economic geography is concerned with the spatial distribution of economic activities. What is the primary factor that influences the location of economic activities?
A. Natural resources
B. Transportation
C. Market demand
D. Government policies
Question 8
The diagram below shows a cross-section of the Earth's crust. Identify the type of rock formation that would be most likely to occur at the boundary between the continental and oceanic crusts.
A. Continental Rift
B. Oceanic Rift
C. Subduction Zone
D. Continental Collision
Question 9
The Niger Delta is a unique example of a deltaic system, characterized by its complex network of distributaries and distributary channels. What is the primary reason for the Niger Delta's complex morphology?
A. The Niger River's high sediment load and discharge rate.
B. The Niger Delta's location in a region of high tectonic activity.
C. The Niger Delta's proximity to the Atlantic Ocean.
D. The Niger Delta's unique geology and soil composition.
Question 10
The savannas of Nigeria are characterized by a unique combination of climate and vegetation. Which of the following is a primary factor contributing to the formation of these savannas?
A. Temperature and Precipitation Patterns
B. Soil Type and Texture
C. Vegetation Density and Diversity
D. Topography and Elevation
Question 11
The Niger Delta is a major economic hub in Nigeria, with significant oil and gas reserves. What is the primary economic activity that drives the region's economy?
A. Agriculture
B. Mining
C. Manufacturing
D. Petroleum extraction
Question 12
The Niger River is the longest river in West Africa. What is the primary reason for its length?
A. Tectonic activity
B. Erosion by rivers
C. Deposition of sediment
D. Human activities
Question 13
The concept of 'diffusion' in geography refers to the process by which substances move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration due to:
A. Gravity
B. Electromagnetic forces
C. Random movement
D. Osmosis
Question 14
The Earth's rotation causes the Coriolis effect, which plays a significant role in shaping global climate patterns. What is the primary consequence of the Coriolis effect on global climate?
A. Global warming
B. Climate change
C. Seasonal variation
D. Weather pattern formation
Question 15
A map of Nigeria shows a region with a high concentration of oil deposits. The region is characterized by a series of faults and folds, which have created a complex geological structure. What is the most likely reason for the presence of these oil deposits?
A. The region has been subjected to intense tectonic activity, which has created a complex geological structure and trapped oil deposits.
B. The region has been influenced by the presence of a nearby ocean, which has deposited sediments and nutrients.
C. The region has been shaped by the activities of microorganisms, which have broken down organic matter and created oil deposits.
D. The region has been formed through the process of glacial deposition, which has created a layered structure.
