A. Igneous
B. Sedimentary
C. Metamorphic
D. Volcanic
Question 8
The Earth's rotation causes the Coriolis effect, which results in the deflection of moving objects to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. What is the primary cause of the Coriolis effect?
A. The Earth's rotation
B. The Coriolis force
C. The centrifugal force
D. The gravitational force
Question 9
The Earth's rotation causes the apparent shift of the position of a star in the sky due to the planet's movement. This phenomenon is known as
A. stellar aberration
B. parallax
C. refraction
D. atmospheric dispersion

A. thalweg
B. channel
C. floodplain
D. delta

A. High birth rate
B. Rural-urban migration
C. Natural increase
D. International migration
Question 13

A. Climate
B. Topography
C. Vegetation
D. Gravity
Question 14
The diagram below shows the structure of a plant cell. What is the function of the cell wall?
A. to provide structural support
B. to regulate the movement of materials
C. to synthesize proteins
D. to store genetic information
Question 15
The Earth's rotation causes the Coriolis effect, which in turn influences global wind patterns. However, this effect is more pronounced near the equator. What is the primary reason for this variation in wind patterns?
A. The Earth's rotation speed decreases with latitude.
B. The Coriolis effect is weaker near the equator due to the Earth's slightly ellipsoidal shape.
C. The wind patterns are influenced by the trade winds and westerlies, which are stronger near the equator.
D. The Earth's rotation speed increases with latitude.
