What is the term for the movement of water from the ground to the atmosphere through plants?
A. Transpiration
B. Evaporation
C. Condensation
D. Runoff
Question 10
The process of soil formation is influenced by the interaction of several factors, including climate, topography, and vegetation. Which of the following is NOT a primary factor in soil formation?
A. Tectonic activity
B. Weathering
C. Erosion
D. Biological activity
Question 11
The diagram below shows the structure of a cell. Which of the following organelles is responsible for protein synthesis?
A. Nucleus
B. Mitochondria
C. Ribosome
D. Lysosome
Question 12
The process of weathering is responsible for the breakdown of rocks into smaller particles. What is the primary type of weathering that occurs in areas with high temperatures and low rainfall?
A. Mechanical weathering
B. Chemical weathering
C. Physical weathering
D. Biological weathering
Question 13
The diagram below shows a cross-section of a river delta. Which of the following is a characteristic of this type of delta?

The diagram below shows a graph of the relationship between temperature and precipitation. Which of the following is a characteristic of this relationship?
A. It is a direct relationship, where an increase in temperature leads to an increase in precipitation.
B. It is an inverse relationship, where an increase in temperature leads to a decrease in precipitation.
C. It is a non-linear relationship, where an increase in temperature leads to a non-linear increase in precipitation.
D. It is a complex relationship, where an increase in temperature can lead to both positive and negative effects on precipitation.
