Question 3
The Earth's rotation causes the Coriolis effect, which in turn influences the formation of weather patterns. What is the primary mechanism by which the Coriolis effect affects the atmosphere?
A. The Coriolis effect deflects winds and ocean currents, leading to the formation of high and low-pressure systems.

C. The Coriolis effect affects the formation of clouds and precipitation patterns.
D. The Coriolis effect has no significant impact on the atmosphere.
Question 4
The diagram below represents a cross-section of a river valley. Which of the following landforms is NOT a result of fluvial erosion?
A. Waterfall
B. Delta
C. Canyon
D. Meander
Question 5
The process of soil formation involves the breakdown of rocks into smaller particles. What is the primary mechanism by which rocks are broken down?
A. Weathering, which involves the physical breakdown of rocks through exposure to wind, water, and temperature fluctuations.
B. Erosion, which involves the removal of soil and rock particles through the action of wind, water, and ice.
C. Plate tectonics, which involves the movement of the Earth's crust and the resulting formation of mountains and volcanoes.
D. Biological activity, which involves the breakdown of rocks through the action of living organisms.
Question 6
A population of 1000 individuals is growing at a rate of 10% per annum. If the growth is continuous, what is the population after 5 years?
A. 1638
B. 1738
C. 1838
D. 1938
Question 7
The diagram below shows a cross-section of a mountain range. Which of the following landforms is NOT a result of the mountain-building process?
A. Mountain
B. Valley
C. Plateau
D. Waterfall
Question 8
In the context of climate and vegetation belts, what is the primary factor that determines the distribution of vegetation types in a region?
A. Temperature
B. Precipitation
C. Altitude
D. Soil type
Question 9
The process of soil formation involves the interaction of several factors, including climate, topography, and vegetation. Which of the following is NOT a primary factor in soil formation?
A. Climate
B. Topography
C. Vegetation
D. Gravity
Question 10
A company is planning to invest in a new project. The project requires an initial investment of ₦1,500,000 and is expected to generate a revenue of ₦750,000 per annum for 5 years. If the company requires a return on investment of 18%, what is the minimum number of years the company should invest in the project?
A. 3
B. 4
C. 5
D. 6

D. Human Activity
Question 14
The process of plate tectonics involves the movement of the Earth's crust and the resulting formation of mountains and volcanoes. What is the primary mechanism by which plate tectonics affects the Earth's surface?
A. The movement of plates causes the formation of mountains and volcanoes through the process of orogenesis.
B. The movement of plates causes the formation of oceanic and continental crust through the process of seafloor spreading.
C. The movement of plates causes the formation of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions through the process of seismic activity.
