A. Agriculture
B. Mining
C. Petroleum extraction
D. Manufacturing
Question 9
The Jos Plateau is a region of Nigeria known for its rich mineral resources, including tin, columbite, and wolframite. What is the primary geological process responsible for the formation of these mineral deposits?
A. Metamorphism of existing rocks
B. Magmatic activity and igneous intrusion
C. Weathering and erosion of existing rocks

Question 10
The diagram below shows a cross-section of a river valley. Which of the following is a characteristic of the river's meandering path?
A. A straight course
B. A meandering course
C. A braided course
D. A deltaic course
Question 11
The diagram below shows a simple harmonic motion. Which of the following is a characteristic of the motion?
A. The motion is periodic
B. The motion is oscillatory
C. The motion is rotational
D. The motion is translational
Question 12
The Earth's rotation causes the Coriolis effect, which in turn influences the formation of weather patterns. However, the Coriolis effect is most pronounced in regions with high latitudes. What is the primary reason for this phenomenon?
A. The Earth's rotation is slower at high latitudes.
B. The Coriolis effect is amplified by the Earth's slightly ellipsoidal shape.
C. The rotation of the Earth causes the Coriolis effect, which is most pronounced in regions with high latitudes.
D. The Coriolis effect is influenced by the Earth's slightly ellipsoidal shape and the rotation of the Earth.
Question 13
The Niger Delta region of Nigeria is characterized by a complex network of rivers, creeks, and wetlands. Which of the following is a primary factor contributing to the region's high level of biodiversity?
A. The presence of mangrove forests
