B. Low population density in the south
C. Urbanization in the major cities
D. Rural-urban migration
Question 7
The Earth's rotation causes a phenomenon known as the Coriolis effect, which influences global weather patterns. However, this effect is more pronounced in the Northern Hemisphere due to the Earth's slightly ellipsoidal shape. What is the primary reason for this asymmetry?
A. The Earth's slightly ellipsoidal shape causes the Coriolis effect to be more pronounced in the Northern Hemisphere.
B. The Coriolis effect is more pronounced in the Northern Hemisphere due to the Earth's slightly ellipsoidal shape and the resulting difference in atmospheric pressure.
C. The Coriolis effect is more pronounced in the Northern Hemisphere due to the Earth's slightly ellipsoidal shape and the resulting difference in wind patterns.
D. The Coriolis effect is more pronounced in the Northern Hemisphere due to the Earth's slightly ellipsoidal shape and the resulting difference in ocean currents.
Question 8
What is the primary factor that determines the distribution of vegetation in Nigeria?
A. Climate
B. Topography
C. Soil type
D. Water availability
