Question 4
A study on the impact of climate change on population growth in Africa reveals a positive correlation between the two variables. However, the study also shows that the correlation is not statistically significant. What can be inferred from this result?

A. Agricultural zone
B. Industrial zone
C. Tourist zone
D. Residential zone
Question 8

A. 20%
B. 30%
C. 40%
D. 50%
Question 9
A landscape is characterized by a series of parallel ridges and valleys. What is the primary process responsible for the formation of this landscape?
A. Tectonic uplift
B. Volcanic activity
C. Glacial erosion
D. Fluvial erosion
Question 10
In a population pyramid, the base represents the proportion of the population in the age group 0-14, while the top represents the proportion of the population in the age group 65 and above. What is the implication of a narrow base and a wide top in a population pyramid?
A. A high fertility rate and a low life expectancy
B. A low fertility rate and a high life expectancy
C. A high mortality rate and a low life expectancy
D. A low mortality rate and a high life expectancy
Question 11
What is the primary source of energy for the Earth's climate system?
A. Solar energy
B. Geothermal energy
C. Wind energy
D. Hydro energy
Question 12
A country is heavily reliant on the export of a single commodity. What is the primary economic risk associated with this situation?
A. Price volatility
B. Supply chain disruption
C. Market saturation

A. Igneous
B. Sedimentary
C. Metamorphic
D. Granite
Question 14
Using the concept of entropy, describe the relationship between the rate of sediment transport and the energy of the river flow, and explain how this affects the formation of meanders in a river.
A. The rate of sediment transport increases with the energy of the river flow, leading to the formation of meanders.
B. The rate of sediment transport decreases with the energy of the river flow, leading to the formation of meanders.
C. The rate of sediment transport is independent of the energy of the river flow, leading to the formation of meanders.
D. The rate of sediment transport decreases with the energy of the river flow, leading to the erosion of meanders.
Question 15

A. Plate Tectonics
B. Weathering
C. Erosion
D. Deposition
