Nabteb 2017 Geography Practical Answers – May/June Expo


1a)
The scale is 1:50,000
1b)
Map distance=22cm
Ground distance=X
Map scale : 1:50,000
Ground distance =22 x 50,000/100,000
=11km
1c)
The bearing of ungwan pa hausawa from kabso hill is 110°
1d)
Old scale =1:50,000
New scale=x
1/50,000 x2 = 2/50,000
=1:25,000
New scale= =1:25,000
1e)
Length in map =48cm
Length of River Karami = 48 x 50,000/ 100,000 = 24km
1f)
The direction of river karami is south east
1g)
2960 KABSO HILL

Revolution of the earth is defined as the movement of the earth round the sun on its orbit
2b)
-It determines a year
-It Causes seasons
-Varying the length of day and night at different times of the year.
Explanation
-It determines a year: The time taken by the earth to move round the sun
-It causes season: In tropical areas like west africa, including Nigeria,there are two seasons rainy season and dry season.
But in temperate Countries, the revolution of the earth causes four seasons.
-Varying the length of the day and night at different times of the year: The length of day and night varies depending on the position of the earth in relation to the sun
2c)
-It divides the globe into two halves or hemispheres
-They are equal in length
-The minor are of a great circle between two point is the shortest surface
– Is the largest possible circle that can be drawn around a sphere
-They are the straight lines of sphere
-They are the circumference of the circle
==============
3a)
Climate change:this is the rise average surface Temperature on earth, mostly due to the turning of fossil fuels.It is also called global warming
3b)
Causes of climate change are;
-Burning of fossil fuels
-Defforestation
-Increase in earth temperature
– industrial revolution
-Covertion of land forescend agriculture
3C)
-it affect agriculture product
-changes in the living of seasonal events
-it leads to rising in sea level
-it leads to human death and other consequences
==============
4a)
Climate: This is defined as the average weather conditions of a place over a long period of time.
4bi)
Latitude it refers to the location of a place on the earth’s surface in relation to the equator. Tropical latitude where the sun’s altitude is always high have hotter temperature than lower latitude this change in temperature affect climate
4bii)
Altitude:this refers to the height of the place above the sun level.As one moves higher into the atmosphere, the temperature decreases by 6.5°c for every 1000m of ascent
4biii)
Slope and aspect: Steep slope experience more rapid change in temperature than a gentle slope
4c)
-It aid soil formation by weathering
-it determines the type of crop to be cultivated in an area
-it Causes environmental hazard
-it determines the type of nature of vegetation in an area
-it helps in agricultural purposes
==============
5a)
Remote sensing:this is the science and art of identify,without coming into direct contract with it.
5b)
-Radiometers
-Photometers
-visible and infrared sensors.
5c)
– extracting mineral Deposits.
-fishing Activities.
-Identifying crop conditions.
-Importing air traffic control.
– lift irrigation system..
5c)
Explanation
-Extracting mineral deposit:earth holds more than 4000 natural elements,each with their unique chemical composition and spectral reflexive.remote sensing technology help to build potential map of these minerals.
-Fishing activities: fishermen save a lot of time and fuel by using satellites to monitor spa surface. In this process,remote. Spnsing technology is used to observe surface color and temperature to denue are full of fishes.
-identify crop conditions: satellite imagery and normalized difference vegetation index technologies art used in order. To maintain. Global supplies.
-Improving Air traffic control: this control the fow of air traffic.
-Lift irrigation system: a wide range of data is required. To design lift irrigation system for improving loater Supplies for agriculture and other industries.
