1 Year 8 Geography Summary Test 70 minutes Name: Homeroom: Mark: /54 There are four sections on the test. Please make sure you answer each question. Landscapes and Landforms Question 1 The image below shows an area in China. a. Name the landscape shown in the image b. Label any 2 landforms on the image. c. Name and describe one process that is involved in forming one of the landforms identified in part b.
2 Question 2 The map below shows a topographic map of Blue Lake on a scale of 1: 40,000. a. Name the landuse found in AR2970. b. What is the difference in elevation between Mt Smith and Mt Brown? c. Name the landform behind the sandy beach at AR2363. d. State the grid references of the following points. T X W Y e. Describe the landscapes that you would see if you were to travel from point A to point B.
3 Question 3 The diagram below shows the landform features in Kakadu National Park. a. List two features of the environment shown in the diagram and explain how they would have supported the lifestyles of early Aboriginals. 5 marks
4 Deserts Question 4 The map below shows the Distribution of the world s Deserts. Distribution of the world s deserts Source: MAPgraphics Pty Ltd, Brisbane a. Describe the distribution of deserts in the world. 3 marks b. Describe two similarities and two differences between hot and cold deserts. 4 marks
5 c. Give an example from the map of a rain shadow desert, a coastal desert and a continental desert. Rain shadow Coastal Continental 3 marks d. Using a diagram explain how one of these deserts occurs. 4 marks Rainforests Question 5 The graphs below represent the climate in three different places in the world. Graph A Graph B Graph C a. Allocate which graph is likely to represent a cold desert, a rainforest, a hot desert. Cold Desert Rainforest Hot Desert 3 marks b. Using Graph A state the temperature range.
6 c. Using Graph A state the maximum rainfall. d. Using Graph A describe why this climate would be good for the growth of vegetation. e. Draw a diagram to explain the structure of a rainforest. 4 marks f. Using information that you collected from the field work at the zoo: Name one program related to animals in the rainforest Describe the aim of the program Discuss how successful you think it has been. 4 marks
7 Mountains Question 6 The diagram below shows the features present at different plate boundaries around the world. a. Using the Diagram above fill in the table below to show the type of boundary and the landform that is created at each type of boundary. 3 marks
8 b. Match each of the different types of mountain with the appropriate description of how it is formed. Fold Plateau Volcanic Dome Fault-block Type of mountain How this type of mountain is formed The crust fractures and huge blocks of crust are forced either up or down. The Earth s crust bends as magma pushes upwards but does not break through the surface. The collision of two continental plates creates buckling of the crust Layers of lava are pushed up forming large, flat areas of high land It is formed by either plates subducting, diverging in rift zones or moving over hotspots. 5 marks END OF TEST
Diagram 1. Diagram What kind of crust is plate A, B and C made of? 2. What type of plate boundary is shown at X?
