SECTION B Q1. Describe the four basic types of landforms. (2 Marks) Plains, valleys, mountains, plateus Plains,: land fairly above sea level Plateau: an area of fairly flat land that is high above sea level. Mountain: land formation due to collision of crustal plates Valleys:the fairly level surface if the land but the river has formed a valley. Q2. Describe the consequences of a collision between the crustal plates. ( /05 ) Folds in the rocks near the edge of the second plate Cracks in the rocks which may result in the land rising or sinking creating block and rift valley Faults in the rocks where magma erupts and causes volcanoes and lava plateaux. Eathquakes Hot water may also bubble up to the surface creating boiling pools and steam. Q3. Define weathering and three ways in which weathering occurs. ( /6) the process of breaking down rocks into smaller fragments. Chemical WeatheringL When mineral in the rocks react with oxygen and carbon dioxide. The rocks weeken and break apart. Biological weathering:.this is the breakdown of rocks at or near the Earth s surface by licing things. Tree roots grow thicker and longer. They widen and deepen cracks in the rocks causing rocks to split and breaks apart. Physical Weathering: This process breaks down rocks into smaller fragments without any chemical changes to their minerals. These fragments of rock fall down and slowly, over a long time, the gorge becomes wider. Q4. Differentiate between weather and climate. Give examples. ( /2) Weather can changes in seconds, minutes or days. Climate takes a long period of time. For e.g. snowfall, rainfall, sunny weather. Climatic zones are defined in the world. Q5. Discuss the role of Ozone layer. ( /5) _it protects from the solar radiation. Absorbs 95% of the UV rays. It saves us from various skin diseases. If ozone wouldn t have been there, then the rays would increase global warming. Trees would burn and die due to excessive sunlight. Glaciers would melt and sea level would rise, creating floods. Q6. What do you think is required to change a human environment into a natural environment?( /2) Deforestation, construction of roads, buildings, etc.
