Weather and Climate, GI

Which of the factor does NOT influence temperatures?

• Cloud Cover

• Latitude

• Altitude

• Distance from the vegetation

Which of the following statement about altitude is correct?

• The higher the altitude, the cooler the temperature.

• Places at higher altitudes have smaller surface areas, thus absorbs lesser heat from the sun, resulting in lower temperatures.

• Places at lower altitudes have higher density of air molecules thus more solar energy is absorbed causing high temperatures.,

• All of the above.

Which instrument cannot be used to measure temperature?

• Digital weather tracker

• Six's thermometer

• Sling psychrometer

• Anemometer

Which precaution is NOT relevant to collecting temperature data?

• Holding the thermometer at least one arm length away from the body.

• Ensuring instrument is sunken into the ground.

• Not holding the thermometer under direct sunlight.

• Ensuring free circulation of air.

Which of the following statement is NOT applicable to this graph?

• The independent variable is influenced by the dependent variable.

• The graph shows that there is a positive relationship between the variables.

• The outlier means the anomaly.

• The line in the centre is called the best fit line.

For every descriptive statement of a line graph, check for the:

• Adjectives

• Figures and Units

• Time

• All of the above

Which of the following does NOT belong to the same Geographical Investigation stage?

• Collecting temperatures 3 times at each time and use the average.

• Ensuring the anemometer is not blocked by tall buildings.

• Using a comparative line graph to present temperatures at different locations.

• Planting the rain gauge in the ground at a place where there is less human traffic.

Which instrument is used to measure air pressure?

• wind vane

• stevenson screen

• barometer

• hygrometer

Which of the following hypothesis is wrong?

• Places with concrete surfaces have higher temperatures compared to grassy surfaces.

• Places with rich vegetation have the warmest temperatures.

• The higher the altitude, the higher the temperature.

• The higher the temperature, the higher the altitude.

Based on the hypothesis "The closer we are to the sea, the cooler is the temperature." Which of the following is NOT a relevant guiding question to this investigation?

• What is the distance of the location from the sea?

• How do we collect temperature data?

• How many buildings are there inland?

• Why does the temperature vary at different places from the sea?
