Consider the rapid growth of New York City in the 19th century:

• This is an example of using resources in a way that meets present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

• This represents the growth of rural areas.

• This is an example of the process of population growth and the development of cities, leading to the expansion of urban areas.

• This is an example of the creation of landforms.

Imagine you are a meteorologist studying the long-term average weather conditions in a particular region, including temperature, precipitation, humidity, and wind patterns. What would you call this study?

• Ecosystem

• Geography

• Climate

• Plate Tectonics

You are a pilot flying a plane around the Earth. You need to measure the distance north or south of the Equator. Which imaginary lines would you use?

• Longitude

• Latitude

• Equator

• Prime Meridian

John is planning to move from New York to California. This is an example of:

• The practice of John using resources in a way that meets his present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

• The theory that explains John's movement and interaction of tectonic plates, leading to the formation of various landforms.

• The branch of geography that focuses on John's natural features such as landforms, climate, and ecosystems.

• The movement of John from New York to California, usually involving a change in residence.

The study of the Earth's physical features, climate, and human populations:

• Geography

Consider the phenomenon of the internet and social media platforms:

• The practice of using these platforms in a way that meets present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

• The effect of these platforms on the climate of the whole world

• A community of users (individuals, businesses, and governments) and their digital environment, interacting as a system on these platforms.

• The increasing interconnectedness and integration of economies, cultures, and societies on a global scale due to these platforms.

Imagine you are an environmental scientist studying large ecological regions. These regions are characterized by distinctive climates, vegetation, and animal life, such as forests, grasslands, deserts, and tundra. What would you call these regions?

• Climate

• Biomes

• Globalization

• Ecosystem
