Geography MCQs

Settlements range from isolated homes to large cities.
Their form reflects environment, economy, and history.

Winds can move surface water away from a coast or region.
Deeper water rises to replace it, bringing nutrients.

Meanders develop through erosion on the outer bank and deposition on the inner bank.
They are common on floodplains.

Biodiversity includes variation within species, among species, and among ecosystems.
It supports resilience and ecological services.

Distribution describes whether population is clustered, dispersed, or concentrated in certain regions.
Physical and human factors shape the pattern.

Nucleated settlements have a compact built-up core.
They often grow around a road junction, water source, or market.

The Moon creates the strongest tidal influence because it is closer.
The Sun modifies tidal range according to alignment.

River erosion narrows a meander neck until the channel cuts through.
Deposition seals the old loop, forming a curved lake.

Food chains begin with producers and pass through consumers.
They show who eats whom in an ecosystem.

A census collects demographic and socioeconomic information.
Governments use it for planning and representation.

Alignment combines solar and lunar gravitational effects.
This produces unusually high high tides and low low tides.

Floodplains develop through repeated river deposition.
They are often fertile but exposed to flood risk.
