Study Notes
Geography CSEE Examination 2023
- The examination paper consists of three sections: A, B, and C.
- Section A has 10 multiple-choice questions worth 16 marks in total.
- Section B has 6 questions worth 54 marks in total.
- Section C has 3 questions worth 30 marks in total.
- Students must answer all questions in sections A and B and two questions from section C.
Section A
-
Question 1:
- Perihelion is the point in a celestial body's orbit where it is closest to the Sun.
- The A horizon is the top layer of soil, characterized by fine particles and humus.
- Water transport is the best option for transporting a car from Japan to Tanzania.
- Mixed farming involves cultivating crops and raising livestock.
- The Richter Scale measures the magnitude of earthquakes.
- Factors affecting coastal erosion and deposition include wind strength, weather conditions, sea depth, and rock type.
- Time in Dar es Salaam will be the same as in Addis Ababa (39°E) because they are on the same longitude.
- Population structure is dynamic due to factors such as fertility, mortality, and migration.
- Alluvial mining involves extracting minerals from unconsolidated sediments near the surface.
- Japanese shipbuilding industries are located along the coast due to the presence of natural harbors.
-
Question 2:
- Drought describes a period of prolonged dryness.
- Pollution refers to the addition of unwanted substances into the environment.
- Land degradation encompasses the deterioration of soil fertility and quality.
- Climate change refers to gradual shifts in rainfall and temperature patterns.
- Loss of biodiversity represents the decline in species populations within an area.
- Desertification is the process of fertile land turning into dry and barren landscapes.
- Deforestation involves the removal of trees from an area.
- Soil erosion is the process of fertile topsoil being carried away by wind or water.
Section B
-
Question 3 refers to the Map Extract of Liwale (Sheet 280/4).
- The dominant rock type is sedimentary, indicated by the presence of plains and valleys, suggesting deposition over time.
- Sedimentary rocks are typically layered, formed from the accumulation of sediments, and may contain fossils.
- Liwale town likely grew because of its central location in the agricultural region and the presence of cotton buying posts, indicating economic activity.
- Measuring the distance between the grid references 814218 and 809165 using the stated 1: 50,000 map scale will allow the student to determine the distance in kilometers.
-
Question 4 focuses on research methodology.
- Selecting representatives for research is referred to as sampling.
- Techniques for selecting representatives include random sampling (choosing participants randomly) and stratified sampling (grouping participants based on characteristics and selecting randomly from each group).
- Advantages of sampling include:
- Cost-effectiveness compared to studying the entire population.
- Time efficiency.
- Easier data analysis.
-
Question 5 is about survey methods.
- Traverse surveying is a suitable method for measuring straight lines between points.
- The first step involves setting up a baseline and the last includes calculating distances between points.
- Survey equipment includes:
- Measuring tape for accurate distance measurement.
- Total station for precise measurement and data recording.
- Level for determining elevation differences.
-
Question 6 analyzes a photograph.
- The photograph most likely shows a coastal landscape based on the presence of features such as cliffs, beaches, and vegetation typical of shoreline environments.
- Depositional features may include beaches and sand dunes.
- Erosional features may include cliffs and wave-cut platforms.
- Man-made features could include roads, buildings, or harbors.
- Formation of the main marine erosion feature likely involves:
- Initial sea level at the base of the cliff,
- Wave erosion continuously carving out the cliff base,
- Retreating cliff as the erosional process continues.
-
Question 7 focuses on glacial features.
-
Students observing a Swiss landscape would likely see features like:
- U-shaped valleys sculpted by glaciers.
- Cirques (bowl-shaped depressions at the head of glaciers).
- Aretes (sharp ridges formed by glaciers eroding opposing sides of a mountain).
- Hanging valleys (valleys carved by smaller glaciers, hanging high above the main glacial valley).
-
A well-labeled diagram showing these features is required for the answer.
-
Question 8
- Plants in deserts adapt through:
- Deep roots to reach groundwater.
- Waxy leaves to reduce water loss.
- Succulent stems to store water.
- Thorns to deter herbivores
- Reduced leaf size to minimize surface area for water evaporation.
- Characteristics of desert vegetation include:
- Drought-resistant.
- Sparse distribution.
- Specialized adaptations.
- Small, tough leaves.
- Plants in deserts adapt through:
Section C
-
Question 9 examines temperature change during a journey.
- Possible causes of increasing temperature include:
- Altitude: Temperature generally decreases with increasing altitude.
- Latitude: Temperature generally increases closer to the equator.
- Distance from the coast: Coastal areas have a moderating effect on temperature due to water's heat capacity.
- Cloud cover: Clouds tend to reflect sunlight and lower temperatures.
- Air currents: Warm air currents can raise temperatures.
- Seasonal changes: Some areas experience greater temperature variation depending on the time of year.
- Possible causes of increasing temperature include:
-
Question 10 addresses environmental degradation.
- Measures to prevent environmental degradation include:
- Sustainable agriculture to minimize soil erosion and pollution.
- Reforestation to restore degraded ecosystems.
- Waste management to reduce pollution and resource depletion.
- Renewable energy to reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
- Pollution control to reduce emissions and improve air and water quality.
- Conservation efforts to protect biodiversity and ecosystems.
- Measures to prevent environmental degradation include:
-
Question 11 focuses on renewable energy sources in Tanzania.
- Renewable energy sources in Tanzania include:
- Solar energy: Abundant sunshine provides a significant resource for solar power.
- Wind energy: Coastal and mountainous regions offer favorable conditions for wind power.
- Geothermal energy: Volcanic activity in some areas provides potential for geothermal energy.
- Hydropower: Numerous rivers and waterfalls provide hydroelectric potential.
- Biomass energy: Abundant agricultural waste and wood can be used for energy production.
- Biogas: Organic waste can be converted into biogas for cooking and other purposes.
- Renewable energy sources in Tanzania include:
