*NECO GCE PRACTICAL GEOGRAPHY* (3a) (PICK ANY ONE) A plain is a large area of flat or gently sloping land with little difference in height. It usually has a low elevation and may be formed through the deposition of sediments by rivers, wind or glaciers. Plains are suitable for agriculture, settlement, transportation and other human activities because of their relatively level surfaces. OR A plain is an extensive stretch of land that is generally level or slightly undulating. It has very gentle slopes and lacks prominent hills or mountains. Plains may be found at low or high elevations and provide suitable conditions for farming, building houses, constructing roads and establishing industries. (3b) (i) Mode of formation: A dissected plateau is formed when an originally elevated and fairly level land surface is deeply cut or divided by rivers and their tributaries over a long period. The rivers gradually erode the plateau through vertical erosion, creating deep valleys, steep-sided slopes and ridges. Continuous weathering and erosion eventually produce an irregular landscape. (ii) Characteristics: A dissected plateau is characterised by deep and narrow river valleys, steep-sided slopes and irregular surfaces. It contains numerous ridges, hills and isolated highlands separated by valleys. The original flat surface of the plateau is greatly reduced by erosion. Streams and rivers are also common features, as they continue to deepen and widen the valleys. (iii) Examples: Examples of dissected plateaux include the Jos Plateau in Nigeria, the Deccan Plateau in India, the Ethiopian Highlands and parts of the Colorado Plateau in the United States. (3c) (PICK ANY THREE) (i) Plains provide suitable land for large-scale farming because of their flat and fertile nature. (ii) Plains encourage the construction of roads and railways because they have gentle and level surfaces. (iii) Plains provide suitable sites for the establishment of industries and factories. (iv) Plains encourage the development of settlements because buildings can be easily constructed on flat land. (v) Plains provide grazing land for livestock such as cattle, sheep and goats. (vi) Plains encourage commercial activities and transportation because movement of goods and people is easier.

*NECO GCE PRACTICAL GEOGRAPHY* (6a) (6b) (PICK ANY TWO) (i) Hydraulic action: Hydraulic action is the process by which moving water erodes rocks through the force of its movement. Water enters cracks and joints in rocks and compresses trapped air within them. The repeated pressure weakens the rocks until pieces break away. This process is common along river channels, waterfalls and coastal areas. (ii) Abrasion (corrasion): Abrasion occurs when rivers carry sand, gravel, pebbles and other rock fragments that scrape and grind against the riverbed and banks. These materials act like cutting tools, gradually wearing away the underlying rocks. Continuous abrasion deepens river channels and helps form features such as valleys, potholes and gorges. (iii) Attrition: Attrition occurs when rock fragments carried by running water collide with one another. These repeated collisions cause the fragments to break into smaller pieces and become smoother and rounder. As transportation continues, the particles gradually decrease in size, changing from large angular rocks into smaller, rounded pebbles and sand. (iv) Solution (corrosion): Solution occurs when slightly acidic water dissolves soluble minerals present in rocks. Rainwater absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and soil, forming weak carbonic acid. This water gradually dissolves minerals such as limestone, carrying them away in solution. The process is particularly important in the development of limestone landscapes.

*NECO GCE GEOGRAPHY PRACTICAL* *NUMBER FIVE* (5a) Weathering is the process by which rocks are broken down, disintegrated or decomposed into smaller particles in their original position on the earth's surface through the action of physical, chemical and biological processes without being transported away. (5b) (PICK ANY FOUR) (i) Temperature changes: Frequent changes in temperature cause rocks to expand when heated and contract when cooled. Continuous expansion and contraction weaken the rocks and eventually cause them to crack and break into smaller pieces. (ii) Freeze and thaw action: In cold regions, water enters cracks and joints in rocks and freezes during low temperatures. When water freezes, it expands and puts pressure on the rocks, causing them to break apart. (iii) Pressure release: When the overlying rocks are removed through erosion, the pressure on the underlying rocks is reduced. This allows the rocks to expand and develop cracks, leading to mechanical weathering. (iv) Exfoliation: This occurs when the outer layers of rocks expand and peel off due to repeated heating and cooling. The layers gradually separate from the main rock, making it break into smaller pieces. (v) Plant growth: Plant roots enter small cracks and joints in rocks as they grow. As the roots increase in size, they exert pressure on the rocks, causing them to widen and eventually break apart. (vi) Animal activities: Burrowing animals such as rabbits, rats and termites dig into the ground and disturb rocks and soil. Their activities expose rocks to air, water and temperature changes, thereby encouraging mechanical weathering. (vii) Salt crystallisation: Water containing dissolved salts enters cracks in rocks. When the water evaporates, salt crystals are left behind and continue to grow, exerting pressure on the rocks until they break apart. (viii) Human activities: Activities such as mining, quarrying, road construction and blasting break rocks into smaller pieces. These activities expose fresh rock surfaces to further weathering.

*NECO GCE GEOGRAPHY PRACTICAL* *NUMBER SEVEN* (7a) Environmental resources are the natural materials and substances found in the environment which are useful to humans, animals and plants for their survival and economic activities. Examples include water, land, forests, minerals and sunlight. (7b) =Renewable resources= (PICK ANY TWO) (i) Sunlight. (ii) Wind. (iii) Water. (iv) Forests. (v) Wildlife. (vi) Biomass. =Non-renewable resources= (PICK ANY TWO) (i) Coal. (ii) Petroleum (crude oil). (iii) Natural gas. (iv) Gold. (v) Iron ore. (vi) Tin. (7c) (PICK ANY TWO) (i) Depletion of resources: Excessive extraction of non-renewable resources leads to their gradual exhaustion because they cannot be replaced within a short period. For example, continuous extraction of crude oil reduces petroleum reserves. (ii) Environmental pollution: Mining and drilling activities release harmful substances into the environment, causing air, water and soil pollution. For example, oil spills in the Niger Delta pollute rivers and farmlands. (iii) Destruction of natural habitats: Excessive mining and mineral extraction destroy forests and natural habitats where animals and plants live. For example, tin mining in Jos Plateau has damaged parts of the natural landscape. (iv) Land degradation: Overexploitation of minerals exposes the soil and creates deep pits, making the land unsuitable for farming and other activities. For example, abandoned mining pits in Plateau State. (v) Climate change: Excessive extraction and burning of fossil fuels such as coal, petroleum and natural gas release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, contributing to global warming and climate change. (vi) Loss of biodiversity: Mining, drilling and other extraction activities destroy the habitats of plants and animals, causing some species to migrate, become endangered or extinct. For example, oil exploration in the Niger Delta threatens aquatic organisms. (7d) (PICK ANY THREE) (i) Source of food: Vegetal resources provide food such as fruits, vegetables, grains and roots for human consumption. (ii) Source of raw materials: Plants provide raw materials for industries, such as cotton for textile production and timber for furniture making. (iii) Source of medicine: Many plants are used in the preparation of traditional and modern medicines for treating various diseases. (iv) Provision of employment: Forestry, agriculture, lumbering and other plant-related activities provide employment opportunities for many people. (v) Source of fuel: Vegetal resources provide firewood and charcoal, which are used for cooking and other domestic purposes. (vi) Prevention of soil erosion: Plant roots hold soil particles together and reduce the washing and blowing away of fertile topsoil. (vii) Provision of shelter: Trees provide timber and other materials used for constructing houses, roofs, doors and furniture.

*NECO GCE GEOGRAPHY PRACTICAL* *NUMBER FOUR* (4a) Climate change refers to the long-term alteration in the average weather conditions of a place or the earth as a whole. It involves changes in temperature, rainfall, wind patterns and other climatic conditions over a long period. It is caused by both natural factors and human activities such as deforestation, burning of fossil fuels and industrial pollution. (4b) (PICK ANY FOUR) (i) Increase in temperature: Climate change leads to a continuous rise in the average temperature of the earth. This results in excessive heat waves, discomfort, dehydration and heat-related illnesses among humans and animals. (ii) Flooding: Climate change can cause heavy and prolonged rainfall, which leads to flooding in many areas. Flooding destroys houses, roads, bridges, farmlands and other valuable properties. It can also force people to leave their homes. (iii) Drought: Climate change causes irregular rainfall and prolonged periods of little or no rainfall. This leads to water shortages, drying up of rivers and lakes, crop failure and shortage of water for domestic and industrial purposes. (iv) Desertification: High temperatures and prolonged drought can cause fertile agricultural land to gradually become dry and unproductive. This reduces soil fertility, destroys vegetation and makes farming difficult, especially in northern Nigeria. (v) Food shortage: Climate change negatively affects agricultural activities through excessive rainfall, drought, flooding and extreme heat. These conditions destroy crops, reduce farm yields and lead to food scarcity, increased food prices and hunger. (vi) Rise in sea level: Global warming causes glaciers and ice sheets to melt, resulting in a rise in sea level. This can lead to coastal flooding, erosion and the destruction of houses, roads and other properties in coastal communities. (vii) Loss of biodiversity: Climate change destroys the natural habitats of many plants and animals. Some species may migrate to other areas, while others may become endangered or extinct because they cannot adapt to the changing environmental conditions. (viii) Spread of diseases: Changes in temperature and rainfall create favourable conditions for disease-carrying organisms such as mosquitoes. This increases the spread of diseases such as malaria, cholera and other water-borne diseases, thereby threatening human health.
