- Ecology(2mks)
- Give FIVE reasons why it is important to study Geography(5mks)
- Geography is a career subject.
- To acquire positive attitudes and values to become a useful member of society.
- To acquire knowledge of the available resource.
- To learn and explain the origin of the solar system and the earth.

- To be able to manage and conserve the environment properly.
- To be able to manage time properly.
- Define the following terms;-
-
- What is the relationship between geography and,
- Biology(2mks)
- Biology focuses on living organism’s structure and form.
- Geography uses biological information to explain the distribution of living organisms on the earth’s surface trough biogeography.
- Civil engineering (2mks)
- Civil engineering deals with the building and maintenance of structures such as roads , railways ,dams etc
- Geographical knowledge on landforms, rocks soils is vital before these projects /structures are designed and developed.
- Biology(2mks)
- Apart from biology and civil engineering, name three disciplines related to Geography (3mks)
- History
- Demography
- Agriculture
- Economics
- Physics
- Chemistry
- Geology
- Medicine
- Mathematics
- Geology
- What is the relationship between geography and,
-
- Give the meaning of the following terms as used in relation to Geography
- Geo (2mks)
- Means the earth.
- Geographia (2mks)
- Means to draw describe or write about the earth.
- Geo (2mks)
- Identify the branches of geography in which the following are studied(3mks)
- Mining - Human and economic Geo
- Weather and climate - Physical Geo
- Agriculture - Human and Economic Geo
- Give the meaning of the following terms as used in relation to Geography
-
- Give the components of the solar system (3mks)
- The Sun
- The 8 Planets
- Other heavenly bodies- e.g Asteroids, comets, meteoroids, e.t.c
- State the four characteristics of the sun (4mks)
- It is a star.
- Made of very hot gases.
- Rotates on its axis.
- Has a strong gravitational pull which hold all the planets in orbit around it.
- Radiates solar energy.
- Give the components of the solar system (3mks)
-
- Name the first three planets in the solar system (3mks)
- Mercury
- Venus
- The earth
- State the five characteristics of planets (5mks)
- Spherical in shape.
- Revolve round the sun.
- Rotate on their axes.
- Classified into rocky and gaseous
- Kept on their orbits by the suns gravitational pull.
- Have their own force of gravity.
- Only one is known to support life.
- Name the first three planets in the solar system (3mks)
-
- Describe the origin of the earth according to the passing star theory (4mks)
- Advanced by jeans and jeffreys.
- States that the sun existed earlier than the planets.
- A bigger star with greater gravitational pull than that of the sun, passed in its vicinity.
- It attracted large quantities of materials from the sun.
- The materials split as they cooled and condensed to form the planets.
- They were then set in the orbit round the sun.
- During cooling, heavy materials collected at the centre and formed the core to form the mantle.
- The lightest materials formed the earths crust.
- Give three reasons why the interior of the earth is very hot(3mks)
- The original heat is still retained
- Radioactivity
- The weight of the overlying crustal burden(rocks)
- Describe the origin of the earth according to the passing star theory (4mks)
