  • 1. Only ONE of these statements is true.
  • High rainfall results in waterlogging of soil.
  • High rainfall results in crumbly soil which is
    easily eroded by wind.
  • Low rainfall results in crumbly soil which is
    easily eroded by wind.
  • Low rainfall results in waterlogging of soil
    which is easily eroded by wind.

  • 2.Living organisms are useful for a fertile soil
    as they help to-
  • Stabilise the soil.
  • Mix the soil.
  • Drain the soil.
  • Add water to the soil.

  • 3.Humus is-
  • Dark mass of rotting organic matter in soils.
  • Layer of hard material just below the surface .
  • Chemicals and nutrients in the lower half of the
    soil.
  • Permanently frozen part of some soils.

  • 4. The most important input for soil is-
  • Inorganic matter.
  • Soil erosion.
  • Organic matter.
  • The wind.

  • 5.The relief of the land affects soil because-
  • Soils are better drained on steep slopes and soil
    slip is likely on flat land.
  • Soils are better drained on steep slopes and soil
    slip is likely on steep land.
  • Soils are better drained on flat land and soil
    slip is likely on gentle slopes.
  • Soils are better drained on flat land and soil
    slip is likely on steep slopes.

  • 6.A soil horizon is-
  • A type of soil.
  • A layer of the soil.
  • An input of soil.
  • An output of soil.

8

  • 7. Soil profiles usually show three horizons-
  • A is the topsoil / B is subsoil / C is bedrock.
  • C is the topsoil / B is subsoil / A is bedrock.
  • B is the topsoil / C is subsoil / A is bedrock.
  • C is the topsoil / A is subsoil / B is bedrock.

  • 10.The statements applicable to a brown forest
    are-
  • W and Z
  • X and W
  • Y and Z
  • Z and X

  • 11. Only ONE of the statements is true-
  • Gleys are found in hotter areas and brown earths
    in wetter areas.
  • Podzols are found in southern latitudes and brown
    earths in northern latitudes.
  • Gleys are found in wetter areas and podzols in
    hotter areas.
  • Podzols are found in northern latitudes and brown
    earths in temperate latitudes.

Higher geography Biosphere quick quiz
  • 12.Soils related to specific climate/vegetation
    zones are called-
  • Dominant soils.
  • Zonal soils.
  • Azonal soils.
  • Humus soils.

  • 13. Climax vegetation is-
  • The starting point of a plant succession.
  • The steady change of plants in an ecosystem
  • The end point of a plant succession.
  • A community of living plants and animals.

15
Higher geography Biosphere quick quiz
  • 14.A plant succession is-
  • Plants which control the environmental conditions
    of other plants.
  • The steady change of plants in an ecosystem
  • A community of living plants and animals.
  • A plants growing cycle.

16
Higher geography Biosphere quick quiz
  • 15. The most difficult growing conditions in sand
    dunes are found -
  • Z
  • X
  • Y
  • W

17
Higher geography Biosphere quick quiz
  • 16.Marram grass survives in dunes because-(best
    reason)
  • Long roots are good at finding water.
  • Large leaves dont lose much water.
  • Short roots are good at finding water Z.
  • Large leaves provide stability in windy
    conditions.

  • 17. A slack is-
  • A damp hollow.
  • A damp hill.
  • A dry hollow.
  • A dry hill.

19
