Singapore GCE A-Level H2 Geography Practice Questions - Singapore GCE A-Level H2 Geography (SEAB Syllabus 9173) Exam - Singapore GCE A-Level H2 Geography Practice Questions - Singapore GCE A-Level H2 Geography (SEAB Syllabus 9173) Exam

Question 1

Which global atmospheric circulation process primarily drives the seasonal migration of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ)?

Seasonal shift in maximum solar insolation between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn Periodic weakening of the trade winds during El Niño Southern Oscillation events Variations in ocean surface salinity across equatorial basins The deflection of jet streams caused by mid-latitude polar fronts

Correct Answer:

Seasonal shift in maximum solar insolation between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn

Question 2

In the idealised single-cell model of tropical atmospheric circulation, what causes the descent of dry air at approximately 30° North and South latitudes in the Hadley Cell?

Radiative cooling of rising air and poleward momentum conservation causing air mass convergence aloft Surface friction creating local low-pressure cells at subtropical ridges Evaporative cooling from warm subtropical ocean waters Intense surface heating forcing upper-level divergence toward the equator

Correct Answer:

Radiative cooling of rising air and poleward momentum conservation causing air mass convergence aloft

Question 3

Why does chemical weathering dominate over physical weathering in humid tropical climates such as Singapore?

High year-round temperatures and abundant rainfall accelerate chemical reaction rates and mineral decomposition Frequent freeze-thaw cycles on mountain slopes fracture parent rock rapidly High solar radiation causes extreme daily thermal expansion and contraction of granite rock Low soil organic acid concentrations prevent biological weathering mechanisms

Correct Answer:

High year-round temperatures and abundant rainfall accelerate chemical reaction rates and mineral decomposition

Question 4

During the Northern Hemisphere winter (December to February), what atmospheric mechanism causes the Northeast Monsoon over Southeast Asia?

High pressure over cold continental Asia drives dry wind southward, which turns northeast to southwest across the equator due to Coriolis deflection Low pressure over Australia draws dry air from the Indian Ocean across mainland Southeast Asia Strong oceanic upwelling off Peru creates east-to-west trade winds across the South China Sea The movement of the ITCZ to 15° North latitude draws moisture from the Pacific Ocean

Correct Answer:

High pressure over cold continental Asia drives dry wind southward, which turns northeast to southwest across the equator due to Coriolis deflection

Question 5

What is 'saprolite' in the context of tropical regolith profiles?

In-situ chemically weathered bedrock that retains the structural fabric and joints of the original rock A layer of iron-rich hardpan formed by intense surface evaporation and desiccation Unconsolidated river sediment deposited in floodplain levees Fresh unweathered parent bedrock found at the base of the weathering front

Correct Answer:

In-situ chemically weathered bedrock that retains the structural fabric and joints of the original rock
