    GEOGRAGHY GRADE 10 CRITICAL THINKING

    PRACTICE QUESTIONS
    1. How does the etymology of the word "Geography" (derived from
    "Geo" and "graph") reflect the scope and purpose of the field?

    2. What are some of the values and importance of studying Geography?


    How can a strong understanding of Geography benefit both individuals
    and society as a whole?

    3. Consider the practical applications of latitude and longitude, such as


    determining the exact location of a place on a map or calculating
    distances between two locations. How have advancements in
    technology, like GPS, enhanced the accuracy and convenience of using
    latitude and longitude for navigation and mapping?

    4. How does the arrangement of the planets in the Solar System,


    including their distances from the Sun, affect their physical
    characteristics and conditions, such as temperature and the presence of
    life?

    5. How does the Earth's rotation affect the concept of day and night?
    Why does only one part of the Earth's surface face the Sun at a given
    time, leading to this cycle?

    6. How does Earth's revolution around the Sun determine the length of a
    year? What is the significance of a leap year, and how is it calculated?

    7. How does the etymology of the word "Geography" (derived from


    "Geo" and "graph") reflect the scope and purpose of the field?-[In what
    way does the origin of the term "Geography," stemming from the Greek
    words "Geo" and "graph," convey the field's objectives and range of
    study?]

    8. Why is the concept of latitude essential for understanding the Earth's


    geography? How does latitude's relationship to the equator help define
    important climate zones and geographic regions?
    9. Describe the significance of great circles and small circles in
    geography. How do they relate to the Earth's shape and the
    measurement of distances and locations? Provide examples of great
    circles and small circles on the Earth's surface.

    10. Explain how lines of longitude, specifically the Prime Meridian (0°),
    are used to calculate local time across the world. What implications does
    this have for global communication and timekeeping?

    11. According to the text, what are some key aspects of Geography that
    go beyond simply describing the Earth's surface? How does Geography
    explore the relationship between humans and their environment?

    12. Earth's rotation results in the occurrence of day and night. How does
    this rotation affect daily life and activities on our planet, and how might
    life be different if Earth did not rotate?

    13. How do the various proofs of Earth's sphericity, such as


    circumnavigation, sunrise and sunset times, and lunar eclipses,
    contribute to our understanding of the planet's shape? Why are these
    pieces of evidence convincing?

    14. How do these unique characteristics impact our understanding of the


    potential for life beyond Earth, and what factors make Earth a suitable
    habitat for life?

    15. In what ways does Geography intersect with other subjects, as


    mentioned in the text (such as Economics, Agricultural Science,
    Government, and History)? Can you provide examples of how
    Geography is relevant to these fields?
