------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: Endowments of nature in geography refer to the natural features and resources found in
different regions of the Earth, including landforms, climate, vegetation, water bodies, minerals, and
energy resources.
a) Mountains:
Description: Mountains are elevated landforms with steep slopes and high peaks. They are
formed by tectonic forces and can have various types such as fold mountains or volcanic mountains.
b) Plateaus:
Description: Plateaus are flat or gently sloping elevated areas of land. They are typically
characterized by extensive flat terrain at high elevation and are formed by volcanic activity, erosion,
or uplift.
c) Plains:
Description: Plains are low-lying, flat or gently rolling areas of land. They are often fertile and
suitable for agriculture. Plains can be formed by deposition of sediments, erosion, or tectonic
processes.
a) Climate
b) Soil type
c) Topography
5. Name three types of water bodies and describe their importance.
a) Rivers:
Importance: Rivers are crucial for freshwater supply, transportation, agriculture, and supporting
diverse ecosystems.
b) Lakes:
Importance: Lakes serve as water reservoirs, provide habitats for aquatic life, and offer
recreational opportunities.
c) Oceans:
Importance: Oceans cover a vast portion of the Earth's surface, regulate climate, support marine
life, and are important for trade and transportation.
6. What are minerals and energy resources? Give two examples of each.
Minerals:
a) Gold
b) Iron ore
Energy Resources:
a) Oil
b) Wind energy
Answer: Biodiversity refers to the variety of plant and animal species present in a particular area. It
is important because biodiversity ensures ecosystem stability, provides resources for human well-
being, supports food production, and contributes to the overall health of the planet.
Answer: A hotspot refers to a region that contains a high level of biodiversity and is under threat
from human activities. It typically has a large number of endemic species, meaning they are found
nowhere else in the world.
Answer: Studying the endowments of nature in geography helps us understand the physical
environment, its resources, and their distribution. It provides insights into how these factors shape
human activities, economies, and societies, and helps in making informed decisions regarding
sustainable development and conservation efforts.
