Chapter 1: Endowments of Nature - Worksheet Answers

1. Define "endowments of nature" in geography.

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.

2. Name three types of landforms and provide a brief description of each.

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.

3. How does climate influence the characteristics of a region?

Answer: Climate influences the characteristics of a region by determining the temperature,


precipitation, and overall weather patterns. It affects the types of vegetation, availability of water
resources, and the adaptability of human activities in a particular area.

4. List three factors that determine the distribution of vegetation.

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

7. Explain the concept of biodiversity and why it is important.

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.

8. True or False: Endowments of nature have no impact on human activities.


Answer: False. Endowments of nature have a significant impact on human activities as they provide
resources, shape the physical environment, influence economic activities, and affect the overall
quality of life.

9. Briefly explain the term "hotspot" in relation to biodiversity.

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.

10. Why is studying the endowments of nature important in geography?

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.
