World & Physical Geography MCQs

Notes:
The Pacific Ocean forms the coastline to the south of Honduras. Honduras is a country in Central America. The republic of Honduras is bordered to the west by Guatemala, to the southwest by El Salvador, to the southeast by Nicaragua, to the south by the Pacific Ocean at the Gulf of Fonseca, and to the north by the Gulf of Honduras, a large inlet of the Caribbean Sea.

Notes:
The Valley of Sula is the largest alluvial valley of Honduras. It is located in the northwest of the country, and within it lie several of Honduras’s most important cities. This area has two of the most important basins of Honduras: the basins of the Ulua and Chamelecon rivers, leaving the area vulnerable to flooding, mainly in the rainy season. The valley’s ecosystem is mainly composed of tropical dry forests.

Notes:
Iceland houses the “Thingvallavatn Lake”. It is a rift valley lake in southwestern Iceland. It is the second-largest natural lake in Iceland. At the northern shore of the lake the Althingi, the national parliament, was founded in the year 930 A.D. and held its sessions there until 1799 is carried by the parliament of Iceland. The lake lies partially within Thingvellir National Park. The volcanic origin of the islands in the lake is clearly visible.

Notes:
The island nation of Kiribati, officially known as Republic of Kiribati is located in central Pacific Ocean. The largest lake of Kiribati is Washington Lake.

Notes:
The Republic of Mali is country situated in the west Africa. The lowest point situated in the country is the river Senegal which is about 23 meters high above mean sea level.

Notes:
Endogenic forces sometimes produce sudden movements and at the other times produce slow movements. Sudden movements like earthquakes and volcanoes cause mass destruction over the surface of the earth.

Notes:
There are 8 planets of the solar system that revolve around the sun: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Pluto was stripped of its planetary status and categorized as a ‘dwarf planet’ by the International Astronomical Union in 2005.

Notes:
Stars twinkle because they are point light sources. Passing through the atmosphere, the small beam of light constantly shifts by bouncing off particles in the air. The much closer planets appear instead as tiny disks in the sky. Their apparent sizes are usually larger than the pockets of air that would distort their light, so the effects of scintillation are negligible. Being closer, planets appear as discs, with the shifting of light from one side cancelling out the other.

Notes:
An earthquake is also known as a quake, tremor or temblor. At the Earth’s surface, earthquakes manifest themselves by shaking and sometimes displacement of the ground. It is the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earth’s crust that creates seismic waves.

Notes:
Taal Volcano, in Batangas province, is acknowledged as the world’s smallest volcano. It is among the Philippines’ most active volcanoes, with its picturesque yet hazardous setting within a lake, marking it as a significant geological feature.
