1Who is widely regarded as the 'Father of Human Geography' for coining the term and writing Anthropogeographie?
A.Friedrich Ratzel
B.Vidal de la Blache
C.Ellsworth Huntington
D.Carl Ritter
Explanation: Friedrich Ratzel, a German geographer, coined 'Human Geography' and authored Anthropogeographie, establishing systematic study of human–environment relations. He is therefore called the Father of Human Geography in standard Class 12 teaching.
2Which school of thought argues that the physical environment strictly controls human activities and culture?
A.Possibilism
B.Environmental determinism
C.Quantitative revolution
D.Behaviouralism
Explanation: Environmental determinism holds that nature largely determines human culture, economy, and settlement. It is associated with the German school (Ratzel, Semple) and contrasts with French possibilism.
3Vidal de la Blache is most closely associated with which concept of man–environment relationship?
A.Stop-and-go determinism
B.Climatic determinism
C.Possibilism
D.Probabilism only in physics
Explanation: Vidal de la Blache founded the French school of possibilism: the environment offers a set of possibilities and humans, through culture and technology, select among them.
4Griffith Taylor’s ‘neo-determinism’ or ‘stop-and-go determinism’ best means that:
A.Humans can ignore nature completely with modern technology
B.Only climate determines civilisation levels forever
C.Population growth always follows Malthusian collapse
D.Nature sets limits but humans may advance when conditions allow, like traffic lights controlling flow
Explanation: Neo-determinism (Griffith Taylor) compares nature to traffic lights: humans may proceed when environmental conditions permit, must slow or stop when limits bind, and technology cannot erase natural constraints entirely.
5The mid-twentieth-century ‘Quantitative Revolution’ in Human Geography mainly introduced:
A.Statistical and mathematical techniques for spatial analysis
B.Only descriptive travel writing without maps
C.Exclusive focus on physical geology field trips
D.Abandonment of all population data
Explanation: During the Quantitative Revolution (especially the 1950s–60s), geographers adopted statistical methods, models, and mathematical approaches to make human geography more scientific and spatial-analytic.
6Population density is best defined as:
A.Total births minus total deaths in a year
B.Number of persons per unit of land area
C.Ratio of males to females only
D.Share of urban residents worldwide
Explanation: Population density measures how many people live per unit area (commonly persons per km²). It is distinct from growth rate, sex ratio, or urbanisation percentage.
7Which continent has the largest share of the world’s population?
A.Europe
B.Africa
C.Asia
D.North America
Explanation: Asia contains the world’s most populous countries (including China and India) and accounts for roughly three-fifths of global population—by far the largest continental share.
8In the classic Demographic Transition Model, Stage 2 (early expanding) is characterised by:
A.High birth rate and high death rate both staying high
B.Low birth rate and low death rate throughout
C.Zero migration and no natural increase
D.High birth rate with rapidly falling death rate
Explanation: Stage 2 shows death rates falling (better food, sanitation, medicine) while birth rates remain high, producing rapid natural increase—the ‘early expanding’ phase.
9Sex ratio in population geography is commonly expressed as:
A.Number of females per 1,000 males (or males per 1,000 females, depending on convention)
B.Number of children per woman only
C.Urban population divided by rural population
D.Literate persons per square kilometre
Explanation: Sex ratio compares the number of females and males in a population. In Indian census convention it is often females per 1,000 males; some global datasets reverse the form. It is not a fertility, urbanisation, or literacy density measure.
10The Human Development Index (HDI), popularised by Mahbub ul Haq with Amartya Sen’s capability insights, combines which three broad dimensions?
A.Area, coastline length, and mineral reserves
B.Health (life expectancy), education, and standard of living (income/GNI per capita)
C.Military strength, export volume, and forest cover only
D.Birth rate, death rate, and migration rate only
Explanation: HDI summarises average achievement in long healthy life (life expectancy), knowledge (education indicators), and a decent standard of living (GNI per capita). It shifts development focus from income alone to people-centred capabilities.
