1Which description best fits human geography?

A.Only physical landforms and climate systems

B.The relationship between human societies and the earth’s surface

C.Only mineral and energy resource distribution

D.Only political boundaries of states

Explanation: Human geography studies how people organise space, how societies interact with the environment, and spatial patterns of human activities on the earth’s surface.

2Which approach stresses culture’s imprint on the landscape?

A.Quantitative revolution approach

B.Environmental determinism

C.Possibilism

D.Cultural landscape approach

Explanation: The cultural landscape approach (associated with Carl Sauer and others) focuses on how human culture modifies and shapes the natural landscape.

3Environmental determinism is the claim that:

A.Humans freely create any environment they choose

B.The physical environment largely controls human activities and culture

C.Technology has eliminated all environmental influence

D.Culture has no link with nature

Explanation: Environmental determinism argues that climate, relief and other physical factors largely determine human behaviour, culture and economic activity.

4Possibilism mainly suggests that:

A.Nature offers possibilities and humans choose among them

B.Climate alone decides economic development

C.Humans cannot modify any natural constraint

D.All regions have identical development paths

Explanation: Possibilism (Vidal de la Blache and others) argues the environment presents a set of possibilities; human choice, culture and technology select among them.

5Which field is a recognised branch of human geography?

A.Geomorphology

B.Climatology

C.Population geography

D.Oceanography

Explanation: Population geography is a core sub-field of human geography; the others are mainly physical geography branches.

A.Humans may proceed when nature ‘signals green’ and must stop when nature ‘signals red’

B.Culture has zero influence on economy

C.Only plate tectonics shapes settlements

D.All trade is environmentally determined

Explanation: Griffith Taylor’s neo-determinism uses a traffic-signal metaphor: humans can advance within environmental limits and should halt when those limits are breached.

7The quantitative revolution is best associated with:

A.Exclusive focus on descriptive regional monographs only

B.Use of statistical techniques and spatial models

C.Rejection of all maps and diagrams

D.Study of only ancient civilisations

Explanation: The quantitative revolution (mid-20th century) introduced statistical methods, models and spatial science approaches into geography.

8Welfare/humanistic approaches focus more on:

A.Only plate tectonics measurements

B.Lived experience, inequality and quality of life

A.Evenly spread across all continents

B.Highly uneven, with major clusters in Asia and parts of Europe

C.Only along the equator

D.Only in polar regions

Explanation: Global population distribution is highly uneven; large shares live in South Asia, East Asia and Europe, while vast arid, cold and mountainous areas are sparsely populated.

10Physiological density equals:

A.Total population ÷ total land area

B.Total population ÷ arable (cultivable) land area

C.Urban population ÷ rural population
