Sample Sudan School Certificate — Geography and Environmental Studies Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the Sudan School Certificate — Geography and Environmental Studies exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 20+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1On a map at scale 1:50,000, what ground distance does 1 cm represent?
A.50 m
B.500 m
C.5 km
D.50 km
Explanation: One centimetre represents 50,000 cm on the ground. Dividing by 100 converts this to 500 m.
2Which activity is an example of remote sensing?
A.Measuring soil with a probe inserted into it
B.Counting trees by walking through a plot
C.Recording land-cover images from a satellite
D.Measuring a river with a tape stretched across it
Explanation: Remote sensing obtains information without direct contact with the measured surface. A satellite sensor records energy from the land remotely.
3Which image generally offers finer ground detail when other relevant conditions are comparable?
A.An image with 100 m pixels
B.An image with 30 m pixels
C.An image with 10 m pixels
D.An image with 1 m pixels
Explanation: Smaller ground pixels provide finer spatial sampling. A 1 m pixel covers less ground than the other listed sizes, although actual feature recognition also depends on image quality.
4A vertical aerial photograph of level ground is taken 3000 m above the ground with a camera focal length of 150 mm. Using photo scale = focal length/height, what is its approximate scale?
A.1:20,000
B.1:200
C.1:2,000
D.1:200,000
Explanation: Convert 150 mm to 0.150 m. The scale is 0.150/3000 = 1/20,000, with both lengths expressed in the same unit.
5Two hills rise by the same height. Their contours are much closer together on one side of the map than on the other, with a constant contour interval. What does the closer spacing indicate?
A.A gentler slope
B.A steeper slope
C.A lower contour interval
D.A larger river discharge
Explanation: Close contours place the same vertical rise within a shorter horizontal distance. That gives a larger gradient and therefore a steeper slope.
6Using local solar time only, a place at 30 degrees E is at noon when a second place is at 10:00 a.m. What is the second place's longitude? Assume 15 degrees corresponds to one hour.
A.60 degrees E
B.30 degrees W
C.0 degrees
D.15 degrees E
Explanation: The second place is two hours behind, so it lies 30 degrees farther west. Subtracting 30 degrees from 30 degrees E gives longitude 0 degrees; civil time zones are not being used.
7The same road measures 4 cm on a 1:50,000 map and 2 cm on an aerial photograph. What is the photograph's scale?
A.1:25,000
B.1:50,000
C.1:200,000
D.1:100,000
Explanation: The map represents 4 x 50,000 = 200,000 cm on the ground. Two centimetres on the photograph therefore represent 200,000 cm, giving 1:100,000.
8What chiefly distinguishes commercial farming from subsistence farming?
A.Production mainly for sale rather than mainly for the household's own use
B.Use of rainfall rather than irrigation
C.Growing crops rather than keeping animals
D.Use of fertile rather than infertile land
Explanation: The distinction concerns the primary purpose of production. Either system can use rain or irrigation and can involve crops or livestock.
9A farm harvests 48 tonnes of grain from 12 hectares. What is its average yield?
A.576 tonnes per hectare
B.4 tonnes per hectare
C.0.25 tonnes per hectare
D.36 tonnes per hectare
Explanation: Yield per hectare is output divided by harvested area. Thus 48/12 = 4 tonnes per hectare.
10Why can repeated irrigation with saline water and inadequate drainage harm crops in an arid area?
A.Evaporation removes salts while leaving the water behind
B.Plant water uptake removes all salts in the same proportion
C.Salts accumulate in the root zone as water is lost
D.Poor drainage increases the downward flushing of salts
Explanation: Evaporation and plant water uptake can leave salts behind. Without sufficient drainage and salt removal, root-zone salinity can rise and hinder water uptake by crops.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is every topic in the old textbook examinable?

No. The published guide lists exclusions, including specified international-agreement and population material. Follow the current school instructions and official exclusions.

Who takes Geography?

Geography and Environmental Studies is named in the academic literary stream combination. Current registration and eligibility should be confirmed with the examination administration.

Are the current sitting fee and pass mark verified?

No. These fields are pending primary-source confirmation. Check the current examination instructions and your registered school or centre. The Ministry portal publishes certificate issuance charges; those do not establish the examination sitting fee or a per-subject total.
