NMT Geography: 30 official computer-based tasks, maximum 46 raw points. Stage 2: History of Ukraine and the selected elective share 120 minutes. Candidates allocate time within the stage; there is no fixed 60-minute subject limit. Independent English-language four-option MCQ study adaptation by OpenExamPrep.

Sample NMT Geography Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the NMT Geography exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 40+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1A map has a scale of 1:25,000. Two places are 8 cm apart on the map. What straight-line ground distance does this represent?

A.0.2 km

B.2 km

C.20 km

D.200 km

Explanation: Multiply 8 cm by 25,000 to obtain 200,000 cm. This equals 2,000 m, or 2 km.

2On a contour map, neighboring contours represent equal elevation intervals. Where is the slope steepest?

A.Where contours are farthest apart

B.Where contours have the lowest labels

C.Where contours are closest together

D.Where a contour crosses a meridian

Explanation: Closely spaced contours show a large elevation change over a short horizontal distance. Contour labels alone do not determine steepness.

3Place B lies 15° east of place A. How does their local mean solar time compare, ignoring civil time zones and daylight saving time?

A.B is one hour ahead

B.B is one hour behind

C.B is fifteen hours ahead

D.Their solar times are identical

Explanation: Earth rotates through 360° in about 24 hours, corresponding to 15° per hour. Local solar time is later at the eastern location.

4Which statement describes the Coriolis deflection of large-scale horizontal air movement?

A.Left in both hemispheres

B.Right in both hemispheres

C.Left in the north and right in the south

D.Right in the north and left in the south

Explanation: Earth's rotation produces a rightward deflection in the Northern Hemisphere and a leftward deflection in the Southern Hemisphere. This deflection helps shape circulation rather than initiating motion by itself.

5What is a drainage divide?

A.The deepest point in a river channel

B.A boundary separating adjacent drainage basins

C.The point where two rivers join

D.A river's average annual discharge

Explanation: A divide separates land draining toward different outlets. Water on opposite sides therefore enters different drainage basins.

6A descending oceanic plate meets a continental plate at a convergent boundary. Which combination is most characteristic of this setting?

A.A mid-ocean ridge and seafloor spreading

B.A transform fault without subduction

C.An ocean trench and a continental volcanic belt

D.A stable continental interior without earthquakes

Explanation: Subduction bends the oceanic plate into a trench. Processes above the descending plate can generate magma and a continental volcanic belt.

7An air parcel at 20°C contains 8 g of water vapor per cubic meter. Its saturation water-vapor density at that temperature is given as 16 g/m³. What is its relative humidity?

A.50%

B.8%

C.16%

D.200%

Explanation: Relative humidity is the actual vapor amount divided by the saturation amount at the same temperature. Here 8 ÷ 16 × 100% = 50%.

8A town lies at 48° N, 30° E. Which movement decreases its latitude while leaving its longitude unchanged?

A.Due east

B.Due west

C.Due north

D.Due south

Explanation: Moving south from a northern latitude moves toward the equator and decreases the latitude value. Following a meridian keeps longitude unchanged.

9Which mountain system formed at the collision zone between the Indian and Eurasian plates?

A.Andes

B.Himalayas

C.Appalachians

D.Great Dividing Range

Explanation: The Himalayas developed through continental collision between the Indian and Eurasian plates. They illustrate mountain building at a convergent boundary.

10Why can a cold coastal current contribute to dry conditions along an adjacent subtropical coast?

A.It guarantees daily thunderstorms

B.It removes the subtropical high-pressure belt

C.It cools near-surface air and can help maintain stable conditions that suppress convection

D.It makes the ocean surface hotter than the desert

Explanation: Cold surface water cools nearby air and can support an inversion that limits rising motion. Along with regional circulation, this helps explain some coastal deserts.
