1D1 Physical Geography Review Questions
BELOW ARE 55 QUESTIONS THAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED FAIR GAME ON
A UNIT TEST. SOME QUESTIONS REQUIRE YOU TO CREATE A SKETCH.
WHENEVER YOU MAKE A SKETCH YOU MUST REMEMBER TO FULLY
LABEL IT.
IT IS A USEFUL TOOL TO STUDY WITH.
1. Draw the snout of a glacier calving
2. List any 7 features of glaciation (either alpine or continental)
3. Draw and fully label a subduction zone
4. Draw and label how lightning works
5. What is precipitation measured in on a climate graph?
6. Name 6 factors that affect climate
7. What is the significance of the year 1915?
8. Draw and label any 3 of your answers in #6
9. Write the definition of an ecozone
10. How many land-based ecozones are there in Canada
11. What is the name of the ecozone in which we live
12. What is the name of the largest ecozone in Canada
13. What is the acronym used to remember 4 pc of plate tectonic evidence
14. Name the 4 pieces of evidence
15. What do you get when two tectonic plates converge (name it)
16. Draw #14
17. what do you get when two tectonic plates diverge (name it)
18. Draw #16
19. what do you get when one tectonic plate subducts beneath another one (name it)
20. Which is high pressure – sunny skies or rain
21. Draw and fully label the ROCK CYCLE (hint: you should have 15 labels on it when
you are done) Remember: start with blob, 3 rocks, pile of stuff.
22. list any 3 good pieces of advice when talking about lightning safety
23. sketch and label freeze/thaw on a sidewalk
24. What was Pangaea?
25. Give at least one example of each of the 3 types of rocks in the rock cycle
26. How many tectonic plates are said to exist

32. List then sketch and label 3 different types of precipitation
33. Name the four geologic eras in order from most recent to earliest
34. Which colour represents temperature on a climate graph?
35. Calculate the temperature range 35C – (-21C)
36. draw and label the structure of the Earth and label all parts
37. draw an iceberg and label the % seen / not seen
38. What landform region do we live in?
39. Why is under so much pressure?
40. What was the longest era in geologic history?

48. Do convection currents travel in more than 1 direction?
49. What is the type of tectonic plate movement not yet mentioned in this review?
50. T/F ? the inner core is under immense pressure
51. Draw and fully label orographic precipitation
52. Draw and fully label convectional precipitation
53. Draw and fully label cyclonic precipitation
54. Which one (#45-47) would we see the most of in Bowmanville
55. Write down 3 questions you still have regarding the test that you would like to ask
somebody about before writing the test.
THE END
IF YOU ANSWERED ALL 55 QUESTIONS CORRECTLY WITHOUT LOOKING
THROUGH YOUR NOTES YOU STAND A GOOD CHANCE ON GETTING A
GREAT MARK ON THE UNIT TEST. IF YOU HAD NO IDEA WHAT THE 55
QUESTIONS MEANT, YOU SHOULD PROBABLY BE CONCERNED…..
