(3a) 

 i) beaches

ii)delta

iii)glacial moraines

iv)sand dunes

v)salt domes

Pick any three of your choice

(3B DIAGRAM) 

(3b) Mode Of Formation of Stack: It is formed by wave erosion. There is presence of head land. Wave erosion attacks headland both sides. Two caves formed of opposite sides of headland. Further erosion of caves produces arch when caves join up, roof of arch collapses and seaward portion of the headland remains it is called stack.

(3c) 

 i) it helps in reducing the damage which would have been caused by the waves and winds. 

ii) it was significant in the past especially in the history of human settlement.

(4b) Mode of Formation Chemically formed Sedimentary Rocks: Chemically Sedimentary rocks are formed from sediments deposited either by water, wind or ice. These sediments are deposited in layers or strata one on top of the other, and after a long period of time, they become harden by compression to form sedimentary rocks. 

(4c)

(i) Source of Minerals: Some rocks are sources of minerals such as Gold, Diamond which can be exported to provide foreign exchange for a country.

(ii) Source of Fuel: Especially Sedimentary Rocks like petroleum and coal are sources of fuel for domestic and industrial uses.

(iii) Construction Purposes: Some rocks like granite and sand stone are quarried and used for road, bridge, and building construction.

(iv) Raw Materials for industries.

( 7a)

Weathering is the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals on Earths surface

( 7b)

Carbonation is the process of rock minerals reacting with carbonic acid. ... of a relatively weathering resistant mineral, feldspar. When this mineral is completely hydrolyzed, clay minerals and quartz are produced and such elements as K, Ca, or Na are released

carbonation occurs when CO₂ from the atmosphere slowly enters concrete over time, reacting with some of the reaction products of cement hydration and water in the pores (i.e., small pockets in the structure of hardened concrete

(bii)

Hydrolysis: - the breakdown of rock by acidic water to produce clay and soluble salts

( 7c)

Temperature changes can also contribute to mechanical weathering in a process called thermal stress.

 Changes in temperature cause rock to expand (with heat) and contract (with cold). As this happens over and over again, the structure of the rock weakens. Over time, it crumbles..

=========================

(5b)

(i) Day and Night: As the earth rotates, only one part of the earth's surface facing the sun receives the rays of the sun and experiences daylight (Day) while the other part of the earth backing the sun's rays will experience darkness (Night)

(ii) Apparent Sunrise and Sunset: During rotation of the earth, part of the earth that emerges from the darkness into rays of the sun experiences sunrise while the part that is moving away from the sun's rays to darkness will experience sunset.

(5biii)

During a lunar eclipse, when the Earth is between the sun and the moon, they identified the shadow of the Earth on the moon. As the shadow moves across the moon it is round. This would suggest that the Earth is a sphere.

5) Land resources.

6) Human resources.
