Biology · 50 practice questions
Tropical rainforest; Guinea savanna (southern and northern); Sudan savanna; desert; highlands and montane forests/grasslands (e.g. Obudu, Jos, Mambilla plateaus).
- Locate biomes in their regions.
- Apply knowledge of the features of these local biomes to determine the characteristics of different regions of Nigeria.
Try a few questions
- Practice question 1
Wildlife such as the gorilla and forest elephant, found within Nigerian conservation areas, specifically are most closely associated with the
- A.a factor entirely unrelated to the tropical rainforest biome of any kind
- B.desert biome, a habitat not typically suited to these particular species
- C.tropical rainforest biome
- D.Sahel savanna biome, a habitat not typically suited to these species
Show the answer
C. tropical rainforest biome
Wildlife such as the gorilla and forest elephant, in Nigerian conservation areas, specifically are most closely associated with the rainforest biome.
- Practice question 2
Highland biomes, such as those found on the Jos Plateau, specifically experience cooler temperatures due to their
- A.a factor entirely unrelated to elevated altitude of any kind
- B.no particular geographic feature of any kind, despite experiencing cooler temperatures
- C.proximity to the coast, rather than any elevated altitude
- D.elevated altitude
Show the answer
D. elevated altitude
Highland biomes, such as the Jos Plateau, specifically experience cooler temperatures due to their elevated altitude.
- Practice question 3
Groundnut and cotton, economically important crops, specifically are most closely associated with Nigeria's
- A.a factor entirely unrelated to the savanna belt of any kind
- B.tropical rainforest belt, a region less associated with these specific crops
- C.mangrove swamp belt, a region not well suited to these particular crops
- D.savanna belt
Show the answer
D. savanna belt
Groundnut and cotton, economically important crops, specifically are most closely associated with Nigeria's savanna belt.
