Paper II: Essay – Human and Regional Geography 10:00am – 12:00noon
 
2020 NECO HUMAN & REGIONAL GEOGRAPHY (GEOGRAPHY II) ESSAY / THEORY ANSWERS:
SECTION A
(Answer ANY TWO Questions)

(1a)
Optimum population can be defined as the number of people that can be supported by the available resources in an area, so as to achieve the highest possible standard of living.


(1bi)
Over population: Over population is defined as a situation whereby the population is considered too large for the available resources, for people to enjoy the highest possible standard of living. In other worlds, over population refers to a situation where the population exceeds the available resources. Over population provides large labour force for industries. It is also a source of large market for the goods produced by the industries.

(1bii)
Mortality rate: Mortality rate is also known as Death rate. It refers to the rate at which people (both adult and children) die in a country. Generally, high death rate leads to population decrease or low population while low death rate leads to increase in population. When medical services are poor, mortality rate tends to increase. High rate of infant mortality leads to decrease in population.

(1biii)
Birth rate: Birth rate is also known as Natality rate. It refers to the rate at which children are being given birth to in that country. Generally, high birth rate may lead to increase in population or over population while low birth rate can lead to low population. As a results of improved medical services, death rate has reduced while birth rate has improved. Improved standard of living encourages men to marry more wives, thereby increasing birth rate.

(1biv)
Population density: Population density is defined as the number of persons per unit area of land or per square kilometre of land. Population density of a country can be expressed Mathematically as
Population density=Total population /land Area
(ii) Total population = population density × land area
(iii) Land area= Total population / population density.


(1c)
(PROBLEM)

(ii) Soil leaching: Due to depletion of vegetation cover, the soil available for production is now exposed to heavy leaching of the soil nutrients.

(ii) Coal: A coal fired power station or coal plant is a thermal power station which burns coal to generate electricity, Example can be found in kogi and Enugu State with a capacity of 2000MW with 1000mw in each.

(iii) Gas fired power plant: A gas fired plant is a thermal power station which burns natural gas to generate electricity. Example can be located in Calabar with 561MW, Egbema power plant in Imo state with 338MW and Egbin thermal power station location in Egbin with 1320MW
