76. Write the types of Economic Activity (1.5 point)

Economic activity is the production, distribution and exchange of goods
and services. Some examples of these activities are hunting, fishing,
farming, grazing, mining, manufacturing, transportation, trade and
others. The economic activities practiced in the world are grouped into
five these are:
1. Primary Economic Activity
2. Secondary, Economic Activity
3. Tertiary, Economic Activity
4. Quaternary Economic Activity
5. Quinary Economic Activity
77.State most commonly used methods of gathering information about

human populations and Explain them (2 point)

 Census is defined as “The total process of collecting, analyzing,

compiling and publishing demographic, economic and social data of
all persons in a country or delineated territory at a specified time.
 A sample survey is the second most important and widely used
source of population data. It collects information only from a part
of the whole population. They are usually undertaken to generate
socio-economic and demographic data in greater detail than
conventional censuses can provide
 Vital registration is another source of population data. It refers
to the continuous registration of such vital events as births,
deaths, marriages and divorces. These events are recorded as they
occur. Data on vital events are gathered from birth and death
certificates, marriage licenses, divorce records and other official
registers.
78.What is the difference between Tundra and Polar ice cap (2 point)

 The word tundra refers to an area where the growth of trees is

prevented due to low temperatures and short seasons that restrict
growth.
 Tundra is a transitional zone between the polar ice caps and the
coniferous forest belt. Tundra is found only in the northern
hemisphere. It extends along the northern Arctic shores of the
continental land mass.

 Polar icecap is a high latitude region of the earth that is covered with ice.
The two polar ice caps are located near the North and South poles. These
natural regions include Greenland and the Arctic islands and Arctic Ocean in
the northern hemisphere and the continent of Antarctica and the South Sea
in the southern hemisphere.

79.What is the difference between Mediterrean and Coniferous forest

region(2 point)
 The Mediterranean region is located on the western coasts of the
continents, particularly in the middle latitudes (30 o to 45o north and
30o to 400south of the equator).
 Coniferous region lies approximately between 55 0 North and 700
North latitudes. The coniferous forests are found only in the
northern hemisphere.
80. Write and Explain Relief /landform of Ethiopia (2 point)
Ethiopia is characterized by a variety of landforms, such as mountains,
plains, depressions, and valleys. The major landforms of Ethiopia can be
classified into:
1. Highland
Highlands of Ethiopia are grouped into three areas:
1. Northern highlands: include Tigray, Wollo, Gojjam, Gonder and the
Shewan plateaus.Example Mount Tsibet in Tigray (3,988 m.a.s.l)
Mount Kolo in Wollo lasta (4,300 m.a.s.l)
Mount Birhan in Gojjam (4,100 m.a.s.l)
Mount Ras Dashen in Gonder (4,620 m.a.s.l)
Mount Abbuye Meda Shewan plateau 4,000
2 . The Southwest Highlands: include parts of Wellega, Illubabor, Keffa,
Gamogoffa and Benishangul highlands.
Example Mount Tullu Wallel in Wellega
Mount Maji- Korma in Kaffa
Mount Gamo -K|onso in Gamogoffa
Mount Benisangule in Benishangul – Gumeze
Mt Gughe has the highest altitude: 4200 masl. It is found in the Gammo plateau.
3. The Southeast Highlands: They are separated from the northern
and southwestern highlands by the Ethiopian Rift Valley. They
include the Arsi-Bale Massif, Jemjem Plateaus and Hararghe
Highlands. Example Mount Chillallo in Arsi (4,136 m.a.s.l)

Mount Tulu Dimtu in Bale (4,377 m.a.s.l)

Mount Gara Muleta in Harerghe (3,381 m.a.s.l )
The highlands of Ethiopia account for more than half of the total area of the
country. They experience cool climate and adequate rainfall. Here altitude
modifies the climatic condition of Ethiopia.
2. Lowland
Lowlands of Ethiopia include the areas below 1000 meters in altitude, and they are
mostly found in the peripheral parts of Ethiopia. They are grouped into three
categories. These are:
1 Western Lowlands: They include the Tekeze-Setit lowland, the Abay Dinder and
thermo- Akobo lowlands.
Southeastern Lowlands: include the Borana, Elkerre and Ogaden lowlands.
Awash-Afar Lowland: occupies the floor of the Rift Valley.
The Awash Valley: extends from the south of Koka Dam to the mouth of the
Awash River.
Afar Depression: extends northwards within the floor of the Rift Valley. It is the
lowest point of Ethiopia, and the Kobar sink (116 m below sea level) is part of it.
81. What is the difference between Producers and Consumer in an
ecosystem (2 point)
 Producers are the green plants. They make their own food by means of
photosynthesis. Green plants are the primary passage from one organism to
another along the food chain. A food chain is a simple way of showing how
energy in the form of food passes from one organism to another.
 Consumers are animals, which get their energy from the producers or from
organisms that eat producers.
There are three types of consumers:
 Herbivores (primary consumers) are animals that eat plants.
 Carnivores (secondary consumers) are animals that eat herbivores and
sometimes other carnivores.
 Omnivores are animals that eat both plants and other animals.
