Question 1
1 / -0

What is a contributing factor to the limited air services between 10-35 latitudes in the Southern hemisphere?

A
Political conflicts

B
Harsh weather conditions

C
Sparse population and limited landmass

D
High operational costs

Solution

Limited air services exist between 10-35 latitudes in the Southern hemisphere due to sparser population, limited landmass, and economic development.
Question 2
1 / -0

Which technology played a significant role in the colonization of the American West?

A
Telephone

B
Telegraph

C
Satellite communication

D
Optic fiber cables

Solution

The telegraph was instrumental in the colonization of the American West. It facilitated long-distance communication during that period, making it a crucial technology for communication.

Which region has a dense network of inter-continental air routes according to the information provided?

A
South America

B
Western Europe

C
Africa

D
Australia

Solution

A dense network of inter-continental air routes exists in Western Europe, along with Eastern U.S.A. and Southeast Asia.

Question 5
1 / -0

Which country has the highest density of railway network?

A
Brazil

B
The U.S.A.

C
Canada

D
Russia

Solution

The USA has the highest density of railway networks. The densest rail network is found in the highly industrialised and urbanised region of East-Central U.S.A. and adjoining Canada.
Question 6
1 / -0

What advantage do artificial satellites offer in terms of communication, according to the passage?

A
They reduce the cost of communication.

B
They increase the time taken for communication.

C
They require on-site verification for connectivity.

D
They limit communication to specific regions.

Solution

Artificial satellites deployed in Earth's orbit connect remote corners of the globe with limited on-site verification and render the unit cost and time of communication invariant in terms of distance. This implies that regardless of the distance, the cost of communication remains the same.
Question 7
1 / -0

How has the distribution of Internet users changed over time?

A
The majority shifted from developed to developing countries.

B
The majority shifted from developing to developed countries.

C
The distribution remained largely unchanged.

D
Internet users primarily come from urban areas now.

Solution

There has been a shift among global users from the USA to developing countries, with a decrease in the USA's percentage share of Internet users from 66% in 1995 to only 25% in 2005. This indicates a significant change in the distribution of Internet users over time.
Question 8
1 / -0

What technology facilitated the integration of telecommunication with computers in the 1990s?

A
Satellite communication

B
Copper cable systems

C
Optic fiber cables

D
Internet

Solution

With the digitization of information in the 1990s, telecommunication slowly merged with computers to form integrated networks termed as the Internet. This integration marked a significant development in communication technology during that period.
Question 9
1 / -0

Question 10
1 / -0

What is one consequence of air transport's ability to overcome natural obstacles like landslides and heavy snowfall?

A
Decreased accessibility to remote areas

B
Increased reliance on ground transportation

C
Enhanced connectivity to inaccessible regions

D
Higher operational costs

Solution

Air transport overcomes obstacles like landslides and heavy snowfall, which can hinder ground transportation. This implies that air transport enhances connectivity to inaccessible regions.
