(ii) Explain how the following factors influence soil formation.
. Time 
. Parent rock 

Time
  •  Where soil formation process takes a short duration, the soils are generally immature/where the process has taken a long period of time, soils are generally well developed mature.
Parent rock
  •  The nature of rock influences the rate of weathering in that soft rocks weather fast, while hard rocks are resistant and weather slowly.
  •  The parent rock determines the soil texture in that, large/course grained rocks produce large/course grained soils/small fine grained rocks produce small fine grained soils..
  •  The type of minerals in the parent rock are transferred to the soil during formation.

(b) Describe the following properties of soil.
. Soil texture 
. Soil porosity 
. Soil colour 

Soil texture
  •  This is the degree of fineness or coarseness of the particles making up the soil.

  •  The texture controls the size and spacing of the soil pores.
  •  This effects the soil water content/the drainage/leaching/soil aeration
Soil Porosity
  •  This is the amount of pore spaces in the soil.
  •  The size of the pore spaces determine the water flowing in the soul sandy soils have high porosity hence allow water to pass through.
  •  Clay soils have few pores hence retain water.
Soil colour
  •  The soil have different colours influenced by parent rock/vegetation leaching processes.
  •  Black/dark brown soils denote a lot of humus.
  • Grey soils are characteristics of poorly drained/water logged soils.
  •  Whitish soils show high concentration of salts.
  •  Reddish soils have high concentration of iron.
(a) (i) What is soil structure?  (ii) Explain how the following factors influence soil formation. . Time  . Parent rock  (b) Describe the following properties of soil. . Soil texture  . Soil porosity  . Soil colour  (c) State four negative effects of soil erosion.  (d) You are planning to carry out a field study on soil around your school.

  •  It helps to regulate the surface water/underground water and water in the atmosphere.
  • It provides underground water through percolation.
  •  Large rivers drain into oceans and lakes to form water bodies.
  •  Water evaporates from the ground causing drying up of water bodies/arid conditions.
  •  It controls the elements of weather such as temperatures/humidity and rainfall.
  •  Water vapour maintains the heat energy in the atmosphere
  •  Moisture in the atmosphere influences both solar/ terrestrial radiation.

(ii) With an aid of a well labelled diagram, describe the formation of anticlinorium and synclonorium complex.

  • Land is subjected to minor compressional force resulting to formation of minor folds on the surface.
  •  Greater compressional forces causes the land with minor folds to form large anticlines and synclines.
  •  The upfolds/anticlines are called anticlinorium while the downfolds/synclines are called syclinorium.
(ii) With an aid of a well labelled diagram, describe the formation of anticlinorium and synclonorium complex.

0 Comments

 
KCSE Geography Paper 1 2017 Section B Question 7.

(a) (i) Apart from metamorphic rocks, name two other categories of rocks.

  • Sedimentary rocks
  •  Igneous rocks

(ii) Describe the following processes of formation of metamorphic rocks.
. Dynamic metamorphism 
. Thermal metamorphism 

 Dynamic metamorphism
  •  Original rock is subjected to intense pressure.
  •  Pressure is caused by compressional force when the crustal plates collide.
  •  The great pressure alters the mineral line up in the rock] structure.
  •  The rock changes their physical appearance and characteristics forming a new rock.
 Thermal metamorphism
  •  Rocks are subjected to intense heat.
  •  Heat may be due to rocks being buried at great depths/due to contact with magma.
  • The hot magma melts the minerals of the original rock, they cool and solidify to form a totally different rock/recrystallize the rock grains.
  •  New minerals may also be added into the rock by the intruding magma.
  •  The new rocks change their physical appearance/chemical composition.

​(b) Explain three ways in which rocks are significant to human activities in Kenya.

  •  Rocks contribute to formation of different soils that are used for agricultural activities.
  •  Some rocks contain valuable minerals/substances that can be used in industries/ for fuel.
  • Some rocks provide building/construction materials.
  • Some rock outcrops attract tourists such as granitic tors in Kakamega/Kisumu.
  •  Some rocks are used for carvings such as the Kisii soapstones.
  •  Some rocks provide raw materials for industries example limestone.
  •  Some rocks act as underground water reservoirs to provide water for irrigation / domestic use.
  •  Some rocks are used for educational purposes/research.
  •  Provide salt licks as a source of minerals for livestock people.
