NAME:
1.Read the text below and tick the alternative that correctly fills in the blanks: The _________________ present themselves as gigantic “pockets” of atmospheric air, with their own characteristics of temperature, humidity and pressure.
A) Air masses.
B)Layers of the atmosphere.
C) Storms.
D).Clouds
2.The largest hydrographic basin in the world, ________________ covers an area of about 7 million km², occupying approximately 42% of the national territory. In addition to Brazil, it extends to six other countries in South America: Peru, Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela, Guyana and Bolivia.
After reading the text, mark the alternative that correctly fills the gap:A) Paraná River Basin.
B) Uruguay River Basin.
C)Basin of the Amazon River.
D). Pará Basin.
These are portions of salt water smaller than the oceans. They can be classified as open ________________, interior ________________ and closed ________________.
A)Oceans
B) Seas
C)Rivers
D) Ponds
4. It can be caused by untreated household waste, especially in areas where people do not have access to basic sanitation (sanitary installation, sewage collection system, etc.). Garbage is dumped into the waters, turning them into open sewers: After reading the text, tick the correct alternative.
A) Urban pollution.
B) Agricultural pollution.
C) Oil leakage.
D) Gas leak
5.They are of great importance to nature and to society as a whole. In nature, they are responsible for ________________ transporting sediments from one point to another in the landscape and, in this way, they are able to modify the relief. After reading the text, mark the alternative that corresponds to the above statement:
A)Oceans.
B) Seas.
C)Rivers.
D) Streams.
6.The displacement of large ________________ in coastal regions can have a strong influence on the climate characteristics in the interior of continents. The explanation for this phenomenon is that the air masses have their characteristics of temperature, pressure and humidity changed when they move over the surface________________. After reading the text, mark the alternative that correctly fills in the blanks:
A) Marine currents.
B) Air masses.
C)Continentality.
D) Maritime
7. It is the set of lands limited by watersheds, which are concentrated in the highest regions of the relief. The ________________ is drained by a main river. Usually the ________________ are named after the main river (basin of the Paraná river, for example). After reading the text, mark the alternative that correctly fills in the blanks:
A) Tocantins and Araguaia river basins.
B) Confluence.
C) Hydrographic basins.
D). Defluence.
Climatic factor related to distance from the ocean.
Climatic factor related to the proximity of seas and oceans.
After reading, tick the alternative that corresponds to the above statements:
A)Continentality / Maritimeity.
B) Altitude/Latitude.
C) Air masses/confluence.
D).Sea currents and air masses.
