3a. Explain the following terms
===================
– Rotation of the earth: Rotation of the earth describes the spinning of the earth around its axis, resulting in the 24 hour phenomenon of day and night over the earth.
– Revolution of the earth: Revolution on the other hand describes the movement of the earth around the sun over a period of one year, causing seasons to occur.
– Equinon: An equinox is a period in theorbit of a planet in which the planet’s orbit and position cause the Sun to pass directly over the equator.An equinox occurs twice a year, around 20 March and 22 September.

-Barriers to communication;they serve as barrier to communication as they prevent rails road and airport construction
-Mountains promote soil erosions;Areas close to mountains are easily eroded due to speed of the running water

Climate can be defined as the average condition of a place over a long period of time e.g 35years

6b)
-Torrid zone;this zone is found within the tropics,the zone is very hot and it has a high temperature
-Temperate zone;this zone is found within the torrid and frigid zone,it has mild or moderate temperature and it has seasonal contrast in temperature
-Frigid zone;this zone is found in the polar regions,it is generally cold with low temperature throughout the year and it has a lot of ice caps in the greater larger part of the year

-It is very simple to understand
-it is objective
-it is quantitative because numerical values are used for defining boundries of climatic groups

-Afforestation;the planting of trees to prevent desert encrouchment
-Irrigation;this is the artificial application of water to land encourages the growth vegetation
-Cover cropping;The planting of leguminous plant to cover the soil can also reduce desert encrpouchment
-Rotational grazing;The rotation of farm animals on pasture can also reduce desert encrouchment
-Environmental education;people should be educated on the danger of desert encrouchment and how it can be prevented.
