Below is the compilation of 10th-grade Geography semester 1 exam papers for the academic year 2024-2025

ANSWERS

SECTION 1: MULTIPLE CHOICE

SECTION 2: SCRIPTS

Question 1:

(1) Salinity

- Seawater contains many dissolved substances, primarily minerals.

- The average salinity of seawater is 35‰.

- Salinity increases or decreases depending on evaporation, rainfall, and river water inflow.

- Salinity changes according to latitude.

- Salinity also varies quite complexly with depth and depends on meteorological and hydrological conditions.

(2) Temperature

- The temperature regime of seawater is more balanced than the temperature policy of the air.

- The average surface temperature of the world's oceans is about 17°C.

- Seawater temperature changes seasonally. The temperature of seawater in summer is higher than in winter.

- Seawater temperature decreases from the Equator to the poles and with depth.

Question 2: Factors affecting rainfall include air pressure, fronts, winds, ocean currents, and topography.

- Air Pressure: Low-pressure areas draw winds and push moist air upwards, leading to cloud formation and rain. Regions with low pressure often have high rainfall, like the equatorial region. In high-pressure areas, air is compressed downward, preventing it from rising, leading to little rain like in the poles and subtropical areas.

- Fronts: Along warm or cold fronts, warm air rises above cold air and cools, causing rain. Areas affected by fronts or tropical convergence bands usually have high rainfall.

- Winds: Regions deep within continents, lacking oceanic winds, have very little rain. Areas with Trade Winds are generally dry, while those affected by monsoons receive significant rainfall.

- Ocean Currents: Coastal areas with warm currents have high rainfall, while those with cold currents receive less.

- Topography: On a windward slope, as altitude increases, the temperature decreases, and rainfall increases until reaching a height where air moisture diminishes, stopping rain. Windward slopes receive more rain, while leeward slopes are usually dry.

What are the basic characteristics of Geography in Vietnam?

Under Section 1 of the General education program for Geography at the upper secondary level issued together with Circular 32/2018/TT-BGDDT, specific regulations on the characteristics of the Geography curriculum are as follows:

- Geography education applies to all levels of general education. At the primary and lower secondary levels, the geography content is part of the History and Geography subject.

- At the upper secondary level, Geography is a subject in the group of social sciences, chosen based on students' preferences and career orientation.

- Geography encompasses both social science fields (Economic - Social Geography) and natural science fields (Physical Geography), providing students with basic knowledge of geography, related professions, and the ability to apply geographical knowledge in life;

Simultaneously, it reinforces and expands core general knowledge and skills developed in the basic education phase, establishing a solid foundation for students to pursue related professions.

What is the orientation of the education method for Geography in Vietnam?

Under section 7 of the General education program for Geography at the upper secondary level issued with Circular 32/2018/TT-BGDDT, specific provisions on the common orientation of the education method for Geography in Vietnam are as follows:

- Assess educational outcomes in Geography to provide accurate, prompt, and valuable information on the level of program requirements met and students' progress to guide learning activities.

- The basis for assessing students' educational outcomes includes the required qualities and competencies as stipulated in the overall program and Geography curriculum.

- Regarding assessment content, apart from assessing knowledge, enhancing the assessment of students' skills like working with maps, atlases, graphs, charts, data tables, pictures, observation, data collection, processing, and systematization of information, using outdoor learning tools, and applying technology and communication in learning is essential. Focus on assessing the ability to apply knowledge in specific situations.

- Diversify assessment forms, increase frequent assessment using various methods for all students. Combine teacher assessments with self-assessment and peer-assessment among students.

- Educational outcomes are assessed using both qualitative and quantitative methods through regular and periodic assessments, thereby aggregating the general results on students' qualities, competencies, and progress.
