10. Study the photograph below then answer the questions that follow

i. Name the main features found at the fore ground, middle ground and back ground

ii. Describe relief of the area

iii. Briefly explain how the landform at the back ground is formed

iv. Describe significance of natural feature found at the fore ground

ANSWERS:

The main feature at the fore ground is dam, at the middle ground is forest and at the back ground is hills

Relief of the photographed area is highland and low land. Highland area has hills at the background of the photograph, gentle slope is found at the middle ground occupied by forest and flat area at the foreground characterized by the presence of dam.

The landform at the back ground is formed as a result of uplifting of the earth’s crust caused by volcanic process whereby magma push overlying layer of rock to rise.

Significance of natural feature at the fore ground are

• It is source of water for wild animals like antelope

• It supplies water needed by vegetation for growth
