Which characteristic of megalopolis descrtbes its tendency to develop a multi-nuclei or multi-nodal spatial pattern?
- A.
Is an expansive urban region with over 10 million population (Giles Clarke)
- B.
Tends to be dependent on food, water, and energy supplies of its neighboring regions
- C.
Has complex form as 'mother city' breeds smaller offspring-cities in sprawling manner
- D.
Requires broad type of regional governance beyond the capacity and resources of a single LGU authority
Correct Answer
C. Has complex form as 'mother city' breeds smaller offspring-cities in sprawling mannerExplanation
The characteristic of megalopolis that describes its tendency to develop a multi-nuclei or multi-nodal spatial pattern is that it has a complex form as the 'mother city' breeds smaller offspring-cities in a sprawling manner. This means that the megalopolis consists of a central city that gives rise to several smaller cities or nodes that are interconnected and spread out across the region. This pattern of development allows for the distribution of population, resources, and economic activities throughout the megalopolis, creating a decentralized and interconnected urban network.Rate this question:

- A.
Must be large enough to take investment decisions of an economic size
- B.
Must be able to supply its own industries with necessary labor
- C.

"High-growth regions with expanding economic activity will attract net migration from other parts of the country, thus favoring them further. Capital investments tend to have a similar effect: increased demand in expanding centers spur additional investments, which in turn will increase incomes and demand or cause a further round of investments."
- A.
Cumulative Causation
- B.
Positive Reinforcement
- C.
Economic Modernization
- D.
Circuits of Capital
Correct Answer
A. Cumulative CausationExplanation
The given passage describes a situation where high-growth regions with expanding economic activity attract net migration and capital investments. This creates a cycle of positive reinforcement, where the initial growth leads to increased demand and further investments, which in turn increase incomes and demand or cause another round of investments. This concept of a self-reinforcing cycle is known as cumulative causation, which best explains the scenario described in the passage.Rate this question:

- A.
Cascade

Correct Answer
D. It shows polarization within a country and siphoning off of economic assets and human talent from hinterlandExplanation
The phenomenon of 'urban primacy' refers to a situation where a single metropolis in a Third World country attracts a significant portion of the country's population, resources, and investments. This concentration of power and resources can lead to polarization within the country, with the metropolis benefiting at the expense of the hinterland. Economic assets and human talent are often drawn away from the less developed areas, exacerbating inequalities and hindering overall development. This phenomenon is sometimes referred to as "Manila imperialism" in the Philippines, highlighting the historical and political factors that contribute to urban primacy.Rate this question:

- A.
"specialized"
- B.
"ancillary"
- C.

- A.
7 km
- B.
10 km
- C.
15 km

Under RA 8550 Fisheries Code of 1998, if the total width of water body between two seaside municipalities is less than 30 km, each one's municipal waters is determined by using
- A.
Comparative sizes of fishing population
- B.
A median line on common water body
- C.
Preponderance of maritime and aquatic activities

Philippines is one of 18 mega-diverse countries which together contain two-thirds of the world's biodiversity. Philippines has over 30% of Southeast Asia's coral reef cover, a square kilometer of which can produce between 30 to 40 metric tons of seafood annually. Which area is considered among the most serious hotspots in rapid coral reef destruction?
- A.
Sulu
- B.
Boracay
- C.
Palawan
- D.
Mindoro
Correct Answer
A. SuluExplanation
The Sulu area is considered among the most serious hotspots in rapid coral reef destruction. This is because the Sulu Sea, located in the Sulu area, has experienced extensive coral reef degradation due to various factors such as overfishing, destructive fishing practices, pollution, and climate change. These factors have led to a significant decline in the health and biodiversity of the coral reefs in the Sulu area, making it one of the most threatened regions for coral reef destruction.Rate this question:

According to 1997 study on 775 coral formations by Dr Edgardo Gomez, Dr Helen Yap of UP Marine Science Institute, 30% of total Philippine coral reef cover is dead, 39% dying, 25% in fair condition, how much remains in excellent condition?
- A.
approximately 5%
- B.
Approx. 8%
- C.
Approx. 26%
- D.
Approx. 31 %
Correct Answer
A. approximately 5%Explanation
According to the information provided in the study, 30% of the coral reef cover is dead, 39% is dying, and 25% is in fair condition. The remaining percentage, which is not mentioned in the question, would be the percentage in excellent condition. Since the sum of the percentages mentioned is 94%, the percentage remaining in excellent condition would be approximately 6%. Therefore, the given answer of approximately 5% is the closest option.Rate this question:

The following are illegal and destructive forms of fishing in Philippine marine waters, except one.
- A.
Use of crude, traditional, or artisanal gadgets
- B.
use of dynamites and other explosives
- C.
Use of fine mesh nets
- D.
Muro-ami
- E.
Use of cyanide on reef-based or pelagic species
- F.
Use of beach seine and bottom-scouring trawls
Correct Answer
A. Use of crude, traditional, or artisanal gadgetsExplanation
The use of crude, traditional, or artisanal gadgets is not considered illegal or destructive forms of fishing in Philippine marine waters. These methods may refer to traditional fishing practices that have been used by local communities for generations. While they may not be as efficient or sustainable as modern fishing techniques, they are not explicitly prohibited or harmful to the marine ecosystem. On the other hand, the other options listed, such as the use of dynamites and other explosives, fine mesh nets, muro-ami, cyanide, beach seine, and bottom-scouring trawls, are all recognized as illegal and destructive fishing methods that can cause significant damage to marine habitats and species populations.Rate this question:

Wilson (1992) estimated that 90% habitat loss of an area results in 50% reduction of number of species Under RA 9174 "Wildlife Resources Conservation & Protection Act", a species or sub-species that faces high risk of extinction in the immediate future is called
- A.
Acutely Threatened Species
- B.
Critically Endangered Species
- C.
Species Vulnerable to Extinction
- D.
Rapidly Vanishing Species
Correct Answer
B. Critically Endangered SpeciesExplanation
Wilson (1992) estimated that 90% habitat loss of an area results in a 50% reduction in the number of species. This suggests that when a species or sub-species faces a high risk of extinction in the immediate future, it can be classified as "Critically Endangered." This term reflects the severe threat to the survival of the species due to factors such as habitat loss. Therefore, the correct answer is "Critically Endangered Species."Rate this question:

Because land use changes affect a species' ability to migrate, __ are necessary to give species a route to reach their new habitats.
- A.
Science Reserves & Ranches
- B.
Zoos & Botanical Gardens
- C.
Lifelines
- D.
Wildlife Corridors
Correct Answer
D. Wildlife CorridorsExplanation
Land use changes, such as urbanization or deforestation, can disrupt the natural habitats of species and hinder their ability to migrate to new areas. Wildlife corridors are necessary to provide a safe and connected route for species to reach their new habitats. These corridors are typically strips of land that connect fragmented habitats, allowing animals to move between different areas without facing barriers or obstacles. By establishing wildlife corridors, we can help preserve biodiversity and promote the survival of various species.Rate this question:
