GEO FOR CXC
Welcome to Geo for CXC – The CXC Geography Guide! The science of Geography involves the study of the Earth, its features and its people.This educational website is designed to help you study Geography and prepare you for the CXC Geography Examination. The content on Geo for CXC is meant to support the CXC/CSEC Geographysyllabus.
AGRICULTURE IN THE CARIBBEAN According to the FAO, in many Caribbean countries, agriculture “contributes between 7 and 17 percent of GDP”. The graph below was taken from a document produced by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). It shows the percentage of GDP that agriculture is responsible for in many Caribbean countries. WHEAT FARMING IN CANADA Trends in Canadian Wheat Farming. Wheat farms are very large. Many are over 600 hectares in size. This is an extensive form of agriculture. The yield per hectare is low, however, farms are so large that farmers are able to make large profits. TOURISM - GEO FOR CXC Tourism. Tourism is the commercial organisation and operation of vacations and visits to places of interest.

Pollution is the introduction of harmful substances into the environment. These harmful substances are called pollutants. There are some natural pollutants. An erupting volcano, for instance, releases gases and ash into the environment. However, most pollution on our planet is caused by people. MAP SKILLS - GEO FOR CXC A map is a representation of a part of the earth or the heavens. There is much that we can learn about an area just by studying a map. All Geography students need to be familiar with maps. The first question on paper 2 of the CXC Geography examination will be based on a map which will be provided to you.TOURISM QUIZ
Cruise ships and hotels may pollute the environment. Coastal habitat is destroyed to build hotels. Tourists may damage the local environment. 9.

When sugarcane stalks are brought to the sugar factory, the juice is extracted by crushing them. The remains of the cane stalks, known as bagasse, can be used as raw material in making bagasse board or as fuel for the boilers.RELIEF AND CLIMATE
Relief and Climate. In Geography, the term relief may be defined as “the variations in elevation and slope of an area of the Earth’s surface”. When we speak of an area as being flat, gently sloping or mountainous, we are speaking of the relief of that area. When we speak of the elevation (height above sea level) of an area, we are also COASTAL FEATURES QUIZ 8. Linear deposits of material which are roughly parallel to the coast are known as: 9.

The remains of the cane stalks, known as bagasse, can be used as raw material in making bagasse board or as fuel for the boilers. SUGARCANE CULTIVATION IN GUYANA Sugarcane Cultivation in Guyana. Guyana is the largest sugar producer in the Caribbean Community. Sugarcane is grown in several areas near the coast. Temperatures are high all year round and the area receives about 2000 mm of rain each year. This is good as sugarcane requires high temperatures and at least 1500 mm of rain annually to thrive.BAUXITE IN JAMAICA
