WAEC GCE Geography Practical Past Questions & Answers (2020–2025)

1. Map Work and Field Survey

Example Question 2020: Draw a contour map of a specified area and label key features.

Answer:

• Plot survey points accurately using provided elevations.

• Join points of equal elevation to form smooth contour lines.

• Identify and label physical features: rivers, hills, valleys, and slopes.

• Indicate slope direction and relief using arrows or shading where necessary.

Example Question 2021: Measure the gradient of a slope.

Answer:

• Select two points at a known horizontal distance along the slope.

• Measure the difference in elevation between the points.

• Calculate gradient using: Gradient = Vertical Height / Horizontal Distance.

• Compare gradients across multiple points for analysis.

2. Soil and Vegetation Studies

Example Question 2022: Determine soil texture using field tests.

Answer:

• Collect soil samples from standard depths across different locations.

• Perform the ribbon test to classify soil as clay, silt, or sand.

• Conduct the jar test to observe settling rates of soil particles.

• Record and conclude the soil texture for each sample.

Example Question 2023: Identify vegetation types and dominant species.

Answer:

• Carry out a transect survey of the area.

• Identify all plant species along the transect and note dominant types.

• Record vegetation density and height classes.

• Classify vegetation type (e.g., savannah, forest, grassland) based on observations.

3. Weather and Climate Studies

Example Question 2024: Measure temperature and humidity at different times of the day.

Answer:

• Measure air temperature using a thermometer at standard height.

• Use a hygrometer to determine relative humidity.

• Take readings in the morning, at noon, and in the evening.

• Compare readings to determine daily variations and patterns.

Example Question 2025: Determine wind speed and direction.

Answer:

• Place a cup anemometer in an open area free from obstacles.

• Record wind speed over a set period.

• Use a wind vane to determine wind direction.

• Record and analyze the data to identify dominant wind patterns in the area.

4. Practical Tips for Success

• Always ensure accurate measurements using the right instruments.

• Label all diagrams and maps clearly to avoid losing marks.

• For soil and vegetation studies, take multiple readings to increase reliability.

• Maintain a consistent schedule for weather observations.

• Practice data analysis and interpretation, as WAEC often tests understanding of results.
