19. Plants need light, water, air and nutrients to grow. Plants lose water from their leaves by transpiration which
takes place faster in low-humidity environments. Also, the larger the surface area of the leaves, the faster
the plant loses water.

The green colour observed in plant leaves is due to the presence of chlorophyll. Dark-coloured leaves
contain greater amounts of chlorophyll and can collect energy from light more efficiently than
light-coloured leaves.

Plants that survive naturally in an environment have features suited to that environment.

In what type of natural environment are you most likely to find plants with large, dark green leaves?

(A) low light intensity and high humidity

(B) low light intensity and low humidity
(C) high light intensity and high humidity
(D) high light intensity and low humidity

 40. A geologist investigated the cross-section of a part of rock face, as shown. She described its geological
history as follows:

• Initially a shallow sea bed was formed by deposition of layers of limestone, conglomerate, sandstone
and shale.

• Then the area was uplifted above sea level and stretched which caused faulting (vertical cracking).
The fault broke the continuous layers into sections that slid along fault lines.

• The surface of the area was then eroded flat over the years.

• Finally a nearby volcano erupted, covering the area with a lava flow that formed a basalt layer.
