About Geography and Environment MCQs
Many questions ask where rivers such as the Ganges, Brahmaputra and Teesta enter Bangladesh, where the Padma, Jamuna and Meghna meet, and which rivers form borders with India and Myanmar. Others cover the physiographic units, including the Madhupur Tract on which much of Dhaka stands, haors in the north-east and the hill tracts in the south-east. Questions on the border rivers, including the Naf near Teknaf, are also common.
Further questions cover seaports and land ports, divisions and districts, mineral resources such as the Barapukuria coal mine, Cox's Bazar beach, the Sundarbans mangrove forest shared with India, the six traditional seasons and environmental issues such as cross-border water sharing and the Farakka Barrage. Questions on the history of ports, such as Mongla's early years, and on river crossings such as the Jamuna Multipurpose Bridge also appear.
