Here are the answers to the questions:

  1. Define the term civilization. A civilization is a complex society characterized by features such as urban development, social stratification, a form of government, symbolic communication (like writing), and a perceived separation from and domination over the natural environment.

    • Extensive trade networks across the Indian Ocean
    • A unique language (Swahili) that is a blend of Bantu and Arabic
    • Islamic religion and culture
    • Distinctive architecture (e.g., coral stone houses, mosques)
    • A blend of African and Arab cultural influences

  4. Positive population growth is when the birth rate exceeds the death rate, leading to an increase in the total population over time.

  5. State 3 causes of population growth in Africa.

    • High birth rates due to cultural factors, lack of family planning, and early marriages.
    • Decreased death rates due to improved healthcare, sanitation, and access to food.

    • It fosters an understanding of diverse cultures, histories, and global issues.
    • It develops critical thinking skills, enabling individuals to analyze social problems and make informed decisions.

  9. The time in Kinshasa 20∘20^\circW is 9.00 am. What is the time in / (4 mks) Assuming the question asks for the time at the Prime Meridian (0∘0^\circ longitude):

  1. Determine the longitude difference.

    The difference in longitude between Kinshasa ($20^\circ$W) and the Prime Meridian ($0^\circ$) is:
$$
\text{Longitude difference} = 0^\circ - (-20^\circ) = 20^\circ
$$

  2. Convert the longitude difference to time difference.

    Since $15^\circ$ of longitude equals 1 hour:
$$
\text{Time difference} = \frac{20^\circ}{15^\circ/\text{hour}} = \frac{4}{3} \text{ hours}
$$
$$
\frac{4}{3} \text{ hours} = 1 \text{ hour and } \left(\frac{1}{3} \times 60\right) \text{ minutes} = 1 \text{ hour and } 20 \text{ minutes}
$$

  3. Calculate the time at the Prime Meridian.

    The Prime Meridian is to the east of Kinshasa, so the time will be later.
$$
\text{Time at Prime Meridian} = 9:00 \text{ am} + 1 \text{ hour } 20 \text{ minutes}
$$
$$
\text{Time at Prime Meridian} = 10:20 \text{ am}
$$

The time at the Prime Meridian ($0^\circ$ longitude) is $\boxed{\text{10:20 am}}$.
