The document is a geography exam for Form 3 Term III students at St. Kevin's College. It contains 25 multiple choice questions testing students' knowledge of drainage patterns, the water cycle, river landforms and processes, and watershed shapes in the Caribbean. Key topics covered include identifying parts of the drainage basin and water cycle diagrams, defining drainage pattern types, explaining river erosion and deposition processes, and understanding how landforms vary along a river's course.
