Tajikistan Grade 10 (Sinfi 10) Curriculum - Geography

Based on the Aga Khan University Examination Board (AKU-EB) Higher Secondary School Certificate (HSSC) Geography syllabus (which is based on the 2006 National Curriculum and may provide an approximation of the Grade 10 curriculum), the following topics are likely covered:

Part I (Approximation of Grade 10 Content)

• Understanding Geography: This section introduces the field of geography, its scope, branches, and relationship with other sciences. Students learn about map essentials, types of maps (topographic, geologic, bio-geographic, environmental, physiographic), and globe reading (longitude, latitude, equator, tropics). Practical skills include using topographic maps, finding directions (with and without a compass), understanding time zones, and working with scales.
• Rocks and Soils: This section covers the types of rocks (igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic), rock formation processes, weathering (physical and chemical), mass movement (soil creep, mudflows, landslides), soil formation, soil erosion, and soil management. Practical skills include identifying rock types.
• The Earth's Structure: This section explores the Earth's position in the solar system, its shape and size, internal structure (layers), tectonic activity (earthquakes, volcanic eruptions), folding (fold mountains), and faulting (block mountains, rift valleys).
• The World of Water: This section covers drainage basins, drainage density, drainage basin systems, river discharge, river processes, load transportation, river erosion, deposition, and river landforms (v-shaped valleys, waterfalls, meanders, floodplains, deltas). It also includes glacial systems, glacial erosion, glacial landforms, glacial transportation and deposition, coasts, coastal erosion, and coastal landforms.
• The Atmosphere: This section explores the composition of the atmosphere, atmospheric pressure, warming of the atmosphere (radiant energy, greenhouse effect), moving air (warm and cold air density), and the moving atmosphere (Coriolis effect).
• Physical Environment and Man: This section examines the impact of the physical environment on human life and activities (farming, mining, fishing, hunting, gathering, trading). It also covers the classification of human commercial activities (primary, secondary, tertiary) and environmental conservation.

It is important to note: This information is based on the AKU-EB HSSC syllabus, which is an approximation of the Tajikistan Grade 10 Geography curriculum. The actual Grade 10 curriculum may differ. Further research is recommended to confirm the specific topics and learning outcomes for Grade 10.
