Question 1
1 / -0

Continental shelf is ___________.

A
A part of oceanic crust made of granite

B
A part of continental crust made of basalt

C
A part of oceanic crust made of basalt

D
A part of continental crust made of granite

Solution

The continental shelf with depth up to 200 mts occupies about 7.6% of the ocean area. It is the border zone between land and sea. This part is a continental crust made of granite.
Question 2
1 / -0

Consider the following statements:
I. Ocean currents are large mass of surface water, that circulate in regular patterns around the oceans.
II. The planetary winds are probably the dominant influence on the flow of ocean currents.
III. The water of high salinity are denser than the water of low salinity.
IV. A land mass always obstructs and diverts an ocean current.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

A
All of these

B
I, II and III

C
I and III

D
Only II
Question 3
1 / -0

Surface currents in the ocean are primarily caused by ___________.

A
temperature differences

B
density differences

C
wind action

D
coriolis effect

Solution

Surface ocean currents are primarily caused by the wind. These currents can flow for thousands of kilometers, and also play a significant role in preserving the climate of the various Continents.

B
High mountain stretch along the continental margins adjacent to this ocean

C
These margins coincide with the plate margins

D
The currents of the vast Pacific Ocean continue to dash against the continental margins

1 / -0

Which of the following currents is located near the coastline of Philippines and China?

A
Oyashio current

B
Kuroshio current

C
Canary current

D
Benguela current

A
gets concentrated in the inner bank of the turn, making it-denser

B
effectively bounces off the outer bank as it turns exerting an extra pressure on the bank

C
flows faster as it turns

D
reacts more effectively with the bank at a turn
