C
Nabulae

D

Question 6
1 / -0

Consider the following surface winds:
1. Doldrums
2. Trade winds
3. Westerlies
4. Polar winds
Which one among the following is the idealized global pattern of these winds from the Equator to the Pole?

A
1-2-3-4

B
1-5-2-4

C
2- 1 -4-3

D
3-1-2-4
Solution
The order of the winds from the Equator to the Pole is Doldrums - Trade winds - Westerlies - Polar winds.
Trade winds are the persistent wind that blows westward and toward the Equator from the subtropical high-pressure belts toward the intertropical convergence zone.
Doldrums are equatorial regions of light ocean currents and winds within the intertropical convergence zone.
Westerlies are prevailing winds from the west toward the east in the middle latitudes between 30 and 60 degrees latitude.
Polar winds are the dry, cold prevailing winds that blow from the high-pressure areas of Polar winds the polar highs at the North and South Poles towards low-pressure areas within the Westerlies at high latitudes.
Question 7
1 / -0

You are to examine these two statements carefully and select the answers to these items:
Statement I: Chemical weathering processes are found more active in hot and humid environment.
Statement II: High temperature and rainfall help in the process of decomposition of rocks.

A
Both the statements are individually true and Statement II is the correct explanation of Statement I

B
Both the statements are individually true but Statement II is not the correct explanation of Statement I

C
Statement I is true but Statement II is false

D
Statement I is false but Statement II is true

Solution

Chemical weathering pertains to the changes in rock structure under the action or influence of chemical reactions. It is most active in warm and humid conditions. When rain falls, the water is slightly acidic because carbon dioxide from the air dissolves in it. Minerals in rocks may react with the rainwater, causing the rock to be weathered.
Question 8
1 / -0

You are to examine these two statements carefully and select the answers to these items:
Statement I: Minerals are formed by slow cooling of the magma.
Statement II: Very small crystals are formed when lava cools quickly on the surface.

A
Both the statements are individually true and Statement II is the correct explanation of Statement I

B
Both the statements are individually true but Statement II is not the correct explanation of Statement I

C
Statement I is true but Statement II is false

D
Statement I is false but Statement II is true

Solution

Lava is on the surface so it cools quickly and forms rocks whch are called mineral rocks. Because the magma cools and solidifies quickly, the crystals that form do not have time to grow very large, and therefore most extrusive rocks are finely grained. The most common type of extrusive rock is basalt.

A
Vaigai

B
Kaveri
