    Which one of the following rivers is NOT a tributary of river Cauvery?
    Solution
    The Cauvery basin extends over states of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala and Union Territory of Puducherry. The Cauvery River is one of the major rivers of the peninsula.  Its important tributaries joining from left are the Harangi, the Hemavati, the Shimsha and the Arkavati whereas the Lakshmantirtha, the Kabbani, the Suvarnavati, the Bhavani, the Noyil and the Amaravati joins from right. The river drains into the Bay of Bengal. The Indravati River is a tributary of the Godavari River.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    In India, maximum amount of rainfall is received from _____.
    Solution
    In India , the maximum amount of rainfall is received from the South West Monsoon winds during the period of June to September. The North east winds brings some rainfall to the Southern state of Tamil Nadu and nearby areas during winter as the monsoon retreats.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Consider the following statements regarding the Ozone layer and its formation.
    $$1$$. The upper part of the earth's atmosphere, between $$10$$ and $$50$$ km above the earth surface called stratosphere contains a thin layer of ozone.
    $$2$$. This ozone layer serves as a natural filter for blocking incoming ultra violet radiation from the sun.
    Which of the statements given is/are correct?
    Solution
    The stratosphere continues from 10 km to about 50 km. Most atmospheric ozone is concentrated in a layer in the stratosphere, about 15-30 kilometers above the Earth's surface. This ozone layer in the Earth’s stratosphere absorbs most of the Sun’s ultraviolet (UV) radiation that may cause skin cancer. Stratospheric Ozone is not harmful, but its presence on land is harmful.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Consider the following statements about Green House Effect and Global Warming.
    $$1$$. The temperature surrounding the Earth has been rising during the recent past is due to the 'Green-house effect'.
    $$2$$. A green house is a glass chamber in which plants are grown to provide them warmth by trapping sun light.
    $$3$$. The phenomenon of heat build-up inside a glass chamber from the absorption of solar radiation is called greenhouse effect.
    Which of the statements given is/are correct?
    Solution
    Greenhouse gases (GHGs) are a group of gases that are able to absorb heat in the atmosphere keeping the earth’s surface warm. This ability of gases to trap heat in thermal form and spread evenly at earth’s surface is known as Greenhouse effect. A green house is a glass chamber in which plants are grown to provide them warmth by trapping sun light. The presence of these GHGs in excess enhances the Greenhouse effect which is creating global warming and consequently climate change. 
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Which one of the following is NOT a tributary of Indus River?
    Solution
    Major Tributaries of Indus River are:
    1) Jhelum River
    2) Chenab River
    3) Ravi River
    4) Beas River
    5) Satluj River
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Which of the following are incorrect?
    $$1$$. Mangroves are salt tolerant forest ecosystems found mainly in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world.
    $$2$$. Mangrove plants cans survive high salinity, tidal extremes, strong wind velocity, highs temperature and Muddy aerobic soil.
    Select the correct answer using the code given below.
    Solution
    Mangroves are salt tolerant forest ecosystems found mainly in the tropical and sub-tropical intertidal regions of the world. They encompass swamps, forest-land within, and the surrounding water bodies. It is a matter of great surprise that mangrove floral species can thrive luxuriantly in saline habitat (which is basically physiologically dry in nature) through orientation of their morphological, anatomical and physiological systems. Thus this vegetation is the most efficiently adapted biotic community in response to climate change induced sea level rise.

    The mangroves exist under very hostile and inhospitable condition, as they have to encounter extreme salinities, tides, wind velocities, temperature and muddy anaerobic soils. They are highly adapted to coastal environment by having breathing roots, supporting roots, salt-excreting leaves and viviparous,
    water-dispersed propagules. The muddy soil is not aerobic in nature.

    So the correct option is '2 only'.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Consider the following statements:
    $$1$$. United nations summit, held in Rio de Janeiro resulted in the creation of United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
    $$2$$. The parties to the convention have met annually from $$1995$$ in Conferences of the Parties (COP) to assess progress in dealing with climate change.
    $$3$$. The first COP (COP $$1$$) was held in Kyoto.
    Which of the given statements are true?
    Solution
    United Nation Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is an international environment treaty opened for signature in 1992 during the Rio Summit. It came into force from 1994. The Conference of the Parties (COP) is the supreme governing body of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Heads of state and other delegates from UN member countries attend the conference. The first COP meeting was held in Berlin, Germany in March, 1995.
