    The water of which of the following seas is most saline?
    Solution

    With 33.7% salinity, the Dead Sea is one of the world's saltiest bodies of water. The Dead Sea is landlocked and in the lowest valley on earth. All the minerals of the surrounding countryside get washed into one pool, which in turn gets baked by the sun. This concentrates the salts so much that the Dead Sea is 10 times as salty as the ocean.

    A terrarium is like an aquarium, but for plants instead of fish. 

    It is made in just about any glass container. It is planted to look like a miniature garden or forest enclosed in its own little world.

    Thus it is a habitat suitable for plant-growing and hence, option D is the correct answer.

    The Nile is the longest river in the world. It merges in the Mediterranean sea.
    The Mississippi River is the second-longest river of the North American continent. 
    Thus the correct answer is option D.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Consider the following statements :
    1. The Labrador current is a cold current in the North Atlantic Ocean.
    2. The Falkland current is a warm current that flows along the Chile coast of South Pacific Ocean. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
    Solution
    We know, that the Falkland current is a cold current. It flows along the Argentina's coast in South Atlantic Ocean. Hence statement 2 is incorrect. So, either option A or option D is correct.

    Let us look at Statement 1, we know that, he Labrador Current is a cold current in the North Atlantic Ocean which flows from the Arctic Ocean south along the coast of Labrador and passes around Newfoundland, continuing south along the east coast of Canada near Nova Scotia.

    Since statement 1 is correct and Statement 2 is incorrect, in that case, option B, C and D invalid.

    And hence, therefore option A is the correct answer.

  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Choose the odd one out.
    Solution

    All stream currents are westerly bound currents while California currents are easterly bound currents

    Brazil current is the western boundary current of the South Atlantic subtropical gyre. It transports warm water polewards. Near 22 S, the Brazil current splits; one component flows eastward and the other component hugs the coast and flows toward the southwest and interacts with the colder Malvinas Current.

    The Gulf Stream, together with its northern extension the North Atlantic Drift is a warm and swift Atlantic ocean current that originates in the Gulf of Mexico and stretches to the tip of Florida, and follows the eastern coastlines of the United States 

    The Kuroshio is a north-flowing ocean current on the west side of the North Pacific Ocean. It is similar to the Gulf Stream in the North Atlantic and is part of the North Pacific ocean gyre. As the Gulf stream, it is a strong western boundary current.

    California Current is a Pacific Ocean current that moves southward along the western coast of North America, beginning off southern British Columbia and ending off southern Baja California Peninsula. It is considered an Eastern boundary current due to the influence of the North American coastline on its course.

  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    What would happen to ocean water if the moon comes nearer to the earth? 
    Solution
    The oceanic tides are caused due to tide-producing forces of the sun and the moon. According to the famous law of gravitation enunciation by Newton, the moon, as well as the sun, attract earth crust and water of the ocean. So if the moon comes near to the earth it will increase the height of oceanic tides. As the earth is solid and the oceans have water, the water will rise many meters due to their attraction.
