  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Large movements of ocean water from places of warm temperature to low temperature or vice versa are ______________.
    Solution
    The Ocean currents are developed from the forces working on the water like the earth's  movement, the wind, the temperature and the gravitational pull of the moon.
    The Ocean currents are like conveyor belt of cold and warm water. It helps sending warm water to Polar regions and cold to Tropical regions.
    Therefore the correct answer is option B.


  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Neap tides are produced in the first and third quarters of the moon. Then _______.
    Solution
    Neap tides are produced in the first and third quarters of the moon. Then the attractions of the Sun and the Moon are at right angles to each other.
    Neap Tides
    During the moon's quarter phases the sun and moon work at right angles, causing the bulges to cancel each other. The result is a smaller difference between high and low tides and is known as a neap tide. Neap tides are weak tides.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Which of the following is not likely to cause Tsunami?
    Solution
    • A tsunami is a long high sea wave caused by an earthquake or other disturbances. 
    • It has nothing to do with lightning. 
    • Lightning is a sudden electrostatic discharge that is seen in the sky and it doesn't result in Tsunami. 
    • It doesn't cause any vibrations on Earth's surface or sea.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Which of the following is cold ocean current?
    Solution
    Gulf Stream is a warm water current in the Atlantic ocean. It arises from the Gulf of Mexico. Kuro Shio is also a warm water current also known as Japan Current. It occurs on the west side of the North Pacific Ocean. Labrador is the cold water current found in the North Atlantic Ocean.
    Thus the correct answer is option A.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    The vertical difference between high tide and low tide is _______.
    Solution
    The vertical difference between high tide and low tide is Tidal range.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Precipitation and groundwater are sources of _________.
    Solution
    Fresh water is vital to life and yet it is a finite resource. Of all the water on Earth, just 3% is fresh water. Fresh water is found in glaciers, lakes, reservoirs, ponds, rivers,preciptation, streams, wetlands and even groundwater. 
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    The world's largest drainage basin is of the _______.
    Solution
    The river drainage basin is the area used up by a river and its all tributaries. The largest river basin is the River Amazon which is situated in South America. The Amazon River and all its tributaries comprise of more than 7 million square kilometers.
    Thus the correct answer is option C.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    The average salinity of the ocean water is ________.
    Solution
    The salinity of the ocean water simply means the presence of dissolved salts in the seawater. The average salinity of seawater is 35 ppt. A simple way to determine the amount of salinity in seawater is to evaporate one kilogram of seawater and finally to weight the residue in grams.  
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    On new moon and full moon days _______ occurs.
    Solution

    When the moon is full or new, the gravitational pull of the moon and sun are combined. At these times, the high tides are very high and the low tides are very low. This is known as a spring high tide. Spring tides are especially strong tides (they do not have anything to do with the season Spring). They occur when the Earth, the Sun, and the Moon are in a line. The gravitational forces of the Moon and the Sun both contribute to the tides. Spring tides occur during the full moon and the new moon.

  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    The rise and fall of the sea-water at the surface at constant intervals is known as __________.
    Solution
    Tides can be defined as the periodic rise and fall of seawater due to the gravitational pull of the Moon and Sun. It occurs every 12 hours. The inflow and outflow of water at a given place is the waves of tides.
    Therefore the answer is option B.
