Question 1
1 / -0

What doesnt get too hot or cold?

A
Land

B
Sea

C
Sand

D
Stone

Solution

Compared to land, the sea gets heated slowly and loses heat slowly. Land heats up and cools down quickly. Therefore, the variation in temperature over the sea is less as compared to land. That is why it doesn't get too hot or cold.
Question 2
1 / -0

Which state of India has the rainfall in winter season?

A
Uttar Pradesh

B
Bihar

C
Tamil Nadu

D
Madhya Pradesh

Solution

Tamil Nadu receives rainfall two times a year once in monsoon season and another in the winter season. It receives winter rainfall due to the northeast trade winds which pick up moisture from the Bay of Bengal and sheds in Tamil Nadu. And it receives monsoon rainfall due to the southwest trade winds which blow towards the northern hemisphere.
Question 3
1 / -0

Which of the following is the most important factor in soil formation?

A
Relief

B
Climate

C
Natural vegetation

D
Rock cover

Solution

Climate:
This is probably the most important factor that can shape the formation of soils. Two important climatic components, temperature and precipitation are key. They determine how quickly weathering will be, and what kind of organic materials may be available on and inside of the soils. Moisture determines the chemical and biological reactions that will occur as the soils are formed. Warmer climate with more rainfall means more vegetative cover and more animal action. It also means more runoff, more percolation and more water erosion. They all help to determine the kind of soils in an area.
Question 4
1 / -0

Raining in Mumbai is _____________.

A
Mostly in Summer

B
Mostly in Winter

C
Throughout the year evenly

D
Very rare

Solution

The rainfall in Mumbai, mostly occur in the month of June, July and August during the summer monsoon.
Therefore, the correct answer is option (A)
Question 5
1 / -0

A handful of soil was mixed in water and left in a jar for some time. Different components of soil got segregated and formed layers, as shown in the given figure.
Select the correct option regarding layers $$X, Y$$ and $$Z$$.

A
Soil sample having high amount of $$X$$ than $$Y$$ and $$Z$$ is best suited for maize cultivation

B
Soil sample having almost same amount of $$Y$$ and $$Z$$ and comparatively much less amount of $$X$$ has highest percolation rate and water absorbing capacity

C
Soil containing more amount of $$Z$$ and very little $$X$$ and $$Y$$ is prominent in areas where Kangaroo rat and Acacia are commonly found

D
The space between particles is very large in $$X$$ however particles are small sized and compactly arranged in $$Y$$ and $$Z$$

Solution

In given figure, $$X$$ shows clay, $$Y$$ is slit and $$Z$$ is sand. Soil sample having high amount of $$X$$ has small sized compactly arranged particles, which hold large amount of water and it is not good for growing plants as water logging damage the crops. Soil having more $$Y$$ and $$Z$$, than $$X$$ have poor water absorbing capacity. Soil rich in large sized sand particles $$Z$$ is found in deserts. Soil $$Z$$ has large sand particles and space is filled with air.
Question 6
1 / -0

For short-term climatic predictions, which one of the following events, detected in the last decade, is associated with occasional weak monsoon rains in the Indian subcontinent?

A
La Nina

B
Movement of jet streams

C
El Nino and southern oscillations

D
Green-house effect on global level

Solution

For short-term climatic predictions, El Nino and southern oscillations, detected in the last decade, is associated with occasional weak monsoon rains in the Indian subcontinent. El Niño and the Southern Oscillation, also known as ENSO is a periodic fluctuation in sea surface temperature (El Niño) and the air pressure of the overlying atmosphere (Southern Oscillation) across the equatorial Pacific Ocean.
Question 7
1 / -0

Cultivation of Groundnuts requires _____________.

A
Moist Climate

B
Much rain

C
Hot climate

D
None of these

Solution

Temperature is the major factor that describes the crop development. Temperature above 35 degrees C prevent the growth of groundnut crop. The best temperature for groundnut crop is 30 degrees C. The growth ceases at 15 degrees C. The best temperature for groundnut crop is 21 degrees C.
From the above information, it is clear that the groundnut crop need a hot climate.
Therefore the correct answer is option C.
Question 8
1 / -0

The climate of India is mainly tropical because ________.

A
of the location of the Himalayas in its North

B
major part of India lies within the tropics

C
of the overpowering influence of India Ocean

D
of the seasonal influence of jet streams

Solution

The climate of India is mainly tropical because of the location of the Himalayas in its North. India is home to an extraordinary variety of climatic regions, ranging from tropical in the south to temperate and alpine in the Himalayan north, where elevated regions receive sustained winter snowfall. The nation's climate is strongly influenced by the Himalayas and the Thar Desert.
Question 9
1 / -0

The extreme of temperature between summer and winter is quite low in the southern part of Peninsular India mainly because _________.

A
the adjoining oceans moderate the temperature

B
the sky is generally cloudy

C
the sun's rays are almost vertical throughout the year

D
strong winds flow throughout the year

Solution

The extreme temperature between summer and winter is quite low in the southern part of Peninsular India mainly because the adjoining oceans moderate the temperature.
Question 10
1 / -0

The average annual temperature of a meteorological station is $$26^o$$C, its average annual rainfall is $$63$$ cm and the annual range of temperature is $$9^o$$C. The station in question is _____________.

A
Allahabad

B
Chennai

C
Cherapunji

D
Kolkata

Solution

The average annual temperature of a meteorological station is 26°C, its average annual rainfall is 63 cm and the annual range temperature is 9°C. The station is Chennai.
