Question 1 of 10
1. Question

Consider the following statements with respect to Bomb Cyclones –
1. It occurs when a cold air mass collides with a warm air mass, such as air over warm
ocean waters.
2. A storm is considered a ―bomb when the pressure drops rapidly at least 24 millibars
in 24 hours.
Which of the statement(s) is/are correct?
Correct
Ans c
Bombogenesis, a popular term used by meteorologists, occurs when a mid-latitude cyclone
rapidly intensifies, dropping at least 24 millibars over 24 hours.
A millibar measures atmospheric pressure.
This can happen when a cold air mass collides with a warm air mass, such as air over warm
ocean waters.
The formation of this rapidly strengthening weather system is a process called
bombogenesis, which creates what is known as a bomb cyclone.

Question 3 of 10
3. Question

Consider the statements.
1. The process in which sedimentary fragments becomes compact to form rocks in
called lithification.
2. The process of metamorphism in which rocks, grains or minerals get arranged in
layers is called foliation.
3. The arrangement of different minerals into alternating thin to thick layers is called
banding
Which if the above statement/s is/are incorrect?
Correct
Ans d
Lithification is the process in which sediments compact under pressure, expel connate
fluids, and gradually become solid rock.
Foliation in geology refers to repetitive layering in metamorphic rocks. Each layer may be as
thin as a sheet of paper or over a meter in thickness.
The word comes from the Latin folium, meaning “leaf,” and refers to the sheet-like planar
structure
The arrangement of different minerals into alternating thin to thick layers is called banding.

The theory of plate tectonics proposes that the earth’s lithosphere is divided into
seven major and some minor plates and young Fold Mountain ridges, trenches, or faults
surround these major plates. Match the following plates with its boundaries.
1. Cocos plate: Between Central America and Pacific plate.
2. Nazca plate: Between South America and Pacific plate.
3. Caroline plate: Between the Philippine and Indian plate.
4. Philippine plate: Between the Asiatic and Pacific plate.
Correct
Ans d
A tectonic plate (also called lithospheric plate) is a massive, irregularly-shaped slab of solid
rock, generally composed of both continental and oceanic lithosphere. Plates move
horizontally over the asthenosphere as rigid units.
(i) Cocos plate: Between Central America and Pacific plate
(ii) Nazca plate: Between South America and Pacific plate
(iii) Arabian plate: Mostly the Saudi Arabian landmass
(iv) Philippine plate: Between the Asiatic and Pacific plate
(v) Caroline plate: Between the Philippine and Indian plate (North of New Guinea)
(vi) Fuji plate : North-east of Australia.

Consider the following statements in the context of an aftermath of an earthquake:
1. While body waves travel through the interior of the Earth, the surface waves travel
across the surface of the earth.
2. Surface waves decay faster with distance than do body waves and body waves travel
in three dimensions.
3. Particle motion of surface waves is larger than that of body waves and surface waves
tend to cause more damage
Which of the above statements are correct?
Correct
Ans c
Among the many types of seismic waves, one can make a broad distinction between body
waves and surface waves.
Body waves travel through the interior of the Earth, surface waves travel across the surface
and surface waves decay more slowly with distance than do body waves, which travel in
three dimensions.
Particle motion of surface waves is larger than that of body waves, so surface waves tend to
cause more damage.
