Question 1 of 10
1. Question
2 points
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.
Which of the above are correctly matched?
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.

Question 2 of 10
2. Question

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.

Which of the following statements is/are correct about the Gondwana rocks?
1. These rocks are found in Kashmir, Darjeeling and Sikkim.
2. Economically, the Gondwana rocks are the most important in India, containing about
98% of her coal reserves.
Select the correct answer using the code given below:
Correct
Ans c
The Gondwana rocks consist of sandstones with some shales and clays. They are of
continental origin, fluviate and lacustrine deposits.
The main areas of the Gondwana rocks in the Peninsula are along the Damodar valley in
Jharkhand, along the Mahanadi River valley in Chhattisgarh and Odisha, in the southern
parts of Madhya Pradesh and a series of troughs along the Godavari from Nagpur to the
deltas.

Question 5 of 10
5. Question
2 points
Which of the following influence the ocean currents?
1. Wind
2. Earth’s gravitational pull
3. Coriolis Force
4. Temperature
5. Salinity
Choose the correct code:
Correct
Ans c
An ocean current is a continuous, directed movement of seawater generated by the forces
acting upon this flow, such as breaking waves, wind, Coriolis effects, cabbeling, temperature
and salinity differences, tides caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun.
Cabbeling is when two separate water parcels mix to form a third which sinks below both
parents.
The combined water parcel is denser than the original two water parcels.
The two parent water parcels may have the same density, but they have different
properties: for instance, different salinities and temperatures.
