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
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

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
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.

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
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.

Consider the following statements: –
1. There is less amount of water vapour in low latitudes than in high latitudes.
2. The rate of evaporation is highest in hot, dry and windy condition.
3. The capacity to hold moisture reduces with increase in temperature.
4. The temperature at which air gets saturated is called Dew Point.
Which of the above statements are not correct?
Correct
The amount of water vapor is more in low latitudes than in high latitudes.
The capacity to hold moisture increases with increase in temperature.

Correct
At the heart of the dispute between the China and Japan are eight uninhabited islands and rocks in the East China Sea.
The Japanese call them Senkaku, and designate them as sovereign territory.
On the contrary, China also claimed these islands and named them as Diaoyu Islands.

Question 9 of 10
9. Question
2 points
Consider the following statements:
1. Relief rainfall is accompanied with lightning and thunder.
2. Convectional rainfall occurs in regions having continental type of climate.
3. More rainfall in coastal regions of Kerala than in central Tamilnadu is an example of frontal rainfall.
Which of the statements is/are incorrect?
Correct
Statement 1 is incorrect: Convectional rainfall is accompanied with lightning and thunder.
Statement 3 is incorrect More rainfall in coastal regions of Kerala than in central Tamilnadu is an example of relief rainfall.
Convectional rainfall:
When the land surface is heated, light air in its contact rises up and convectional currents are produced. When this warm and moist air reaches up to a certain height, it becomes saturated and forms dark Cumulo-Nimbus clouds, which cause heavy rainfall. This rainfall is accompanied with lightning and thunder.

Consider the following statements regarding the interior of the earth:
1. Nickel and iron are the main mineral constituents of the earth’s crust.
2. Asthenosphere is a mechanically weak zone of molten rock in the upper mantle of Earth.
3. The core is made up of material mostly constituted by silica and alumina.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
The earth is made up of several concentric layers.The outer layer is the earth’s crust — which comprises two distinct parts.
The upper part consists of granitic rocks and forms the continents.
Its main mineral constituents are silica and alumina, so it is collectively referred to as the SiAl.
