The heavier silicates named 'Sima' or silica + magnesium are most aboundant in the __________.

geography the properties of sea water properties of sea water oceanic salinity and oceanic temperature oceans : temperature, salinity and density circulation of ocean water

  1. Crust

  2. Core

  3. Mantle

  4. Ocean floors

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The heavier silicates named 'Sima' or silica + magnesium are most aboundant in the ocean floor.

These are a mix of minerals like gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc, and rare earth metals like molybdenum, tellurium, and titanium that form along the ocean floor—near underwater volcanic vents. Finally, there are cobalt-rich ferromanganese (Fe-Mn) crusts that form a layer of the ocean floor.

The ocean bottom relief are made due to the __________ interactions.

  1. Volcanic

  2. Erosional

The movements in the ocean water is/are ___________.

geography the properties of sea water properties of sea water oceanic salinity and oceanic temperature oceans : temperature, salinity and density circulation of ocean water

  1. Tides

  2. Waves

  3. Ocean currents

  4. All of these

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Ocean water is constantly in motion: north-south, east-west, alongshore, and vertically. Seawater motions are the result of waves, tides, and currents. Ocean movements are the consequence of many separate factors: wind, tides, Coriolis effect, water density differences, and the shape of the ocean basins.

The oceans are important because _________________.

geography the properties of sea water properties of sea water oceanic salinity and oceanic temperature oceans : temperature, salinity and density circulation of ocean water

  1. They are storehouse of water vapours

  2. Water is available for agriculture

  3. They moderate the climate of coastal regions

  4. None of these

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The oceans absorb heat near the equator and then transport that solar energy to polar regions. The oceans also moderate the climate within a region. Along with coastal areas, summer temperatures are not as hot, and winter temperatures are not as cold, because water takes a long time to heat up or cool down.

The extent of Equatorial Region is _________________.

  1. $5^{\circ}$ North of $5^{\circ}$ South

  2. $10^{\circ}$ North of $10^{\circ}$ South

  3. $12^{\circ}$ North of $12^{\circ}$ South

  4. $18^{\circ}$ North of $18^{\circ}$ South

Show answer
Correct Option: B

What is the difference between a fulf and a bay?

geography natural regions climate and natural vegetation equatorial climatic region natural regions of the world

  1. A gulf is big and a bay is small

  2. A gulf is at a rivermouth and a bay is a not

  3. A bay is surrounded by cliffs, a gulf by lowland.

  4. Both are part of the sea that extend considerable into the land, but bay usually has a wider entrance than a gulf.

Show answer
Correct Option: D

Which of the following is the wettest place in the equatorial region?

geography natural regions climate and natural vegetation equatorial climatic region natural regions of the world

  1. Cherrapunji

  2. Mt Waialeale

  3. Mawsynram

  4. Mt Cameroon

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:
  • Mt Cameroon is a volcanic mountain located in Cameroon near equator. It receives highest rainfall in the equatorial region.
  • All the other options, viz Cherrapunjee,mawsynram(India) and Mt Waialeale(Hawaii,USA) are located near tropic of cancer, hence incorrect.

The equatorial region has _________.

geography natural regions climate and natural vegetation equatorial climatic region natural regions of the world

  1. Hot and wet climate throughout the year.

  2. Red and yellow soils of low fertility.

  3. Tall hard wood trees from a cover.

  4. All of these

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The equatorial region has hot wet and rainy weather.

The Turan Type of Regions have extreme climate because _______.

geography natural regions climate and natural vegetation equatorial climatic region natural regions of the world

  1. These lie in the interior parts of the continent.

  2. These have either too much or too less rain.

  3. These are either on hills or near the deserts.

  4. None of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The Turan Type of regions experience extreme climate. It stretches from the Caspian, eastward towards the Pamirs, and from the northern edge of the Plateau of Iran northward, beyond the Sea of Aral, to the Kirghiz steppes. The climate is continental, with hot summers, cool winters and a low rainfall.
