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

  1. Crust

  2. Core

  3. Mantle

  4. Ocean floors

D Correct answer
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

  3. Depositional

  4. All of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The relief of the ocean floor is shaped by a combination of tectonic (volcanic), erosional, and depositional processes. These forces work together to create features like ridges, trenches, and abyssal plains.

The movements in the ocean water is/are ___________.

  1. Tides

  2. Waves

  3. Ocean currents

  4. All of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
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 _________________.

  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
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
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.

Which of the following region has the minimum range of annual temperature (of about $3^{\circ}$)?

  1. The Tundra region

  2. The Equatorial region

  3. The Savanna region

  4. The Prairie region
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The equatorial region experiences very little seasonal variation in temperature due to the consistent angle of the sun throughout the year, resulting in a very small annual temperature range.

What is the difference between a fulf and a bay?

  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.

D Correct answer
Explanation

Both bays and gulfs are inlets of the sea, but a bay typically has a wider opening to the ocean compared to the narrower opening of a gulf.

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

  1. Cherrapunji

  2. Mt Waialeale

  3. Mawsynram

  4. Mt Cameroon
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
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.

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
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.
