B Correct answer
Explanation

B.  Haryana, Punjab, Bihar

It may be noted that agricultural prosperity does not depend as much as on the total net sown area as it does on the percentage of net sown area to the total reporting area. There are large variations in the proportion of net sown area to total reporting area from one state to another Punjab and Haryana had some of the highest proportions of 84.2 and 80.7 per cent respectively.

Large tracts of the Indo-Ganga plain in Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar and in coastal regions have large percentage of area sown more than once.

A small coloured paper pellet is put in a beaker half-filled with water.
The beaker is placed on a tripod stand and heated.
As the water warms, the pellet moves upwards with the warm column of water and sinks back along the cool column of water.
Identify this movement:

  1. Molten magma inside the earth

  2. earth's magma inside the earth

  3. Energy flow from one trophic level to another

  4. Hydrological cycle
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The water cycle also known as the hydrological cycle describes the continues movement of water on, above and below the surface of the earth. Although the balance of water on Earth remains fairly constant over time, individual water molecules can come and go, in and out of the atmosphere. In doing so, the water goes through different phase liquid, solid (ice) and gas (vapor).

Dentritic pattern of drainage has a _______.

  1. right angles structure.

  2. jointly rock terrain.

  3. dome like structure.

  4. branch like structure
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

A dendritic drainage pattern is the most common form and looks like the branching pattern of tree roots. It develops in regions underlain by homogeneous material. That is, the subsurface geology has a similar resistance to weathering so there is no apparent control over the direction the tributaries take.

Radial pattern of drainage has _______.

  1. right angles structure.

  2. jointly rock terrain.

  3. dome like structure.

  4. branch like structure.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Radial pattern of drainage has dome like structure.
It is a drainage pattern in which consequent streams radiate or diverge outward, like the spokes of a wheel, from a high central area; it is best developed on the slopes of a young, unbreached dome like structure or of a volcanic cone.

Mechanical weathering is caused by _____________.

  1. Plants and animals

  2. Solution action of water

  3. Temperature changes

  4. Earthquakes
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Mechanical weathering (or physical weathering) is primarily driven by physical forces such as temperature fluctuations (thermal expansion and contraction), frost wedging, and pressure release, rather than chemical reactions.

The process of decomposition and disintegration of rocks is called ______________.

  1. Denudation

  2. Erosion

  3. Weathering

  4. Gradation
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Weathering is the general term for the breakdown of rocks at the Earth's surface through physical, chemical, and biological processes without significant transport, which distinguishes it from erosion.

Chemical weathering is a name given to __________________.

  1. Disintegration of rocks without any change in their chemical composition

  2. Chemical interaction of oxygen carbon-dioxide or water with the rocks

  3. Removal of soil by chemical action

  4. Washing away of rocks by water
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself

The 'slash and burn' agriculture is known as 'Milpa' in _______________.

  1. Mexico.

  2. Venezuela.

  3. Brazil.

  4. Indonesia.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

A farming method that involves the cutting and burning of plants in a forest to create a field is known as ‘Slash and burn’ agriculture.  The resulting layer of ash provides the newly-cleared land with a nutrient-rich layer to help fertilize crops. It is a method of agriculture which is mainly used by tribal communities for subsistence farming. ‘Slash and burn’ agriculture is mostly practiced in central Africa, northern South America, and Southeast Asia. ‘Slash and burn’ agriculture is known as Milpa in Mexico.
