C Correct answer
Explanation

Solar eclipses are dangerous because the sun can come out from behind the moon and surprise you before you have a chance to look away. And this is actually even worse than when you normally look away from the sun because during the total eclipse, it is dark out, and your pupil therefore dialates so that it can let in enough light to get a good picture. Then, when the sun reappears and starts flooding the area with really bright light, not only are you staring straight at it, but your eye is in a state where it is wide open, and actively trying to let in as much light as possible.

This explains why it is easy to damage your eye when watching a total solar eclipse, and why you should either be sure to time it very carefully or just view the thing through one of those sets of cheap dark glasses they sell for the express purpose of looking at the sun without getting hurt.

C Correct answer
Explanation

The Western Ghats are an escarpment formed by the faulting and subsequent subsidence of the western part of the Indian peninsula during the breakup of Gondwanaland. This created the steep western face of the mountains.

 which of the following reason justifies the statement of  that Asia and Australia were joined together some million years ago?

  1. Fossils of Marsupials are found in Asia

  2. Culture of both places has many similarities

  3. Climate is quite similar

  4. The big green fields found in Australia are very much like

    those in Asia
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The presence of marsupial fossils in Asia provides evidence that these animals, now primarily found in Australia, once inhabited a broader range when the continents were connected. This supports the theory of continental drift and ancient land bridges.

Forces which act in the interior of the earth are called as _______________.

  1. Exogenic forces

  2. Endogenic forces

  3. Eurogenic forces

  4. None of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The horizontal and vertical movements caused by the forces coming from the origin of the earth are known as endogenic forces. The origin of the endogenic force is caused by the contraction and expansion of rocks due to variation in thermal conditions and temperature inside the earth.

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer

As seen from the Earth, a solar eclipse is a type of eclipse that occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, and the Moon fully or partially blocks the Sun. This can happen only at new moon when the Sun and the Moon are in conjunction as seen from Earth in an alignment. In a total eclipse, the disk of the Sun is fully obscured by the Moon. In partial and annular eclipses, only part of the Sun is obscured.

    Northern Hemisphere, the half that is north of the equator

    Southern Hemisphere, the half that lies south of the equator,

    East-West

    Eastern Hemisphere, the half that lies east of the prime meridian and west of the 180th meridian

    Western Hemisphere, the half that lies west of the prime meridian and east of the 180th meridian
