Thermohaline is a part of large scale ocean circulation around the earth. Choose correct statements:
1. It is driven by density gradient.
2. It includes both the processes of sinking and upwelling of waters.
3. State of circulation has large impact on climate of Earth.
4. It is sometimes called ocean conveyor belt or meridional overturning circulation.

D Correct answer
Explanation

Thermohaline circulation is driven by density differences (temperature and salinity), involves deep-water formation and upwelling, and is crucial for global heat distribution.

D Correct answer
Explanation

Mountain building, or orogeny, is a complex geological process. It involves plate tectonics, folding and faulting of rock layers, volcanic activity, and igneous intrusions, all of which contribute to the formation of mountain ranges.

Which of the following conditions is/are essential for tea cultivation?
1. Tropical and sub-tropical climate
2. Heavy rainfall ranging from 150 cm to 250 cm
3. Soil should contain good amount of lime
Select the correct answer using the code given below:

  1. 1, 2 and 3

  2. 1 and 2 only

  3. 2 and 3 only

  4. 1 only
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
Tea bush is a tropical and sub-tropical plant and thrives well in hot and humid climate. There is a very close relation
between climate, the yield and the quality of tea. The ideal temperature for its growth is 20°-30°C and temperatures above 35°C and
below 10°C are harmful for the bush.
 Temperature: 21°C to 29°C is ideal for the production of tea. High temperature is required in summer. The lowest temperature for
the growth of tea is 16°C.
 Rainfall: 150-250 cm of rainfall is required for tea cultivation.
 Soil: Tea shrubs require fertile mountain soil mixed with lime and iron. The soil should be rich in humus.
 Land: Tea cultivation needs well drained land. Stagnation of water is not good for tea plants. Heavy rainfall but no stagnancy of water, such mountain slopes are good for tea cultivation.

With reference to micro-irrigation, which of the following statements is/are correct?
1. Fertiliser/nutrient loss can be reduced.
2. It is the only means of irrigation in dry land farming.
3. In some areas of farming, receding of ground water level can be checked.
Select the correct answer using the codes given below

  1. Only 1

  2. 2 and 3

  3. 1 and 3

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

Micro-irrigation techniques like drip and sprinkler irrigation deliver water directly to the plant roots, significantly reducing fertilizer and nutrient runoff losses (statement 1 true). It also limits deep percolation and evaporation, helping to check the receding of groundwater levels in certain agricultural regions (statement 3 true). Statement 2 is false because micro-irrigation is not the exclusive means of irrigation in dry lands.
