SL_NO 1 QUESTION_TYPE MULTIPLE_CHOICE DIFFICULTY Easy DIRECTION QUESTION Consider the following factors: 1. Landform 2. Climate 3. Soil 4. Industrialization 5. Urbanization Which of the above GEOGRAPHICAL FACTORS influence the distribution of population? A 1, 2, 3 and 4 B 2 and 3 C 1, 2 and 3 D All of the above ANSWER C POSITIVE_MARK 2 NEGATIVE_MARK 1 CATEGORY Geography EXPLANATION Availability of water, Landforms, Climate, Soils is geographical factors. Industrialization and urbanization are economic factors. SL_NO 2 QUESTION_TYPE MULTIPLE_CHOICE DIFFICULTY Intermediate DIRECTION QUESTION Which of the following statements are true about Mid-latitude cyclones? 1. They usually move across North-America from east to west. 2. They are generally found only over the Ocean. 3. They generally bring clear skies and little precipitation. 4. They are formed in regions of strong temperature contrasts. Select the correct answer from the codes given below: A 1, 3 and 4 B 3 and 4 C 4 only D 1, 2, 3 and 4 ANSWER C POSITIVE_MARK 2 NEGATIVE_MARK 1 CATEGORY Geography EXPLANATION A cyclone is an area of low pressure around which the winds flow counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. It is not a hurricane or tropical storm. SL_NO 3 QUESTION_TYPE MULTIPLE_CHOICE DIFFICULTY Intermediate DIRECTION QUESTION Which of the following statements about warm fronts is/are true? 1. A warm front is the surface boundary between a warm air mass and a cold air mass it is overtaking. 2. The slope of the warm front is very steep. 3. Cold air rises over the warm air along the warm front. Select the correct answer using the following codes: A 1 only B 1 and 2 only C 1 and 3 only D 1, 2 and 3 ANSWER A POSITIVE_MARK 2 NEGATIVE_MARK 1 CATEGORY Geography EXPLANATION A warm front is defined as the transition zone where a warm air mass is replacing a cold air mass. Warm fronts generally move from southwest to northeast and the air behind a warm front is warmer and moister than the air ahead of it. When a warm front passes through, the air becomes noticeably warmer and more humid than it was before. SL_NO 4 QUESTION_TYPE MULTIPLE_CHOICE DIFFICULTY Intermediate DIRECTION QUESTION Which of the following conditions is/are conducive for the formation of tropical cyclones? 1. Large and continuous supply of warm and moist air. 2. Coriolis force plays a major role. 3. Outflow of air at upper level of atmosphere. Select the correct answer using the following codes: A 1 only B 1 and 2 C 2 and 3 D 1, 2 and 3 ANSWER D POSITIVE_MARK 2 NEGATIVE_MARK 1 CATEGORY Geography EXPLANATION A tropical cyclone is a rapidly rotating storm system characterized by a low-pressure center, a closed low-level atmospheric circulation, strong winds, and a spiral arrangement of thunderstorms that produce heavy rain. Depending on its location and strength, a tropical cyclone is referred to by names such as hurricane tropical storm, cyclonic storm, tropical depression, and simply cyclone. Tropical cyclones typically form over large bodies of relatively warm water. They derive their energy through the evaporation of water from the ocean surface, which ultimately recompenses into clouds and rain when moist air rises and cools to saturation. This energy source differs from that of mid-latitude cyclonic storms, such as nor'easters and European windstorms, which are fueled primarily by horizontal temperature contrasts. The strong rotating winds of a tropical cyclone are a result of the conservation of angular momentum imparted by the Earth's rotation as air flows inwards toward the axis of rotation. As a result, they rarely form within 5° of the equator SL_NO 5 QUESTION_TYPE MULTIPLE_CHOICE DIFFICULTY Easy DIRECTION QUESTION A Consider the following statements: 1. All El Nino years has drought in India and has less rainfall during Indian Monsoon period. 2. The negative Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) is detrimental to the monsoon. 3. Major reasons for drought in India are only because of Strong El-Nino and Negative IOD. Which of the above mentioned statements is/are correct? 1, 2 and 3 B 2 only C 1 and 3 D 1 only ANSWER B POSITIVE_MARK 2 NEGATIVE_MARK 1 CATEGORY Geography EXPLANATION El Niño is a climate cycle in the Pacific Ocean with a global impact on weather patterns. The cycle begins when warm water in the western tropical Pacific Ocean shifts eastward along the equator toward the coast of South America. SL_NO 6 QUESTION_TYPE MULTIPLE_CHOICE DIFFICULTY Hard DIRECTION QUESTION A Consider the following statements about anticyclones: 1. Anticyclones move in the clockwise direction the southern hemisphere. 2. They have a high pressure at the centre. 3. The strongest anticyclones occur over snow-covered portions of Asia and North America in the winter. Which of the above mentioned statements is/are correct? 2 only B 1 and 2 C 2 and 3 D 1, 2 and 3 ANSWER C POSITIVE_MARK 2 NEGATIVE_MARK 1 CATEGORY Geography EXPLANATION An anti-cyclone -- also known as a high pressure area -- is a large atmospheric circulation system with the wind flowing clockwise around it in the Northern Hemisphere, and counter-clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. Anticyclones form from air masses cooling more than their surroundings, which causes the air to contract slightly making the air denser. Since dense air weighs more, the weight of the atmosphere overlying a locatiion increases, causing increased surface air pressure. SL_NO 7 QUESTION_TYPE MULTIPLE_CHOICE DIFFICULTY Hard DIRECTION QUESTION A Consider the following statements: 1. Sand-dune-covering eastern portion of the Thar Desert in western Rajasthan is known as Marusthali. 2. The Malabar Coast has got certain distinguishing features in the form of Kayals, which are used for fishing and inland navigation. Which of the statements given above is/are NOT correct? 1 only B 2 only C Both 1 and 2 D Neither 1 nor 2 ANSWER D POSITIVE_MARK 2 NEGATIVE_MARK 1 CATEGORY Geography EXPLANATION Marusthali, (Land of the Dead) sand-dune-covered eastern portion of the Great Indian (Thar) Desert in western Rajasthan state, northwestern India. It extends over about 24,000 square miles (62,000 square km), north of the Luni River. The Malabar coast has got certain distinguishing features in the form of 'Kayals' (backwaters), which are used for fishing, inland navigation and also due to its special attraction for tourists. Every year the famous Nehru Trophy Vallamkali (boat race) is held in PunnamadaKayal in Kerala. SL_NO 8 QUESTION_TYPE MULTIPLE_CHOICE DIFFICULTY Hard DIRECTION QUESTION A Peninsular rivers rarely form meanders. Which of the following could be a reason for it? 1. Hard rock surface of peninsular regions 2. Non-alluvial character of plateau 3. High erosional capacity of rivers Select the correct answer using the codes given below. 1 and 2 only B 1 and 3 only C 2 and 3 only D 1, 2 and 3 ANSWER A POSITIVE_MARK 2 NEGATIVE_MARK 1 CATEGORY Geography EXPLANATION Peninsular Rivers have lower erosional capacity, but because of hard rock surface in the region and non-alluvial character of plateau, they travel almost straight and thus do not form meanders. SL_NO 9 QUESTION_TYPE MULTIPLE_CHOICE DIFFICULTY Easy DIRECTION QUESTION Which of the following statements regarding landslides is/are correct? 1. They are sudden and sporadic. 2. They result when the slope is gentle. 3. Mining activity is also responsible for landslides. Select the correct answer using the code given below. A 1 and 2 only B 1 and 3 only C 3 only D 1, 2 and 3 ANSWER B POSITIVE_MARK 2 NEGATIVE_MARK 1 CATEGORY Geography EXPLANATION Generally they occur when the slope is steep.
