country is situated north of the equator between 8°4' to 37°6' north
latitude and 68°7' to 97°25' east longitude.

Ganges (Ganga) River, rising in Madhya Pradesh state, central India.The
Son valley is geologically almost a continuation of that of the Narmada
River to the southwest. It is largely forested and sparsely populated. The
valley is bordered by the Kaimur Range to the north and the Chota
Nagpur plateau to the south.

the Oil City of Assam where the first oil well in Asia was drilled. The first
refinery was started here as early as 1901. Digboi has the oldest oil well
in operation.
Ans.(b)

the primary industries being engineering and textiles. Coimbatore is
called the "Manchester of South India" due to its extensive textile
industry, fed by the surrounding cotton fields.

the Mannar district of the Northern Province of the island nation of Sri
Lanka. It connects the Bay of Bengal in the northeast with Palk Bay in the
southwest.

these five rivers of Punjab are Sutlej, Beas, Ravi, Chenab and Jhelum.
Ans.(c)

Rajasthan, India. Udaipur is also referred to as the "Venice of the East", the
"Most Romantic City of India" and the "Kashmir of Rajasthan".
Ans.(b)
Sol.Collectively, El Niño and La Niña are parts of an oscillation in the ocean-
atmosphere system called the El Niño-Southern Oscillation.El Niño Southern
Oscillation refers to the cycle of warm and cold temperatures, as measured by sea
surface temperature, SST, of the tropical central and eastern Pacific Ocean.
Ans.(a)
Sol.The Narmada and the Tapti are the only major rivers that flow into the
Arabian Sea. The total length of Narmada through the states of Madhya
Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Gujarat amounts to 1312 km. The Tapti follows a
parallel course to the south of the Narmada, flowing through the states of
Maharashtra and Gujarat on its way into the Gulf of Khambhat.
Ans.(c)
Sol.The boundary between the turbulent troposphere and the calm, cold
stratosphere is called the tropopause. Jet streams travel in the tropopause.Jet
streams are some of the strongest winds in the atmosphere. Their speeds
usually range from 129 to 225 kilometers per hour (80 to 140 miles per hour),
but they can reach more than 443 kilometers per hour (275 miles per hour).
They are faster in winter when the temperature differences between tropical,
temperate, and polar air currents are greater.
Ans.(c)
Sol. The Nilgiri often referred to as the Nilgiri Hills, are a range of mountains
with at least 24 peaks above 2,000 meters, in the westernmost part of Tamil
Nadu at the junction of Karnataka and Kerala in Southern India.
Ans.(d)
Sol.A nonrenewable resource is a resource of economic value that
cannot be readily replaced by natural means on a level equal to its
consumption. Most fossil fuels, such as oil, natural gas and coal are
considered nonrenewable resources in that their use is not sustainable
because their formation takes billions of years.
Ans.(c)
Sol.The major cause of land degradation in punjab is "flooding or Over
irrigation".Over exploitation of soil and water resources has led to the
problem of soil degradation and declining water table in the large areas
of Punjab.About 39% of the state's soil is completely degraded while 50%
of the soil is acutely low in nitrogen and 25% low in phosphorous
content.

In which one of the following states is terrace cultivation
practised?
ननम्नलिखित राज्यों में से ककस राज्य में सीढीदार िेती का अभ्यास
ककया जाता है ?
(a) Punjab/ पांिाब
(b) Plains of Uttar Pradesh/ उत्तर प्रदे श के मैदान
(c) Haryana/ हररयाणा
(d) Uttrakhand/ उत्तराखांि
Ans.(d)
Sol.Rice and other crops are grown on the terraces. Hilly areas use this method of
cultivation. The states that practice the cultivation are Uttarakhand, Himachal
Pradesh and north-east states.Terrace cultivation, method of growing crops on sides
of hills or mountains by planting on graduated terraces built into the slope. Though
labour-intensive, the method has been employed effectively to maximize arable land
area in variable terrains and to reduce soil erosion and water loss.
Ans.(c)
Sol. India’s climate is strongly influenced by the Oceans, Himalayas and the
Thar Desert. The Himalayas act as a barrier to the frigid katabatic winds
flowing down from Central Asia keeping the bulk of the Indian subcontinent
warmer than most locations at similar latitudes.The climate of India may be
broadly described as tropical monsoon type. India’s climate is affected by two
seasonal winds viz. the north-east monsoon and the south-west monsoon.
Ans.(b)
Sol.The Inter Tropical Convergence Zone, or ITCZ, is a belt of low pressure
which circles the Earth generally near the equator where the trade winds
of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres come together. It is
characterised by convective activity which generates often vigorous
thunderstorms over large areas. It is most active over continental land
masses by day and relatively less active over the oceans.
Ans.(a)
Sol.Two giants of 20th-century meteorology, Gilbert Walker and Jacob
Bjerknes, are usually given credit for discovering the El Niño-Southern
Oscillation phenomenon.
Ans.(d)
Sol.The Humboldt Current, also called the Peru Current, is a cold, low-salinity
ocean current that flows north along the western coast of South
America.Normally, for a period of just a few weeks around Christmas each
year, this cold water is replaced by a warm current. This event is called El Niño,
also known as "the little boy." Every 2 to 7 years, however, this warm water
event lasts much longer and is much more pronounced. Then it is called a
major El Niño event.
Ans.(c)
Sol.The monsoons withdraw from the extreme north-west end of the
country in September, from the peninsula by October and from the
extreme south-eastern tip by December.It starts with the beginning of
the withdrawal of southwest monsoon [middle of September –
November] and lasts till early January.
Ans.(b)
Sol.La Niña is the positive phase of the El Niño Southern Oscillation and
is associated with cooler-than-average sea surface temperatures in the
central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean.
Ans.(c)
Sol.Black soil is also called Regur soil. It is black in colour and ideal for growing
cotton. This type of soil is typical of the Deccan trap (Basalt) region spread
over North-West Deccan plateau and is made up of lava flows.
Ans.(a)
Sol. The loss or removal of nitrogen or nitrogen compounds; specifically :
reduction of nitrates or nitrites commonly by bacteria (as in soil) that
usually results in the escape of nitrogen into the air.
Ans.(d)
Sol.In agriculture, leaching refers to the loss of water-soluble plant nutrients
from the soil, due to rain and irrigation. Soil structure, crop planting, type and
application rates of fertilizers, and other factors are taken into account to
avoid excessive nutrient loss. Leaching may also refer to the practice of
applying a small amount of excess irrigation where the water has a high salt
content to avoid salts from building up in the soil (salinity control).
Ans.(a)
Sol.Pedology is the study of soils in their natural environment. It is one of
two main branches of soil science, the other being edaphology.
Ans.(d)
Sol.This soil, also known as the omnibus group, have been developed over Archaean
granite, gneiss and other crystalline rocks, the sedimentaries of the Cuddapah and
Vindhayan basins and mixed Dharwarian group of rocks. Their colour is mainly due to
ferric oxides occurring as thin coatings on the soil particles while the iron oxide
occurs as haematite or as hydrous ferric oxide, the color is red and when it occurs in
the hydrate form as limonite the soil gets a yellow colour. Ordinarily the surface soils
are red while the horizon below gets yellowish colour.
