2. Question
Which of the following phenomena might have influenced the evolution of organisms? [2014]
1. Continental drift
2. Glacial cycles
Select the correct answer using the code given below.CorrectContinental Drift has effected the evolution of animals, the world’s geographical positions and the world’s climates.
The split of the original super land mass Pangea into Gondwanaland and the laurasia created new geographical/climatic regions.
The rearrangement and displacement of huge landmasses has helped create the diversity which we see in modern day species.

3. Question
Consider the following statements: [2015]
1. The winds which blow between 30° N and 60° S latitudes throughout the year are known as westerlies.
2. The moist air masses that cause winter rains in North-Western region of India are part of westerlies.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?CorrectThe Westerlies are prevailing winds from the west toward the east in the middle latitudes between 30 and 60 degrees latitude. They originate from the high-pressure areas in the horse latitudes and tend towards the poles and steer extra tropical cyclones in this general manner. The moist air masses that cause winter rains in North-Western region of India are part of westerlies.

“Each day is more or less the same, the morning is clear and bright with a sea breeze; as the Sun climbs high in the sky, heat mounts up, dark clouds form, then rain comes with thunder and lightning. But rain is soon over.” Which of the following regions is described in the above passage? [2015]
CorrectThe passage points out equatorial region.
IncorrectThe passage points out equatorial region.
UnattemptedThe passage points out equatorial region.

6. Question
In the South Atlantic and South-Eastern Pacific regions in tropical latitudes, cyclone does not originate. What is the reason? [2015]
CorrectIncorrectUnattempted - Question 7 of 9
7. Question
What explains the eastward flow of the equatorial counter-current? [2015]
CorrectThe Earth’s rotation on its axis explains the eastward flow of the equatorial counter-current. If the earth would have been rotating east to west, the piled up water would have come down on the west side. Therefore, essentially it’s the earth’s rotation that explains the eastward flow of equatorial counter current.

1. Dibang
2. Kameng
3. Lohit
Select the correct answer using the code given below.CorrectThe Brahmaputra enters India in the state of Arunachal Pradesh from its original source Tibet, and is joined by the Dibang River and the Lohit River at the head of the Assam Valley. It is joined in Sonitpur by the Kameng River (or Jia Bhoreli).
Brahmaputra’s main left bank tributaries, viz., Dibang or Sikang and Lohit. The important right bank tributaries are the Subansiri, Kameng, Manas and Sankosh.

9. Question
With reference to ‘Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD)’ sometimes mentioned in the news while forecasting Indian monsoon, which of the following statements is/are correct? [2017]
1. IOD phenomenon is characterized by a difference in sea surface temperature between tropical Western Indian Ocean and tropical Eastern Pacific Ocean.
2. An IOD phenomenon can influence an El Nino’s impact on the monsoon.
Select the correct answer using the code given below:Correct• The Hindu: Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) is an event which the western Indian Ocean becomes alternately warmer and then colder than the eastern part of the Indian ocean. So first statement is wrong.
• A positive IOD leads to greater monsoon rainfall and more active (above normal rainfall) monsoon days while negative IOD leads to less rainfall and more monsoon break days (no rainfall). So yes, IOD can influence El Nino’s impact on Monsoon. So second statement is right.Incorrect• The Hindu: Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) is an event which the western Indian Ocean becomes alternately warmer and then colder than the eastern part of the Indian ocean.
