Q. 1. Regarding ocean currents, which of the following statements are correct?
I. Warm Ocean currents generally flow from equatorial regions towards the poles.
II. The Coriolis effect causes ocean currents to deflect to the left in the Northern Hemisphere.
III. Upwelling brings cold, nutrient-rich water from the deep ocean to the surface, supporting marine life.
IV. Thermohaline circulation is driven primarily by surface winds.
Select the correct answer using the code given below:
- I and II only
- I and III only
- I, II and III only
- I, III and IV only
Answer:
Explanation:
Q. 2. The formation of tropical cyclones (hurricanes/typhoons) typically requires which two primary conditions?
(A) High atmospheric pressure and dry air
(B) Desert conditions and high-altitude winds
(C) Cold Ocean water and strong wind shear
(D) Warm Ocean water and low wind shear
Answer:
Explanation:
Q. 3. Which of the following is the primary driver of deep ocean currents, also known as thermohaline circulation?
- Differences in water temperature and salinity
- Tides
- Wind patterns
- Earth’s rotation (Coriolis effect)
Answer:
Explanation:
Q. 4. Which processes are primarily responsible for the formation of meanders in a river?
- Erosion on the outer bank and deposition on the inner bank
- Only deposition on the inner bank
- Only erosion on the outer bank
- Vertical downcutting of the riverbed
Answer:
Explanation:
Q. 5. What is ‘upwelling’ in oceanography, and why is it important for marine ecosystems?
- The horizontal movement of surface currents across the ocean basin
- The movement of deep, cold, nutrient-rich water to the surface
- The sinking of warm, nutrient-poor surface water
- The formation of icebergs from glaciers entering the ocean
