Q1.Indian climate is generally influenced by?
भारतीय जलवायु सामान्यतः किससे प्रभावित होती है?
(a) Presence of Himalayas in the North/ उत्तर में हिमालय की उपस्थिति
(b) Indian ocean in the south/ दक्षिण में हिन्द महासागर
(c) Both of the above./ उपरोक्त दोनों
(d) None of the above./ उपर्युक्त में से कोई भी नहीं
Show Answer
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.

Q3.What is ITCZ?
आईटीसीजेड (ITCZ) क्या है?

(b) Inter Tropical Convergence Zone/ अंतः उष्णकटिबंधीय अभिसरण क्षेत्र
(c) None of the above/ उपर्युक्त में से कोई नहीं
(d) International Tropical Convergence Zone/ अंतर्राष्ट्रीय उष्णकटिबंधीय अभिसरण क्षेत्र
Show Answer
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.

(b) Kuroshio/ कुरोशियो
(c) Atlantic Ocean/ अटलांटिक महासागर
(d) Humboldt/ हम्बोल्ट
Show Answer
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.

Q8.Rill erosion is caused due to?
अवनालिका अपरदन किस कारण होता है?
(a) Erosion by water/ पानी द्वारा क्षरण
(b) Erosion by wind/ हवा से क्षरण
(c) Due to plate movement of earth/ पृथ्वी की प्लेट विवर्तनिकी के कारण
(d) None of these/ इनमें से कोई नहीं
Show Answer
Ans.(a)
Sol.Erosion, which is the weathering away of soil and rock, can happen by wind, water, or gravity. It's natural, but sometimes people do things to speed up the process or cause it to happen in places where it wouldn't normally. Rill erosion is one type of water erosion, but it is part of a series of events that begin with raindrops falling on bare soil.Raindrops hit bare soil with enough force to break the soil aggregates. These fragments wash into soil pores and prevent water from infiltrating the soil. Water then accumulates on the surface and increases runoff which takes soil with it.

Q10.Which soil is largest of all soil groups in india.
भारत में सभी मृदा समूहों में कौन सी मृदा सबसे बड़े क्षेत्र में पाई जाती है?
(a) Red Soil/ लाल मृदा
(b) Alluvial Soil/ जलोढ़ मृदा
(c) Black Soil/ काली मृदा
(d) Desert soil/ मरुस्थली मृदा
Show Answer
Ans.(b)
Sol.Alluvial soils are formed mainly due to silt deposited by Indo-Gangetic-Brahmaputra rivers. In coastal regions some alluvial deposits are formed due to wave action.Rocks of the Himalayas form the parent material. Thus the parent material of these soils is of transported origin.They are the largest soil group covering about 15 lakh sq km or about 46 per cent of the total area.

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).

Sol.Weathering describes the means by which soil, rocks and minerals are changed by physical and chemical processes into other soil components. Weathering is an integral part of soil development. Depending on the soil-forming factors in an area, weathering may proceed rapidly over a decade or slowly over millions of years

Show Answer
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.
