Question 1 of 5
1. Question
Consider the following statements.
- Maize requires moderate temperature, rainfall and lots of sunshine.
- Cotton requires high temperature, light rainfall, and less than hundred frost-free days and bright sunshine for its growth.
- Jute grows well on alluvial soil and requires high temperature, heavy rainfall and humid climate.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Correct
Solution: c)
Maize requires moderate temperature, rainfall and lots of sunshine. It needs well-drained fertile soils.
Cotton requires high temperature, light rainfall, two hundred and ten frost-free days and bright sunshine for its growth. It grows best on black and alluvial soils.
Jute was also known as the ‘Golden Fibre’. It grows well on alluvial soil and requires high temperature, heavy rainfall and humid climate. This crop is grown in the tropical areas. India and Bangladesh are the leading producers of jute.

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
Consider the following statements.
- Deltas are formed in low tide regions, whereas Estuaries are formed in high tide region with rift valleys.
- Estuaries are usually more fertile than delta regions.
- Delta region continuously interacts with the ocean unlike estuaries which does not.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Correct
Solution: a)
- Deltas are practically wetlands that are normally formed when a fast-moving river empties its sediments before joining a slow-moving water body such as a sea or an ocean or a lake. On the other hand, estuaries are semi-enclosed water bodies that constitute of salty water. It is normally an area where a river merges with a sea.
- Deltas are normally shaped like a bird’s foot or fan-shaped, whereas, estuaries are fjord estuaries or tectonic estuaries.
- Deltas are extremely fertile by nature that makes it suitable for agriculture and estuaries are not fertile and thus, not suitable for agriculture.
- Deltas are formed in regions that experience coastal plants and low tides, whereas, estuaries are formed in regions that experience rift valleys and high tides.

Solution: d)
The enclosed seas in the low latitudes record relatively higher temperature than the open seas whereas the enclosed seas in the high latitudes have lower temperature than the open seas.
Incorrect
Solution: d)
The enclosed seas in the low latitudes record relatively higher temperature than the open seas whereas the enclosed seas in the high latitudes have lower temperature than the open seas.

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
Consider the following statements regarding Ocean Currents.
- Ocean currents are not greatly influenced by coriolis force.
- The oceanic circulation pattern roughly corresponds to the earth’s atmospheric circulation pattern.
- In the southern hemisphere, the air circulation over the oceans in the middle latitudes is mainly cyclonic.
Which of the above statements is/are incorrect?
Correct
Solution: d)
Major ocean currents are greatly influenced by the stresses exerted by the prevailing winds and
coriolis force. The oceanic circulation pattern roughly corresponds to the earth’s atmospheric
circulation pattern. The air circulation over the oceans in the middle latitudes is mainly anticyclonic (more pronounced in the southern hemisphere than in the northern hemisphere).
