Question : 1
What explains the eastward flow of the equatorial countercurrent?
a) Difference in salinity of water
b) Occurrence of the belt of calm near the equator
c) Convergence of the two equatorial currents
d) The Earth’s rotation on its axis
Answer »Answer: (d)
The Earth’s rotation on its axis explains the eastward flow of the equatorial counter-current. 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.

Answer »Answer: (a)
The Milky Way is the Galaxy in which we live. It is a spiral-shaped galaxy that contains several hundred billion stars, including our Sun. It is about 100,000 light-years across and about 10,000 light-years thick.
If you are at a place that has a very dark night sky, you can sometimes see the Milky Way as a thick band of stars in the sky. We live out in the suburbs of the Milky Way - not near the center, but not near the edge either.

a) changing angle of sun
b) none of these
c) changing angle of sunlight hitting the moon
d) changing angle of earth with respect to moon
Answer »Answer: (d)
The different phases of the moon are caused by changing the angle of the earth with respect to moon. The moon’s phases are a result of the moon’s orbit around the earth as it reflects the sun’s light.
The lunar phases vary cyclically as the Moon orbits the Earth, according to the changing relative positions of the Earth, Moon, and Sun.

- Palaeozoic – Silurian (The Silurian is a geologic period and system spanning 24.6 million years from the end of the Ordovician Period, at 443.8 million years ago (Mya), to the beginning of the Devonian Period, 419.2 Mya. As with other geologic periods, the rock beds that define the period’s start and end are well identified, but the exact dates are uncertain by several million years. The base of the Silurian is set at a major Ordovician-Silurian extinction event when 60% of marine species were wiped out.
- Mesozoic – Jurassic (The dinosaurs went extinct 65 million years ago. The Mesozoic Era lasted about 180 million years and is divided into three periods, the Triassic, the Jurassic, and the Cretaceous. Each of these periods is divided into many epochs and ages. Mesozoic means “Middle Animal” and is sometimes called the age of reptiles.)
- Pre Cambrian – Archean (The Precambrian (or Pre-Cambrian, sometimes abbreviated p?) is the earliest period of Earth’s history, set before the current Phanerozoic Eon. The Precambrian (coloured green on the right) is a supereon that is subdivided into three aeons (Hadean, Archean, Proterozoic) of the geologic time scale.)
- Cainozoic – Oligocene (The Cainozoic (Cenozoic) is the current geological era. It began 66 million years ago and continues today. Before it was the Mesozoic. During the Cainozoic, the continents moved into their present positions.)
