Question : 1 [SSC CML 1999]
When does the moon come between the Sun and earth?
a) Sidereal day
b) Lunar eclipse
c) Full moon day
d) Solar eclipse
Answer »Answer: (d)
As seen from the Earth, a solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, and the Moon fully or partially blocks the Sun.
This can happen only at the new moon when the Sun and the Moon are in conjunction as seen from Earth. In a total eclipse, the disk of the Sun is fully obscured by the Moon. In partial and annular eclipses only part of the Sun is obscured.
Question : 2 [SSC CGL 2016]
Why the Earth is having its own atmosphere ?
a) Gravity
b) Winds
c) Rotation of the Earth
d) Clouds
Answer »Answer: (a)
Due to gravity, our Earth has an atmosphere. Gravity causes the gases to be held close to the earth instead of escaping into outer space. Besides, gravity makes the atmosphere denser closer to the Earth – the upper layers push down against the lower layers.
Question : 3
Which of the following are correct?
- In the behaviour of earthquake waves, we study only three types of waves and they are ‘S’ - Surface waves, ‘L’ - Longitudinal waves and ‘P’ transverse.
- The velocity of P - waves and S - waves increase with the depth throughout.
- L - waves do not pass through the mantle because it is a liquid layer.
- S - waves persists only to the surface and do not penetrate deep into the earth.
a) 1, 2, 3 and 4
b) 2 and 4
c) None
d) 1 and 3
Answer »Answer: (c)
Only the second statement is correct.
Question : 4
The theory of plate tectonics was not initially widely accepted because:
a) fossils on South America and Africa did not match.
b) land bridges would have blocked plate movement.
c) Ocean floor mapping showed that older rocks occur away from mid-ocean ridges.
d) rocks of the Earths’s crust were considered too stiff for continents to move through them.
Answer »Answer: (d)
The theory of plate tectonics was not initially widely accepted because rocks of the Earth’s crust were considered too stiff for continents to move through them.
But gradually it was widely accepted among scientists because it relies on hard evidence and could explain most of the modern geological structures (Ocean basins, mountain ranges, rifts etc.)
Question : 5
Block Mountains are basically of two types, e. g.
- tilled block mountains having one steep side represented by fault scarp and one gentle side, and;
- lifted block mountains represent real horst and are characterized by flattened summit of tabular shape and very steep side slopes represented by two boundary fault scarps. Block Mountains are also called Horst Mountains.
a) 1 and 2
b) 1 only
c) None
d) 2 only
Answer »Answer: (a)
