Question : 42 [SSC IT 2007]
Earthquake is caused by

b) disturbance of earth surface
c) upliftment of rocks
d) adjustment of layers of earth’s crust
Answer »Answer: (b)

Question : 44 [SSC SO 2006]
The tropical grassland is called

b) Pampas
c) Veld
d) Llanas
Answer »Answer: (a)
Tropical grasslands (Savannas) are located near the equator, between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. They cover much of Africa as well as large areas of Australia, South America, and India.
They are found in tropical wet and dry climates. These areas are hot year-round, usually never dropping under 64 degrees Fahrenheit. Although these areas are overall very dry, they do have a season of heavy rain. Annual rainfall is from 20-50 inches per year. It is crucial that the rainfall is concentrated in six or eight months of the year, followed by a long period of drought when fires can occur.
Savannas are associated with several types of biomes. Savannas are frequently in a transitional zone between forest and desert or grassland. Savanna covers approximately 20% of the Earth’s land area.
