Q.1. Consider the following statements

2. Rivers, ice, wind and waves wear away rocks and are agents of weathering.
Select the correct answer from the following codes
a. Only 1
b. Only 2
c. Both 1 and 2
d. Neither 1 nor 2
Answer: d
Explanation: weathering is weakening of rocks. Erosion is active wearing away of earth surfaces. But erosion can’t take place unless the rocks are first weakened or shattered by exposure to the elements.

Q.5. Consider the following statements
1. The main work of river is deposition
2. Deltas do not obstruct the river flow
Select the correct answer from the following codes
a. Only 1
b. Only 2
c. Both 1 and 2
d. Neither 1 nor 2
Answer: a
Explanation: deltas obstruct the river flow. Due to obstruction caused by deposited alluvium, the river discharges its water through distributaries. The work of river is mainly deposition, building up its bed and forming extensive flood plains.
Q.6. Consider the following statements
2. Deltas do not obstruct the river flow
Select the correct answer from the following codes
a. Only 1
b. Only 2
c. Both 1 and 2
d. Neither 1 nor 2
Answer: a
Explanation: deltas obstruct the river flow. Due to obstruction caused by deposited alluvium, the river discharges its water through distributaries. The work of river is mainly deposition, building up its bed and forming extensive flood plains.
Q.6. Consider the following statements
1. Estuaries are more suitable for large ports than deltas.
2. Rivers are used to export bulky good, import food stuffs, and raw materials.
Select the correct answer from the following codes
a. Only 1
b. Only 2
c. Both 1 and 2
d. Neither 1 nor 2
Answer: c
Explanation: By depositing large quantities of sediments in lower course, river silts up ports preventing large steamers anchoring close to shores.
Q.7. Which of the following is true about physical weathering in deserts?
2. Rivers are used to export bulky good, import food stuffs, and raw materials.
Select the correct answer from the following codes
a. Only 1
b. Only 2
c. Both 1 and 2
d. Neither 1 nor 2
Answer: c
Explanation: By depositing large quantities of sediments in lower course, river silts up ports preventing large steamers anchoring close to shores.
Q.7. Which of the following is true about physical weathering in deserts?

Select the correct answer from the following codes
a. Only 1
b. Only 2
c. Both 1 and 2
d. Neither 1 nor 2
Answer: c
Explanation: Crucial physical weathering in deserts is repeated wetting and drying of rocks. Repeated wetting and drying of rocks is as important as temperature changes in mechanical weathering.

a. Only 1
b. Only 1 and 2
c. Only 2 and 3
d. 1,2 and 3
Answer: d
Explanation: Moisture supplied by rain water fastens mass movement.
Q.9. Landslides are caused by

3. Moisture
Select the correct answer from the following codes
a. Only 1
b. Only 1 and 2
c. Only 2 and 3
d. 1,2 and 3
Answer: d
Explanation: Moisture supplied by rain water fastens mass movement.
Q.9. Landslides are caused by
1. Earthquake or Volcanic disturbances
2. Man made steepening.
3. Lubricating action of rain water.
Select the correct answer from the following codes
a. Only 1
b. Only 1 and 2
c. Only 2 and 3
d. 1,2 and 3
Answer: d
Explanation: It may also be caused when steep slopes undercut by river or sea. But later the landslides are caused by lubricating action of rain water.
Q.10. Consider the following statements?
2. Man made steepening.
3. Lubricating action of rain water.
Select the correct answer from the following codes
a. Only 1
b. Only 1 and 2
c. Only 2 and 3
d. 1,2 and 3
Answer: d
Explanation: It may also be caused when steep slopes undercut by river or sea. But later the landslides are caused by lubricating action of rain water.
Q.10. Consider the following statements?
1. In dry climate little moisture percolates into the ground.
2. In very humid areas, most of water percolates in ground.
3. In moderate humid areas, water is moved as runoff and sink into the ground.
Select the correct answer from the following codes
a. Only 1
b. Only 1 and 3
c. Only 2 and 3
d. 1,2 and 3
Answer: b
Explanation: In dry climate, much precipitation is quickly evaporated into dry atmosphere and little moisture percolate ground. In very humid areas, most of the water run-off because surface of ground is already moist.
2. In very humid areas, most of water percolates in ground.
3. In moderate humid areas, water is moved as runoff and sink into the ground.
Select the correct answer from the following codes
a. Only 1
b. Only 1 and 3
c. Only 2 and 3
d. 1,2 and 3
Answer: b
