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
a. Only 1
b. Only 1 and 2
c. Only 2 and 3
d. 1,2 and 3
Answer: d
Explanation: In a open ocean the speed of waves are very high on approaching shores their speed is reduced. The waves are curved or refracted against the aligned of the coast.

b. 1 ,2and 4
c. Only 3 and 4
d. 1,2 ,3and4
Answer: d
Explanation: Waves armed with rock debris, waves that transport beach materials, hydraulic action of water brought by waves, on lime coast solvent action of sea water on calcium carbonate are marineagents of erosion.

c. 1, 2 and 3
d. None
a. Only 4
b. Only 2 and 4
c. 1, 2 and 3
d. None
Answer: d
Explanation: the rate of marine erosion depends on all the above mentioned factors and also human inference in coast protection.
Q4. Which of the following influences marine erosion?
1. Earth movement
2. Organic accumulation
3. Wind

d. 1,2 and 3
a. Only 3
b. Only 1 and 2
c. Only 2 and 3
d. 1,2 and 3
Answer: b
Explanation: Marine erosion is also influenced by Vulcanicity, Glaciations, earth movement and organic accumulation
Q5. With reference to coastal erosion, which of the following is true?
1. Exposed coasts are eroded regularly.
2. Even coasts of one rock type are eroded irregularity.
Q5. With reference to coastal erosion, which of the following is true?
1. Exposed coasts are eroded regularly.
2. Even coasts of one rock type are eroded irregularity.
Select the correct answer from the following codes
a. Only 1
b. Only 2
c. Both 1 and 2
d. Neither 1 nor 2
a. Only 1
b. Only 2
c. Both 1 and 2
d. Neither 1 nor 2
Answer: b
Explanation: Even where the coast is of one rock type irregularities will be caused by variation within the rock on exposed coast, the continual action of waves on rocks of varying resistance cause the coast line to be eroded irregularly.
Q6. Consider the following statements regarding coastal features of erosion?
1. On erosion the softer rocks such as sand and clay worn into bays.
2. On erosion hard rock’s like granites and lime stones persist as capes.
3. Persian Gulf and Bay of Bengal are also coastal features of erosion.

Select the correct answer from the following codes
a. Only 1
b. Only 1 and2
c. Both 2 and 3
d. 1,2 and3
a. Only 1
b. Only 1 and2
c. Both 2 and 3
d. 1,2 and3
Answer: b
Explanation: Very large indentations are due to other causes such as submergence or earth movement.
Q7. With reference to shore profile which of the following is true?
1. Cliffs are formed only when steep rock faces the coast.
2. Cliffs are strong, permanent features.
1. Cliffs are formed only when steep rock faces the coast.
2. Cliffs are strong, permanent features.
Select the correct answer from the following codes
a. Only 1
b. Only 2
c. Both 1 and 2
d. Neither 1 nor 2
a. Only 1
b. Only 2
c. Both 1 and 2
d. Neither 1 nor 2
Answer: a
Explanation: The Cliffs are not permanent features. The rate of recession depends on its geological structure stratification, jointing of rocks and resistance to wave attack.
Q8. Consider the following statements
1. Beaches are the most dominant form of constructive work of sea
2. Coast lines are always formed by emergence. i.e. by uplift of land or a fall in sea level

Select the correct answer from the following codes
a. Only 1
b. Only 2
c. Both 1 and 2
d. Neither 1 nor 2
a. Only 1
b. Only 2
c. Both 1 and 2
d. Neither 1 nor 2
Answer: a
Explanation: Coast lines are also formed by emergence and submergence.
Q9. Which of the following is true about types of Coast?
1. Sinking of land and rise of sea are coastlines of submergence.
2. Uplift of land or a fall in Sea level is coast lines of emergence.
1. Sinking of land and rise of sea are coastlines of submergence.
2. Uplift of land or a fall in Sea level is coast lines of emergence.
Select the correct answer from the following codes
a. Only 1
b. Only 2 and 3
c. Only 1 and 2
d. 1,2 and 3
a. Only 1
b. Only 2 and 3
c. Only 1 and 2
d. 1,2 and 3
Answer: c
Explanation: Coast lines of emergence are less common.
Q10. Which of the following are true about estuarine coast?
1. They are mouth of river in submerged low lands.
2. If their entrance is not silted, they make excellent sites for ports.
3. They are most suitable for sea ports.
1. They are mouth of river in submerged low lands.
2. If their entrance is not silted, they make excellent sites for ports.
3. They are most suitable for sea ports.
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
a. Only 1
b. Only 1 and 2
c. Only 2 and 3
d. 1,2 and 3
Answer: d
Explanation: Tidal effects further enhance the value of ports and even when there is little silting. Modern dredges help to keep the ports open all the time.
