Which of the above given statements are correct?
a. Only 1
b. Only 2
c. 1 and 2
d. All of the above
Ans: (d)
Explanation: The unconsolidated sediments derived from various sources deposited at the Sea floor are included in ocean deposits. The sediments derived from weathering and erosion of continental rocks are transported to the oceans by rivers, winds etc.
4. Consider the following statements:
1. In the regard of ocean deposits, the source of organic material is sea itself.
2. Organic material are grouped into two categories - nerretic matter and pelagic matter.
3. Nerretic matter consists of remains of different types of algae.
4. Pelagic matter includes skeleton of marine organisms and plant remains.
Which of the above given statements are correct?
a. Only1
b. Only 2
c. 1 and 2
d. All of the above.
Ans: (c)
Explanation: For Ocean deposits the source of organic material is sea itself. They include skeleton of marine organisms and plant remains. These materials are grouped into two types Nerretic matter and pelagic matter. Nerretic matter includes skeleton of marine organisms and plant remains whereas pelagic matter consists of remains of different types of algae.
5. Consider the following statements:
1. Tides are the most important of the all the oceanic movements.
2. The rise of sea water and its movements towards the coast is called the tide.
3. The sea waves generated by the Tides are called the Tidal waves.
4. There is much similarity in the height of high and low tides at different places in different oceans.
Which of the above given statements are correct?
a. Only 1
b. Only 2
c. 1,2 and 3
d. All of the above
Ans: (c)
Explanation: Waves, currents and tides have vital significance among the various types of oceanic movements but tides are the most important of all the oceanic movements because the tidal currents affect the whole tidal mass from the sea surface to the bottom. The rise and fall of sea water due to gravitational forces of the Sun and the Moon are called tides.
6. Consider the following statements:
1. The moon creates high tides than the Sun on the Earth’s water surface.
2. The cause of this is that the Moon is only 3,84,000 Km from the Earth.
3. Two Tides and Ebbs are experienced twice at every place on the Earth’s water surface within 12 hours.
4. Each day tide is experienced at the same time.
Which of the above given statements are correct?
a. Only 1
b. Only 2
c. 1 and 2
d. All of the above.
Ans: (c)
Explanation: The moon creates high tides than the Sun on the Earth’s water surface because of having greater gravitational force as the moon is only 3,84,000 Km from the Earth. Two Tides and Ebbs are experienced twice at every place on the Earth’s water surface within 24 hours. Each day tide is delayed by 26 minutes because the Moon also rotates on its axis while revolving around the Earth.
