Question 1 of 5
Which of the following factors can cause tsunamis in the ocean?
- Volcanic eruption
- A large meteorite strike
- Underwater landslide
- Undersea earthquakes
Select the correct code:
CorrectSolution: d)
A tsunami is a large ocean wave that is caused by sudden motion on the ocean floor. This sudden motion could be an earthquake, a powerful volcanic eruption, or an underwater landslide. The impact of a large meteorite could also cause a tsunami. Tsunamis travel across the open ocean at great speeds and build into large deadly waves in the shallow water of a shoreline.

Question 2 of 5
The impact of a tsunami is less over the ocean and more near the coast because
- Seismic forces are absent near coasts.
- Wavelength of tsunami water reduces as it approaches the coast.
Select the correct answer code:
CorrectSolution: b)
The speed of wave in the ocean depends upon the depth of water. It is more in the shallow water than in the ocean deep. As a result of this, the impact of tsunami is less over the
ocean and more near the coast where they cause large-scale devastations.
Seismic forces will be present wherever there is a play of tectonics, i.e. plate movements. Coastal belts are no exception.

Question 4 of 5
What is the correct sequence of occurrence of the rivers in Peninsular India as one proceeds from South to North?
- Ponnaiyar
- Krishna
- Palar
- Vamsadhara
Select the correct answer code:
-
Question 5 of 5
Most parts of India do not have rainfall in the winter season, because
- The wind moves from land to sea.
- Cyclonic circulation on land
- There is little humidity
Select the correct answer code:
CorrectSolution: a)
Winter monsoons do not cause rainfall as they move from land to the sea. It is because firstly, they have little humidity; and secondly, due to anti cyclonic circulation on land, the possibility of rainfall from them reduces. So, most parts of India do not have rainfall in the winter season.
