Question Round Brought to you By http://clickformba.tripod.com Pradeep D C

Question 1 A day is added when a man crosses the International Date Line from North to South North to East East to West South to West East to West

Question 2 In a Tropical Cyclone, pressure Increases towards the center Decreases towards the center & wind moves in an anticlockwise direction in the northern hemisphere Does not vary appreciably First decreases towards the center & then increases Decreases towards the center & wind moves in an anticlockwise direction in the northern hemisphere

Dry summers & wet winters Question 3 Regions lying on the western margins of the continents between 30 degree & 40 degree North have Dry summer & wet winters Rainfall all the year Dry climate all the year Wet summers & warm winters Dry summers & wet winters

Equatorial Regions Question 4 The heaviest rainfall is recorded in Mediterranean Regions Temperate Regions Equatorial Regions Tropical mountain areas Equatorial Regions

Between 30 degree to 60 degree North & South latitudes of the Equator Question 5 Westerlies are the winds blowing over Polar Regions Land to sea during night & sea to land during the day The different direction depending upon the season Between 30 degree to 60 degree North & South latitudes of the Equator Between 30 degree to 60 degree North & South latitudes of the Equator

Permanent Winds Question 6 Ocean Currents are caused by Westerlies Periodic Winds Permanent Winds Monsoon Winds Permanent Winds

Question 7 The counter equatorial ocean currents are due to the Earth’s Rotation Difference in salinity of water Convergence of two equatorial currents Occurrence of the belts of calm near Equator Earth’s Rotation

Question 8 Which one of the following currents is a cold current? Benguela Gulf Stream Kurosiwo Brazil Benguela

Question 9 The Mediterranean regions are characterized by heavy rain in Winter Summer Spring Autumn Winter

Never change their directions Question 10 Planetary winds are those winds Change their direction with the change of season Change their direction with day & night Never change their direction Blow up mountain slopes Never change their directions
