1. Question
With reference to Geomorphology, their term ‘Esker’ and ‘Drumlin’ refers to?
CorrectGlacial Depositional Landforms:
Esker
• Winding ridge of un-assorted depositions of rock, gravel, clay etc. running along a glacier in a till plain.
• The eskers resemble the features of an embankment and are often used for making roads.Drumlin
• Inverted boat-shaped deposition in a till plain caused by deposition.IncorrectGlacial Depositional Landforms:

2. Question
Which among the following statement is incorrect?
CorrectThe Crust
- The crust is the outermost solid part of the earth.
- It is fragile.
- The thickness of the crust varies under the oceanic and continental areas.
- Oceanic crust is thinner as compared to the continental crust.
- The continental crust is thicker in the areas of major mountain systems.
- The crust is made up of heavier rocks having a density of 3 g/cm3.
- The kind of rock seen in the oceanic crust is basalt.
- The mean density of material in the oceanic crust is 2.7 g/cm3.
- Silica (Si) and Aluminium (Al) are major constituent minerals. Hence it is often termed as SIAL. Also, sometimes SIAL is used to refer to the Lithosphere.

3. Question
Consider the following statements:
1) The theory of Plate Tectonics was put forward by Alfred Wegener.
2) The theory held that convection currents in the mantle is responsible for the drag of crustal plates.
Which of the following statements is/are correct?
CorrectPlate Tectonics:
- In 1967, McKenzie and Parker suggested the theory of plate tectonics. Morgan later outlined the theory in 1968.
- Explains the Movement of Lithospheric plates that include both continents and oceans.
- Convection currents in the mantle drag crustal plates
- Helped us understand various geographical features.

4. Question
With reference to Plateau formation, consider the following statements about Dissected plateau:
1) A dissected plateau forms as a result of upward movement in the Earth’s crust.
2) The Colorado Plateau, in the western United States is an example of Dissected plateau.
Which of the following statements is/are correct?
CorrectBoth the statements are correct.
Dissected plateau
A dissected plateau forms as a result of upward movement in the Earth’s crust.
The uplift is caused by the slow collision of tectonic plates. The Colorado Plateau, in the western United States, Tibetan plateau etc. are examples.
