Question 1 of 5
1. Question
1 pointsWhich of the following conditions given below are essential for the emergence of a tropical cyclone?
1. Large and continuous supply of warm and moist air.
2. Strong Coriolis force
3. Strong vertical wind
4. Unstable condition through the Troposphere
Select the correct answer using the codes given belowCorrect
1, 2 and 4 are correct.
The conditions for the emergence of a tropical cyclone are:
(i) Large and continuous supply of warm and moist air that can release enormous latent heat.
(ii) Strong Coriolis force that can prevent filling of low pressure at the centre (absence of Coriolis force near the equator prohibits the formation of tropical cyclone between 0°-5° latitude).
(iii) Unstable condition through the troposphere that creates local disturbances around which a cyclone develops.
(iv) Finally, absence of strong vertical wind wedge, which disturbs the vertical transport of latent heat.Incorrect

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
1 pointsWhich of the statements given below about Dew point is/are correct?
1. Dew point is the temperature at which the atmosphere is saturated with water vapour.
2. A higher dew point means there will be less moisture in the air.
Select the correct answer using the codes given belowCorrect
Statement 1 is correct while statement 2 is incorrect.
Dew point, the temperature at which the atmosphere is saturated with water vapour, when it is cooled without changing its pressure or vapour content. A given volume of air containing much water vapour has a higher dew point than the same volume of drier air; thus the dew point gives an indication of the humidity.
A higher dew point means there will be more moisture in the air.Incorrect

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
1 pointsWhich of the following statements about Coriolis force is/are correct?
1. It results from the Earth’s revolution around the Sun.
2. It deflects winds towards the right in Northern Hemisphere and left in Southern hemisphere.
Select the correct answer using the codes given belowCorrect
Statement 1 is incorrect while statement 2 is correct.
Coriolis force is formed due to rotation of earth not revolution. It deflects winds towards the right in Northern Hemisphere and left in Southern hemisphere.Incorrect
Statement 1 is incorrect while statement 2 is correct.
Coriolis force is formed due to rotation of earth not revolution. It deflects winds towards the right in Northern Hemisphere and left in Southern hemisphere. -
Question 4 of 5
4. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements given below regarding National Programme for Organic Production (NPOP)
1. It grants organic farming certification through a process of third-party certification.
2. It is implemented by Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?Correct
Statement 1 is correct while statement 2 is incorrect.
NPOP grants organic farming certification through a process of third-party certification. It involves the accreditation programme for Certification Bodies, standards for organic production, promotion of organic farming etc.
It is implemented by the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA), Ministry of Commerce and Industry.Incorrect

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
1 pointsWhich of the following statements with respect to White-bellied Heron is/are correct?
1. It is endemic to Rockies mountain ranges.
2. It is listed as critically endangered in IUCN-red list
Select the correct answer using the codes given belowCorrect
Statement 1 is incorrect while statement 2 is correct.
It is one of the rarest birds in the world. At present, it is found only in Bhutan, Myanmar and the Namdapha Tiger Reserve in Arunachal Pradesh, India. But the bird has also recorded in the Kamlang Tiger Reserve in Lohit district in Arunachal Pradesh through camera trap images.
It is listed as Critically Endangered (CE) in the IUCN-red list and in Indian Wildlife Protection Act, 1972 under Schedule IV.Incorrect
