1 pointsConsider the following statements about Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ)
1. ITCZ is an area encircling the Earth near the Equator, where the northeast and southeast trade winds converge.
2. ITCZ is also known as doldrums.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?Correct
Both the statements are correct.
The Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), known by sailors as the doldrums, is the area encircling Earth near the Equator, where the northeast and southeast trade winds converge.
In the north Atlantic and the northeastern Pacific oceans, tropical waves move along the axis of the ITCZ causing an increase in thunderstorm activity, and under weak vertical wind shear, these clusters of thunderstorms can become tropical cyclones.Incorrect

2. Question
1 pointsWith reference to dew point, consider the following statements
1. Dew point is the temperature at which the atmosphere is saturated with water vapour, when it is cooled without changing its pressure or vapour content.
2. The dew point gives an indication of the humidity.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?Correct
Both the statements are correct.
Dew point, the temperature at which the atmosphere is saturated with water vapour, when it is cooled without changing its pressure or vapour content.

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
1 pointsSerengeti National Park is located in which of the following countries?
Correct
Since 1974, the population of herbivorous in Gir forest has been on the rise. In 2013, the population of ungulates was estimated to be 1,26,893 or 76.49 animals per square kilometres. That translates to 8000 kg of biomass available to carnivorous, very close to the levels in Serengeti National Park in Tanzania.
