Question 2 of 5
2. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements about Earthquake
1. All natural earthquakes take place in the lithosphere.
2. The denser the material, the lower is the velocity of the earthquake waves.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?Correct
Statement 1 is correct while statement 2 is incorrect.
All natural earthquakes take place in the lithosphere.
Earthquake waves are basically of two types — body waves and surface waves. Body waves are generated due to the release of energy at the focus and move in all directions travelling through the body of the earth. The body waves interact with the surface rocks and generate new set of waves called surface waves. These waves move along the surface. The velocity of waves changes as they travel through materials with different densities. The denser the material, the higher is the velocity.Incorrect

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements regarding Real effective exchange rate (REER)
1. REER compares a nation’s currency value against the weighted average of the currencies of its major trading partners.
2. An increase in a nation’s REER is an indication that its exports are becoming more expensive and its imports are becoming cheaper.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?Correct
Both the statements are correct.
The NEER is an index of the weighted average of bilateral exchange rates of home currency vis-a-vis currencies of trading partners, with weights derived from their shares in the trade basket of the home currency. A REER is the NEER adjusted by relative prices or costs, typically captured in inflation differentials between the home economy and trading partners.
An increase in a nation’s REER is an indication that its exports are becoming more expensive and its imports are becoming cheaper. It is losing its trade competitiveness.Incorrect

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements given below
1. Global warming potential (GWP) is a measure of how much energy the emissions of 1 ton of any greenhouse gas (GHG) will absorb over a given period of time, relative to the emissions of 1 ton of carbon dioxide (CO2).
2. The larger the GWP, the more that a given GHG warms the Earth compared to CO2 over that time period.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?Correct
Both the statements are correct.
The Global Warming Potential (GWP) was developed to allow comparisons of the global warming impacts of different greenhouse gases. Specifically, it is a measure of how much energy the emissions of 1 ton of any greenhouse gas will absorb over a given period of time, relative to the emissions of 1 ton of carbon dioxide (CO2).
The larger the GWP, the more that a given gas warms the Earth compared to CO2 over that time period. The time period usually used for GWPs is 100 years.Incorrect
