Question 3 of 5
3. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements about Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD).
1. The western Indian Ocean becomes alternately warmer and then colder than the eastern part of the ocean.
2. A study has demonstrated a significant correlation between the IOD and drought in the southern half of Australia.
3. IOD can either aggravate or weaken the impact of El Nino on Indian monsoon.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?Correct
The Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD), also known as the Indian Niño, is an irregular oscillation of sea-surface temperatures
in which the western Indian Ocean becomes alternately warmer and then colder than the eastern part of the ocean.
A 2009 study has demonstrated a significant correlation between the IOD and drought in the southern half of Australia, in particular the south-east.
During the Positive IOD, the eastern equatorial Indian Ocean off Sumatra in Indonesia becomes colder than normal while the western tropical part of the Indian Ocean near the African coast becomes unusually warm. This is beneficial for the monsoon.
During the Negative IOD the eastern equatorial Indian Ocean off Sumatra in Indonesia becomes abnormally warm while the western tropical part of the ocean near the African coast becomes relatively colder. This effect obstructs the progression of monsoon over India.Incorrect

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements regarding Red and Yellow Soil.
1. Red soil develops in areas of high rainfall in the eastern and southern part of the Deccan Plateau.
2. The soil looks yellow when it occurs in a hydrated form.
3. They are generally poor in Nitrogen and phosphorous and rich in humus.
Which of the above statements is/are incorrect?Correct
Red soil develops on crystalline igneous rocks in areas of low rainfall in the eastern and southern part of the Deccan Plateau. The soil develops a reddish colour due to a wide diffusion of iron in crystalline and metamorphic rocks. It
looks yellow when it occurs in a hydrated form. They are generally poor in nitrogen, phosphorous and humus.Incorrect
