Consider the following statements about Boreal Summer Intra Seasonal Oscillation (BSISO):
BSISO is the movement of convection from the Indian Ocean to the western Pacific Ocean roughly every 10-50 days during the summer season (March-May)
BSISO is one of the most prominent sources of short-term climate variability in the global monsoon system.
Active phases of BSISO induce high wave activity in the north Indian Ocean and the Arabian Sea.
Compared with the related Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) it is simpler in nature

Which of the following statements is not correct regarding the Shola forests?
Correct
ANSWER: B
Explanation
The Sholas are found in the upper reaches of the Nilgiris, Anamalais, Palni hills, Kalakadu, Mundanthurai and Kanyakumari in the states of Tamil Nadu and Kerala. The vegetation that grows in Shola forests is evergreen.
The trees are stunted and have many branches. Their rounded and dense canopies appear in different colours. Generally, the leaves are small in size and leathery.
Red-coloured young leaves turning into different colours on maturity is a prominent characteristic of the Shola forests.
These forests are found sheltered in valleys with sufficient moisture and proper drainage, at an altitude of more than 1,500 metres. The upper reaches are covered with grasslands, known as Shola grasslands.
The Sholas are not of any great importance from a commercial point of view, as the trees are slow-growing varieties that produce timber of little or no value and probably take at least a century to mature. But Sholas play a major role in conserving the water supply of the Nilgiris’ streams.
