Consider the following observations:
The uniform velocity of earthquake waves inside the earth.
Refraction of earthquake waves takes place while passing through the interior of the earth.
P-waves passes through the earth’s core while S-waves do not pass through it.
Which of the above observations is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: B
Explanation:
Statement 1 is incorrect: Different earthquake waves have different velocities while passing through earth. This shows that composition and density of material goes on changing continuously.
Statement 2 is correct: Refraction of earthquake waves take place while passing through interior of the earth. It shows that medium is changing continuously inside the earth.
Statement 3 is correct: P-waves passes through earth’s core while S-waves do not pass through it. It shows that outer core is in liquid state as S-waves only pass-through solids while P-waves pass through solid, liquid and gases.

Consider the following statements:
The earth’s magnetic field is formed due to processes in the mantle part of the earth.
Magnetic poles and geographic poles of the earth are the same.
Magnetic poles have reversed in the geological past of the earth.
Which of the above-given statements is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: C
Explanation:
Statement 1 is incorrect: The earth’s magnetic field is formed due to processes in the core part of the earth.
Statement 2 is incorrect: Magnetic poles and geographic poles of the earth are not the same. However, presently the magnetic poles are close to the geographic poles.
Statement 3 is correct: In the geological history of the earth, positions of magnetic north and magnetic south have interchanged. This process is called geomagnetic reversal.

Consider the following:
Ocean floor mapping
Study of the age of rocks of oceanic crust
Jig-Saw fit
Paleo magnetic studies
Which of the above supports the hypothesis of Seafloor spreading?
Correct
Answer: D
Explanation:
The seafloor spreading hypothesis is based on the following:
Ocean floor mapping
Convection current theory
Study of the age of rocks of oceanic crust
Paleomagnetic studies
Note: ‘Jig-Saw fit’ is evidence in support of Continental Drift theory of Wegener.
