Question 1 of 5
1. Question
2 points1. Which of the following are the “pull factors” for rural to urban migration?
1. High population pressure on land.
2. Better opportunities for education.
3. Availability of regular work.
4. Lack of infrastructural facilities.
Select the correct answer using the code given below:Correct
Answer- B
Explanation
• People, generally, are emotionally attached to their place of birth. But millions of people leave their places of birth and residence. There could be a variety of regions. These reasons can be put into two broad categories: (1) Push factor, these cause people to leave their place of Residence or origin: and (2) full factor, which attracts the people from different places.
• In India people migrate from rural to urban areas mainly due to poverty, high population pressure on the land, lack of basic infrastructure facilities like Healthcare education etc. apart from these factors natural disaster such as floods, droughts, cyclonic storms, earthquake, Tsunami, was and local conflicts also give extra push to migrate.
• On the other hand, I pull factors which attract people from rural areas to cities. The most important pull factor for the majority of the rural migrants to urban areas is the better opportunities, availability of regular work and relatively higher wages. Better opportunities for education, better health facilities and sources of entertainment, also quite important pull factor.Incorrect

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
2 points2. Floods caused due to outburst of glacial lakes are known as glacial lakes outburst floods. Consider the following factors:
1. Unpredictable monsoon rainfall patterns.
2. Slash and burn agriculture.
3. Earthquake.
4. Long term land degradation
Which of the factors given above can trigger Glacier lakes outburst flood?Correct
Answer- D
Explanation
● Glacial lakes outburst floods (GLOFS): Floods caused due to outburst of glacial lakes is known as GLOF. The moraine wall acts as a natural Dam, trapping the melt water from the Glacier and leading to the formation of glacial lake.
Factors triggering GLOFS:
○ Retreat of glaciers and change in radiative balance in the region in the wake of global warming,
○ Increasing erratic and unpredictable monsoon rainfall patterns and increasing climatic variability.
○ Anthropogenic activities such as mass tourism: Development intervention such as roads and hydro power projects: and the practice of slash and Burn type of farming in certain pockets of the Indian Himalayan region.
○ Black carbon also plays an important factor which melts the eyes on the mountain due to the albedo effect.
○ Other factors like cascading processes (flood from a Lake situated upstream), earthquake, long term degradation of land also triggers GLOFs.Incorrect

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
2 points3. Along which of the following plate boundaries, the crust is either destroyed or created?
1. Convergent plate boundary
2. Divergent boundary
3. Transform boundary
Select the correct answer using the code given below:Correct
Answer- B
Explanation
● Option 1 is correct: a convergent boundary is where the crust is destroyed as one plate dives under another. The location where the sinking of a plate occurs is called a subduction zone. There are three ways in which convergence can occur. These are:(1) between an oceanic and Continental plate; (2) between two oceanic plates; and (3) Between two Continental plates.
● Option 2 is correct: A divergent boundary is where a new crust is created(generated) as the plates fill away from each other. The sides where the plates move away from each other are called spreading sites.
● Option 3 is not correct: A transformer boundary is where the crust is neither produced nor destroyed as the plates slide horizontally past each other. Transform faults are the Planes of separation generally perpendicular mid oceanic ridges.Incorrect

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
2 points4. With reference to differential heating of land and water, consider the following statement:
1. As compared to land, water heats up or cools down slowly.
2. Differential heating of land and sea is responsible for the reversal in the direction of monsoon winds.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?Correct
Answer- C
Explanation
● India’s flanked by the Indian Ocean on three sides in the south and grilled by a high and continuous mountain wall in the north.
● As compared to the land mass, water heats up or cools down slowly. This differential heating of land and sea creates different air pressure zones in different seasons in and around the Indian subcontinent.
● The difference in air pressure causes a reversal in the direction of monsoon winds.
● Hence, both the statements are correct.Incorrect
