Question 2 of 5
2. Question
2 points2. Which of the following is/are conventional sources of energy?
1. Tidal
2. Coal
3. Biomass
4. Solar
Select the correct answer using the code given below:Correct
Answer: A
Explanation:
• Non-conventional sources of energy-Energy generated by using wind, tides, solar , geothermal heat and biomass including farm animal waste as well as human excreta is known as non- conventional sources of energy .All these sources are renewable or inexhaustible and do not cause pollution.
• Conventional sources of energy- the energy sources which cannot be compensated, once these are used ( after their exploitation ) are termed as conventional energy sources eg- petroleum, natural gas , fuel wood, coal, hydropower.Incorrect

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
2 points3. Consider the following local winds:
1. Sirocco
2. Mistral
3. Foehn
4. Chinook
Which of the above is/are hot local winds?Correct
Answer: D
Explanation:
• Foehn and Chinook are the local winds of the temperate Continental climate. Foehn in Switzerland and chinook on the eastern slope of the rock has considerable effect on local pastures. There are hot winds and raise the temperature by about 4 to 5 degree Celsius, melting the snow in winter or early spring. It is beneficial for agriculture.
• Warm moist air moves from the Mediterranean region and brings precipitation on the southern slope of the eclipse. The air becomes warm due to adiabatic rise in temperature, loses its original characteristics and sends on the northern slope of the eclipse in Switzerland, Germany and Austria. The dry warm air is called Foehn.
• Sirocco and Mistral are the local winds of Mediterranean climate. Sirocco: hot dry dust that originates in the Sahara desert. It may occur at any time of the year but is most frequent in spring. It blows outward in a southern direction from desert interiors into the cooler Mediterranean sea. It is known by different names in different countries. Mistral is a cold wind from the North, rushing down the room valley in France over the Mediterranean sea.

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
2 points4. Which of the following statements is/are correct with reference to the Inter Tropical Convergence Zone?
1. It is a low-pressure zone located at the equator where trade winds converge.
2. In this zone where air tends to descend.
3. In July, it is located around 200 N – 250 N.
Select the correct answer using the code given below:Correct
Answer: B
Explanation:
• Inter Tropical Convergence Zone is a low-pressure zone located at the equator where trade winds converge, and so, it is a zone where air tends to ascend. In July ITCZ is located around 200 N – 250 N (where over the Gangetic Plains), sometimes called as monsoon trough. This monsoon trough encourages the development of thermal low over the north and northwest India. Due to the shift of ITCZ apparent movement of the sun, the trade winds of the southern hemisphere cross the equator between 40-degree and 60-degree east longitude and start blowing from southwest to northwest due to the Coriolis force. It’s the southwest monsoon. In winter the ITCZ moves southwest, takes place. They are called the northeast monsoon.Incorrect
