Question 91. When following fissures in the rocks, its both parts slide in front and one part slides over the other, the resulting feature is
  1.    Reverse fault
  2.    Lateral fault
  3.    Normal fault
  4.    Step fault
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Reverse fault
Answer: (a)
When the following fissures in the rocks it’s both parts slide in front and one part slides over the other, the resulting feature is Reverse fault.
Reverse faults are exactly the opposite of normal faults. If the hanging wall rises relative to the footwall, you have a reverse fault.
Question 92. What is the epicentre of an Earthquake?
  1.    The point from which the intensity of seismic waves declines
  2.    The point at which earthquake originates
  3.    The point on the earth’s surface vertically above the seismic focus
  4.    The point which is prone to volcanoes
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> The point on the earth’s surface vertically above the seismic focus
Answer: (c)
The epicentre is the point on the Earth's surface that is directly above the hypocenter or focus, the point where an earthquake or underground explosion originates.
In the case of earthquakes, the epicentre is directly above the point where the fault begins to rupture, and in most cases, it is the area of greatest damage.
Question 93. Blind Valley is found in
  1.    Icy Region
  2.    Karst Region
  3.    Tundra Region
  4.    Dry Region
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Karst Region
Answer: (b)
Question 94. Which of the following is a typical feature of river erosion in the youthful stage?
  1.    Valley in valley
  2.    Ox-bow lake
  3.    Cut-bank
  4.    Gorge
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Gorge
Answer: (d)
Youthful drivers or streams are typically found in the highland or mountainous areas. They are characterized by steep slopes, a relatively small volume of water and rapid flow. Soil particles carried by youthful streams flow along the ground, wearing downhill slopes as the water flows down.
In this youthful stage of the river, such features as small lakes, waterfalls, rapids, V-shaped valleys, gorges and interlocking spurs are frequently found.
Question 95. Prime Meridian passes through
  1.    New York
  2.    Greenwich
  3.    Tokyo
  4.    Ujjain
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Greenwich
Answer: (b)

An international conference in 1884 decided the prime meridian passes through the Royal Observatory, Greenwich in southeast London, United Kingdom, known simply as the prime meridian.
Question 96. Which of the following mountains is located in Germany?
  1.    Pyrenees
  2.    Black Forest
  3.    Apennines
  4.    Atlas
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Black Forest
Answer: (b)

Question 98. Quartzite is metamorphosed from
  1.    sandstone
  2.    limestone
  3.    shale
  4.    plutonic rock
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> sandstone
Answer: (a)Sandstone is converted into quartzite through heating and pressure. Thus, Quartzite is metamorphosed from sandstone.
Question 99. The Kalahari Desert lies in

  1. Botswana

  1.    Sandstone
  2.    Limestone
  3.    Shale
  4.    Obsidian
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Sandstone
Answer: (a)Quartzite is a non-foliated metamorphic rock composed almost entirely of quartz. It forms when quartz-rich sandstone is altered by the heat, pressure, and chemical activity of metamorphism.
