Question 443.Flash floods’ are associated with
  1.    Tsunami
  2.    Thunderstorms
  3.    Tornado
  4.    Cyclonic storms
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Cyclonic storms
Answer: (d)
A flash flood is a rapid flooding of geomorphic low-lying areas: washes, rivers, dry lakes and basins.
It may be caused by heavy rain associated with a severe thunderstorm, hurricane, tropical storm or cyclone, or melt-water from ice or snow flowing over ice sheets or snowfields.

Question 448. The temperature of water at the bottom of a large waterfall is higher than that of the water at the top. because
  1.    the kinetic energy of the falling water is converted into heat.
  2.    the falling water absorbs heat from the Sun.
  3.    rocks on the bed of the river give out heat.
  4.    the water at the bottom has greater potential energy.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> the kinetic energy of the falling water is converted into heat.
Answer: (a)The water gains kinetic energy as it falls down and loses its potential energy. Assuming no other losses, part of the kinetic energy gain of water is converted into heat, raising the temperature of water.
Question 449. Ice glacier’s melting is a common phenomenon linked to the rise in seawater level. The glaciers are predominantly present in
  1.    Himalayas
  2.    Greenland
  3.    Arctic
  4.    Antarctica
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Antarctica
Answer: (d)One of today’s prevalent water issues is the rise in sea level. It is mainly caused by two phenomena: global warming and ozone depletion. Polar ice caps in Antarctica and other places are melting fast. This has led to increase in sea level over the years.
Question 450. The area marked by internal drainage
  1.    Deserts
  2.    Plateau
  3.    Mountains
  4.    Plains
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Deserts
Answer: (a)
Internal drainage is a closed drainage basin that retains water and allows no outflow to other external bodies of water, such as rivers or oceans, but converges instead into lakes or swamps.
Such drainage can occur in any climate but are most commonly found in desert locations. For example, the Luni River in Rajasthan has an internal drainage system.
