1. The enclosed seas in the low latitudes have lower temperature than the open seas.
2. The enclosed seas in the high latitudes have higher temperature than the open seas.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?Correct
Both the statements are incorrect.
The enclosed seas in the low latitudes record relatively higher temperature than the open seas whereas the enclosed seas in the high latitudes have lower temperature than the open seas.Incorrect

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
1 pointsWhich of the following events given below add carbon dioxide to the carbon cycle on the planet Earth?
1. Volcanic Eruptions
2. Respiration
3. Photosynthesis
4. Decay of Organic Matter
Select the correct answer using the codes given belowCorrect
1, 2 and 4 are correct.
Volcanic eruptions emit water vapour and toxic gases into the atmosphere such as carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide, hydrogen sulphide, hydrochloric acid and carbon monoxide.
Breathing (or respiration, or ventilation) is the process of moving air into and out of the lungs to facilitate gas exchange with the internal environment, mostly by bringing in oxygen and flushing out carbon dioxide.
Photosynthesis takes in the carbon dioxide produced by all breathing organisms and reintroduces oxygen into the atmosphere.
Decay of organic matter or putrefaction utilize the remains of once-living tissue as a source of nutrition. In the decomposition process, different products are released: carbon dioxide (CO2), energy, water, plant nutrients and re-synthesized organic carbon compounds.Incorrect

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
1 pointsWhich of the following processes are included in Diastrophism?
1. Orogenic movement
2. Epeirogenic movement
3. Earthquake
4. Plate tectonics
Select the correct answer using the codes given belowCorrect
All processes that move, elevate or build up portions of the earth’s crust come under diastrophism. They include:
(i) orogenic processes involving mountain building through severe folding and affecting long and narrow belts of the earth’s crust;
(ii) epeirogenic processes involving uplift or warping of large parts of the earth’s crust;
(iii) earthquakes involving local relatively minor movements;
(iv) plate tectonics involving horizontal movements of crustal plates.Incorrect

1 pointsWhich of the following institutions implements The Mitigation of Climate Change in Agriculture (MICCA) programme?
Correct
The Mitigation of Climate Change in Agriculture (MICCA) programme strengthens FAO’s longstanding work to address climate change in the agriculture, forestry and fisheries sectors and supports countries participating in the climate change negotiation processes within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
1 pointsMucormycosis, sometimes seen in news, is caused by which of the following microorganisms?
Correct
Mucormycosis (previously called zygomycosis) is also known as Black Fungus infection. It is a serious but rare fungal infection caused by a group of molds called mucormycetes. These molds are present naturally in the environment.
The infection can occur in almost any part of the body. However, the infection is not contagious. This means that it cannot transmit between people or between people and animals.Incorrect
