🎯 Thank You for Participating!
We hope this quiz helped you revise important geography & environment topics for the UPSC CAPF-AC and other competitive exams.
Explanation:-
Que.1 :-
- Eastward travel - You subtract a day when crossing the International Date Line eastward (e.g., Tuesday → Monday).
- Westward travel - You add a day when crossing the International Date Line westward (e.g., Tuesday → Wednesday).
Que.2 :-
- Statement 3 - ❌ Incorrect - Salt weathering is primarily mechanical (physical) weathering, especially due to crystal growth and hydration pressure.
Que.3 :-
- Creep - ❌ Incorrect - Very slow movement of soil or debris.
- Solifluction - ❌ Incorrect - Slow flow of water-saturated soil over impermeable surfaces like frozen ground.
Que.7 :-
- Statement 1 - ❌ Incorrect - Neap tides occur approximately once every 14.77 days, which is about 7 days after a Spring tide. So, interval between two consecutive neap tides is roughly 14 to 15 days.
- 7-day interval is between Spring and Neap tides not to two consecutive Neap tides.
