General Knowledge Questions

Budapest is the capital of Hungary

*  The Gulf of Mexico, bordered by the United States, Mexico, and the island nation of Cuba, is the worlds largest gulf.

*  It has a coastline of about 5,000 kilometers (3,100 miles).

*  The Gulf of Mexico is connected to the Atlantic Ocean by the Straits of Florida, between Cuba and the U.S. state of Florida.

*  It is largely surrounded by the North American continent.

Kinetic Energy K.E = 12mV2  or 

K.E ∝V2, Where 'm' is the mass and 'v' is the velocity of molecules.

Velocity is proportional to temperature. Hence, KE is proportional to temperature and would increase with temperature.

The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur has collaborated with the British Geological Survey (BGS) to turn Varanasi into a smart city. As part of the project, three dimensional geological modelling of the geology under Varanasi will be prepared to help improve the building of new transport and service infrastructure. The project includes application of geo-scientific methods like drilling, geological, geophysical, tectonics, hydrogeological and remote sensing. It would be the first major 3D subsurface urban study and planning of its kind in India, with the ultimate aim of developing methodologies and input of suburban geology for planning and hazard risk assessment. The purpose of the project is to develop the methodologies and approaches of urban geosciences and engineering of Varanasi as a pilot for other Indian cities.
