Q:

What is the Focus of an Earthquake?

Answer

A Focus of an earthquake is the location where the earthquake begins. The ground ruptures at this spot, then seismic waves radiate outward in all directions.

At this focus point, the release of energy due to faulting actually occurs during an earthquake. The point directly above the focus on the surface is called Epicenter.


The focus is also called as Hypocenter as it is the synonym of the focus.

Q:

Which is not a benefit of burning garbage for fuel?

A) It creates more space for farming B) It produces methane that can be used like natural gas
C) It partially addresses the solid waste disposal problem D) It provides biomass energy
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) It creates more space for farming

Explanation:

Garbage burning is common in rural areas, but it poses health concerns and hazards to the environment. It especially affects people with sensitive respiratory systems, as well as children and the elderly.

 

Benefits ::

  • It produces methane that can be used like natural gas.
  • It partially addresses the solid waste disposal problem.
  • It provides biomass energy.

 

Hence, it creates more space for farming is not the benefit of the burning garbage.

Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives and click the button corresponding to it.


Crude mineral oil comes out of the earth as a thick brown or black liquid with a strong smell. It is a complex mixture of many different substances, each with its own individual qualities. Most of them are combinations of hydrogen and carbon in varying proportions. Such hydrocarbons are also found in other forms such as bitumen, asphalt and natural gas. Mineral oil originates from the carcasses of tiny animals and from plants that live in the sea. Over million of years, these dead creatures form large deposits under sea­bed and ocean currents cover them with a blanket of sand and silt. As this material hardens, it becomes sedimentary rock and effectively shuts out the oxygen, thus preventing the complete decomposition of the marine deposits underneath. The layers of sedimentary rocks become thicker, and heavier. Their pressure produces heat, which transforms the tiny carcasses into crude oil in a process that is still going on today.


The time taken for the marine deposits to harden into rocks is

A) a few centuries B) millions of years
C) a few decades D) thousands of years
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) millions of years

Q:

A passage is given with 5 questions following it. Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives.


The quest to find life outside the solar system got a big boost with the discovery of seven Earth-size extra-solar planets, or exoplanets, orbiting a dwarf star about 40 light years away. Unlike earlier discoveries of exoplanets, all seven planets could possibly have liquid water — a key to life as we know it on Earth — with three planets having the greatest chance. This is by far the largest collection of Earth-like planets in the habitable 'Goldilocks' zone of a star — neither too close nor too far from a star, which raises the possibility of liquid water being present on the surface. Only Earth has liquid water in the solar system. Since the dwarf star is much cooler than the Sun, the dimming of light each time a planet passes or transits before the star could be easily recorded from Earth unlike in cases when planets transit a Sun-like bright star. Since the initial discovery of three planets was made using the Chile-based Transiting Planets and Planetesimals Small Telescope, the exoplanet system is called TRAPPIST-1.

 

What is the 'Goldilocks' zone?

A) It is a mythological place about stars and planets B) That place on a planet which has lowest possibility of liquid water.
C) The correct distance of a planet from its star to have possibility of having liquid water D) That place on a planet which has the right amount of sunlight
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) The correct distance of a planet from its star to have possibility of having liquid water
