The Bhakra dam is 226 metres high and is one of the highest dams in the world.

The given statement, The heat from the sun reaches earth through Convection is FALSE.

Heat from the sun actually reaches the earth through Radiation. The process occurs through electromagnetic radiation, specifically, in which molecules are warmed when the heat reaches them, and these molecules then warm other molecules touching them, which continues until we feel the sun's heat.

The first step in the refining of petroleum is distillation i.e,  the fractionation of crude oil in atmospheric and vacuum distillation towers.

The first process petroleum refinery is known as distillation. In this process, crude oil is heated and fed into a distillation column. As the temperature of the crude oil in the distillation column rises, the crude oil separates itself into different components, called "fractions." The fractions are then captured separately. Each fraction corresponds to a different type of petroleum product, depending on the temperature at which that fraction boils off the crude oil mixture.
