10 Question MCQ (including Assertion)

Question 1 of 10

Arrange the following stages of how convection currents move tectonic plates in chronological order and choose the correct option:
I. Cooler material sinks back down towards the core
II. This continuous looping motion pushes and pulls the plates above
III. Heat rising from the Earth's core makes mantle material rise
IV. The rising material cools as it nears the top of the mantle

A IV, III, I and II B III, IV, I and II C III, I, IV and II D II, IV, I and III

Select one option. Answers are shown after the test.

Question 2 of 10

Column A	Column B
(i) Continental plate	(a) Pacific Plate
(ii) Oceanic plate	(b) African Plate
(iii) Mixed plate	(c) Carries both land and ocean floor, the Indian Plate
(iv) Largest plate	(d) Carries ocean floors, with a thinner crust

Match the following items given in Column A with those in Column B, and choose the correct option:

A i-d, ii-b, iii-c, iv-a B i-b, ii-c, iii-d, iv-a C i-b, ii-d, iii-c, iv-a D i-a, ii-d, iii-c, iv-b

Select one option. Answers are shown after the test.

Question 3 of 10

Assertion (A): Mud volcanoes such as the one at Baratang Island erupt only underwater.

Reason (R): Mud volcanoes push out bubbling mud because of natural underground gases and pressure, and the Baratang mud volcano is found on Baratang Island, part of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.

A Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A. B Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A. C A is true, but R is false. D A is false, but R is true.

Select one option. Answers are shown after the test.

Question 4 of 10

Which plate boundary does give the San Andreas Fault as an example of?

A Convergent boundary B Divergent boundary C Transform boundary D None of these

Select one option. Answers are shown after the test.

Question 5 of 10

Arrange the following stages in the formation of a delta in chronological order and choose the correct option:
I. The river deposits its sediment at its mouth
II. A fan-shaped or triangular area of land builds up over time
III. A river slows down as it enters its lower course
IV. The river carries sediment downstream from its upper course

A IV, III, I and II B III, IV, I and II C IV, I, III and II D II, III, I and IV

Select one option. Answers are shown after the test.

Question 6 of 10

Assertion (A): Earthquakes in India occur only in Kutch, Gujarat.

Reason (R): The Indian plate pushing into the Eurasian plate makes both the Himalayan belt and north-west India earthquake-prone.

A Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A. B Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A. C A is true, but R is false. D A is false, but R is true.

Select one option. Answers are shown after the test.

Question 7 of 10

Statement I: A convergent boundary is where two plates move apart from each other.

Statement II: A divergent boundary is where magma rises and new crust forms.

Which of the above is correct?

A Both Statement I and Statement II are true B Both Statement I and Statement II are false C Statement I is true, Statement II is false D Statement I is false, Statement II is true

Select one option. Answers are shown after the test.

Question 8 of 10

What actually causes tectonic plates to move, once they rest on the asthenosphere?

A Ocean waves pushing them from above B Convection currents, a looping flow of heat in the mantle where hot material rises and cooler material sinks C Sunlight heating the crust D Wind pressure on the surface

Select one option. Answers are shown after the test.

Question 9 of 10

Assertion (A): Fold mountains such as the Himalaya are formed at convergent, continent–continent plate boundaries.

Reason (R): At this type of boundary, two continental plates push towards each other and the land folds upward because neither plate easily sinks beneath the other.

A Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A. B Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A. C A is true, but R is false. D A is false, but R is true.

Select one option. Answers are shown after the test.

Question 10 of 10

'Barchan, star, parabolic dune' are listed as landforms wind creates 'by deposition'. What is the figure showing?

A A river forming a delta B Wind depositing sand to form a dune C A glacier depositing a moraine D Underground water forming a cave

Select one option. Answers are shown after the test.
