Correct
Explanation:
Energetic electrically charged particles (mostly electrons) accelerate along the magnetic field lines into atmosphere (earth), where they collide with gas atoms, causing the atoms to give off lightIncorrect

Question 6 of 10
6. Question
“Denudation “refers to:
Correct
Explanation: Denudation is the long-term sum of processes that cause the wearing away of the earth’s surface leading to a reduction in elevation and relief of landforms and landscapes. Endogenous processes such as volcanoes, earthquakes, and plate tectonics uplift and expose continental crust to the exogenous denudation processes of weathering, erosion, and mass wasting.

Question 7 of 10
7. Question
Consider the following statements:
1. The distance between two latitudes remains same throughout the globe and is 111 km approximately. 2. The distance between two longitudes remains same. 3. The distance between longitudes at the equator is almost equal to the distance between latitudes. 4. Latitudes converge at poles.Correct
Explanation: Distance Between Degrees of Latitude: Degrees of latitude are parallel so, for the most part, the distance between each degree remains constant. However, the earth is slightly elliptical in shape and that creates a small variation between the degrees as we work our way from the equator to the north and south poles. • Each degree of latitude is approximately 69 miles (111 kilometers) apart. • At the equator, the distance is 68.703 miles (110.567 kilometers). • At the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn (23.5° north and south), the distance is 68.94 miles (110.948 kilometers). • At each of the poles, the distance is 69.407 miles (111.699 kilometers). Distance Between Degrees of Longitude: Unlike latitude, the distance between degrees of longitude varies greatly. They are farthest apart at the equator and converge at the poles. • A degree of longitude is widest at the equator with a distance of 69.172 miles (111.321 kilometers). • The distance gradually shrinks to zero as they meet at the poles. • At 40° north or south*, the distance between a degree of longitude is 53 miles (85 kilometers).

Question 10 of 10
10. Question
Consider the following statements about Loess: 1. These are blown from deserts and barren surfaces and deposited upon hills and valleys 2. Areas covered by Loess are infertile lands. 3. They are responsible for the formation of peneplain Select the correct answer using the code given below.
Correct
Explanation: Loess is a geologically recent deposit of silt or material which is usually yellowish or brown in color and consisting of tiny mineral particles brought by the wind to the places where they now lie. It is a product of past glacial activity in an area. It is a sedimentary deposit of mineral particles which are finer than sand but coarser than dust or clay, deposited by the wind. Loess is a type of silt which forms fertile topsoil in some parts of the world Loess is homogeneous, porous, friable, pale yellow or buff, slightly coherent, typically non-stratified and often calcareous. It is usually homogeneous and highly porous and is traversed by vertical capillaries that permit the sediment to fracture and form vertical bluffs.
