hello guys I opted zoology and it proved to be disaster for me although I have Done my BS in zoology.. now am thinking to opt geography for 2014... paper 1 seems very easy and paper 2 also depends on your knowledge and current affair issues.... so can I opt geography for 2014 .... I want to know about books for geography preparation and syllabus

PART- l (MCQs) (COMPULSORY)
Q.1 (1) The smallest scale maps are (a) Topographical (b) Cadastral (c) Atlas (d) None of theses Atlas maps show the whole world, most of the times. So they are the smallest scale maps. (2) The area between 50 and 70 degree longitude East on a map is (a) Zone (b) Gore (c) Graticule (d) None of theses A graticule is a mesh of area between lines of latitudes and longitudes. So this particular graticule is between 50 and 70 degrees longitude and includes all lines of latitude (3) A sector diagram is also called : (a) Histogram (b) Bar diagram (c) Pie diagram (d) None of theses (4) Mercator's projection is unsuitable for (a) Canada (b) Pakistan (c) Mexico (d) All of theses Canada is in subpolar region. Mercator largely distorts its area (5) The greatest annual variation in intensity of direct solar illumination occurs in (a) Temperate zone (b) Polar areas (c) Near to tropic (d) None of theses Temperate zones have hot summers and cold winters, thus the largest variations of insolation occur over there. (6) Psychometric measures : (a) Absolute humidity (b) Relative humidity (c) Precipitation (d) None of theses Relative Humidity (7) Mediterranean climate region has dry summer due to the influence of (a) ITC (b) Onshore Trade winds (c) Subtropical highs (d) None of theses Subtropical Highs. The high pressure makes anti-cyclones which are defined by descending and diverging air. It takes away much of the moisture. (8) How many cal per cm square per minutes the approximate solar constant (a) 3.00 (b) 2.00 (c) 1.00 (d) None of theses It is 1.94 calories per square centimeter per minute (1.94 cal/cm2/min). As they have asked for the approximate value, so we will round it off to 2 cal/cm2/minute (9) Land breeze is an example of (a) Vortex (b) Geostrophic wind (c) Convection cell (d) None of theses Convection cell. Both land and sea breezes are example of convection current. (10) When surface waters in the eastern Pacific are colder than normal, the climate event is called: (a) La Nina (b) El Nino (c) Micro-climate (d) None of theses La Nina. It's because of Cold surface water in the Eastern Pacific. (11) The deepest ocean trench is situated in (a) Southern Indian Ocean (b) Northern Atlantic Ocean (c) Southern Pacific Ocean (d) None of theses It's located in the Western Pacific near Japan which also makes it in the North Pacific Ocean. (12) Saline ocean water freezes only when the temperature drops to : (a) --2.9 degree C (b) --0.9 degree C (c) --1.9 degree C (d) None of theses At typical salinity it freezes at about −2 °C according to Wikipedia which is close to -1.9 deg (13) The hydrological cycle is driven by the energy of: (a) Tides (b) Waves (c) Currents (d) None of these Every cycle is driven by the energy of sun, except only those which are driven by the energy within the Earth. But it could also be loosely driven by Currents, the pressure gradient that makes the currents flow. They thus have this energy. (14) Wind abrasion is most powerful above the ground up to the height of: (a) 3 meters (b) 2 meters (c) 1 meter (d) None of theses Now wind abrasion acts on the ground. What has it got to with the height above the ground. I did not find any of the figure in a Geography book. It might be a trick question and it's answer is None of these. (15) Deposition of basic lava results in the formation of: (a) Strato volcano (b) Composite cone (c) Shield volcano (d) None of theses Basic lava spreads out because it is non-sticky, making a shield-dome like structure (16) 1 unit increases on the Richter scale means an increase in energy release of an earthquake by: (a) 10.7 fold (b) 31.7 fold (c) 41.7 fold (d) None of theses Each 1-unit increase in the Richter Scale roughly corresponds to a 30-fold increase in energy releas according to http://www.seis.utah.edu/qfacts/genfaq.shtml (17) Parallel arrangement of platy minerals in metamorphic rocks is called: (a) Crystallization (b) Foliation (c) Compaction (d) None of theses (18) What is the best description for Asthenosphere.? (a) Hot, ductile with deformable rocks (b) Weak, hot with rigid rocks (c) Less dense and more plastic rocks (d) None of theses (19) Paternoster lakes are formed due to: (a) Continental glacial erosion (b) Glacial-fluvial deposition (c) Alpine glacial deposition (d) None of theses (20) Classification of air-messes depends on their: (a) Temperature and humidity (b) Temperature and pressure (c) Pressure and humidity (d) None of theses Examples Cold-Dry, Hot-Moist |
