[B][/B].Geography is back with a bang and it was long overdue as well. I am fancying that drought that spread around three years is finally over. Score of 130 plus is very much on. I am really expecting a bumper crop this year. Mcqs seems tasty as well. Good luck to all those who reposed faith in Geography despite tough results in recent times.

Bolan pass connects Quetta with kandhar (Afghanistan). It is route to Afghanistan. It is very historical pass which had been used by many invaders especially British to enter into Afghanistan.

[QUOTE=sadozai;698346]Bolan pass connects Quetta with kandhar (Afghanistan). It is route to Afghanistan. It is very historical pass which had been used by many invaders especially British to enter into Afghanistan.[/QUOTE]

Wikipedia says it connects Sibi and Jacobabad with Quetta. Is that info wrong?? Geography of Pakistan by K.U. Kureshy also puts Bolan pass in the middle of Balochistan in a map.

Fazale karim khan oxford publication says it connects sibbi with quetta. Was it nt the option there?

[QUOTE=Muhmmad Ali Raza;698370]Fazale karim khan oxford publication says it connects sibbi with quetta. Was it nt the option there?[/QUOTE]

None of these was the right option then. Both Kureshy and Fazale Karim can't be wrong

What has heating and evaporation got to do with salinity? Cold water is more saline and it sinks to the depth. Warm water is less saline.

Air descends at around 30 degree latitude: Hadley cells. High pressure belts are anti-cyclones where air descends, it does not rise! Air rises where pressure is low. Example: Equatorial trough.

brother high rating of heating determines the rate of evaporation and evaporation determines the salinity

Ok. What is more saline? Cold water or warm water?

[QUOTE=Buddha;698440]Ok. What is more saline? Cold water or warm water?[/QUOTE]

Salinity doesn't depend upon depth of ocean but its characteristic of saline water to subside less saline water. What determines salinity in the ocean include climatic factors i-e Evaporation,Fresh water content through rivers and rain etc but not the depth of the ocean.

Moreover its not necessary that cold water is always more saline than hot water.

Right about December 21.
However, even if you ignore the temperature saline water is more dense and it sinks to depth. As you trace the depth, you will find different levels of salinity from top to bottom. Thus, salinity of the ocean water depends on depth.

I would love to see a source confirming your postulate. :)

First paragraph and graph[/QUOTE]

Dear as I said depth is characteristic of Salinity and not a determinant factor. Depth doesn't affect the increase or decrease in ocean salinity but it is rather a characteristic of saline water. Salinity might change with depth but what causes salinity to increase or decrease is climate. Moreover climate is a major determinant of salinity. This is the main reason why salinity in some areas is high and in others low. Name any region which determines salinity through depth of ocean water.You will find examples of Salinity in conformity with climate.

Anyways you may consider what you want to consider. You may keep your opinion i would keep mine.

if depth would be a measure of salinity mariana trench and tongatrench would be the salinest part of the world but its dead sea ?why not the trenches

[QUOTE=nisma khan;698503]if depth would be a measure of salinity mariana trench and tongatrench would be the salinest part of the world but its dead sea ?why not the trenches[/QUOTE]

is dead sea an ocean or in an ocean? oceans keep moving, dead sea doesn't have any currents I guess. correct me if i'm wrong

is the surface water of the dead sea more saline or its deep water?

Depth is directly related to salinity of all oceans and it is the closest variable. We just know that if it is deep it would be more saline. Climate is not directly related to salinity, it is related by other processes like evaporation and influx of fresh water, which are in turn caused by sun energy. So we can also say that salinity is directly related to sun. We find the closest determinants in such cases which is depth in this case.

And it's not a good approach to invite a source and then ask one to keep one's opinion to oneself. Then one shouldn't argue in the first place.

Anyway, I'm too tired now to convince anyone. Ciao

Dear that was the reason in the first place that I didn't want an argument. Why should a single mcq should become a source of confrontation ?
And about source, I can provide a no of different sources keeping my view, and your source also suggests depth is a characteristic.

You are defending it because you think its right and I'm defending my opinion because I think I'm right.
Let's just keep our views to ourselves because I don't want an argument !

Except mcqs both papers were hot cakes for me :) Interestingly, I prepared only one ocean currents-atlantic and that question came in the paper. I attempted it to the level of perfection with figures. Though no question from Rocks, Earthquakes, Volcanoes, but paper went 'average'. Paper II was very easy and I made maps almost in every question. :)

In the end of the days, I came to know that my selection of optional subjects were [B]correct[/B]. More or less every paper came easier than that of other papers e.g socio. pub add, arabic. :)

At least, now I can say that Inshallah I will make it in this attempt if essay and fpsc's checking pattern allow me. :)

Now I am going to take my last and third attempt. :) Inshallah is me b jan laga deni hai.....phir jo naseeb! So, that's why from today I am going to make a new strategy for preparation...

Wish u all the very best friends :)

Well it is written i deblij book that temperature climate is the deterimant of salinity. Logic is obvious more evaporation more salinity, this is the reason more saline oceans are in hotter regions of the world.

my humble effort in ce 14 geography paper 1, seniors and members plz do comment

A very good attempt dear but I think the concept of fluvial cycle to be discussed here is not [B]Hydrological(Water) cycle[/B] that you've explained but its [B]fluvial cycle of erosion[/B].
Though the term "fluvial cycle" here is ambiguous as it means cycle involving water. However since this question is about the erosion caused by river water, I guess its Fluvial Cycle of Erosion.

well i discussed water cycle under a single heading .my main focus was on erosion by river and its associated landforms even i discussed davis cycle of erosion and karst topography.i must say a very tricky question but had no other option than to atttempt this one.i left no stone unturned to present this question in a comprehensive manner. rest is luck

Mcq's of paper-II
 

Where is Mount Etna(volcano) located.
Italy or Sicily
in some books it is written as Sicily(Italy)
Whereas in others it is written as Italy(Sicily)
i think both these options Sicily as well as italy were given in the paper.What should be the correct answer.
