Question 1 of 5
1. Question
“Climate is extreme, rainfall is scanty and the people used to be nomadic herders.” The above statement best describes which of the following regions? (2013)
Correct
Solution (b)
Bordering the deserts, away from the Mediterranean regions and in the interiors continents are the temperate grasslands. Though they lie in the Westerly wind belt, they are so remote from maritime influence that the grasslands are practically treeless. These grasslands are so distinctive in their natural vegetation that, although those which occur in the southern hemisphere have a much more moderate climate, they are often dealt with together.
In the northern hemisphere, the grasslands are far more extensive and are entirely continental. In Eurasia, they are called the Steppes and stretch eastwards from the shores of the Black Sea across the Great Russian plain to the foothills of the Altai Mountains, a distance of well over 2,000 miles

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
Variations in the length of daytime and night time from season to season are due to (2013)
Correct
Solution (d)
Earth’s axis always remains inclined to one side. Because of this constant inclination in one direction, the Northern Hemisphere remains inclined towards the sun or faces the sun during one half of the year. Therefore, a larger part of this hemisphere receives sunlight. Every point in this hemisphere takes a longer time to go out of the sunlight, with the result that the days are longer. In contrast, the Southern Hemisphere is away from the sun. It, therefore, has shorter days and longer nights
