Question 1 of 5
1. Question
Consider the following statements
- Earth’s magnetic field acts like a protective shield around the planet, repelling and trapping charged particles from the Sun.
- South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) is a region at the Earth’s surface where the intensity of the magnetic field is particularly low.
- SAA stretches out between South America and southwest Africa.
Choose the incorrect statements:
Correct
Solution (d)
Statement Analysis
Statement 1 Statement 2 Statement 3 Correct Correct Correct · Earth’s magnetic field acts like a protective shield around the planet, repelling and trapping charged particles from the Sun. · SAA exists because the Earth’s inner Van Allen radiation beltcomes closest to the planet’s surface, causing an increased flux of energetic particles.
· This leads to the penetration of solar energetic particles deep into Earth’s atmosphere, posing severe problems for airplanes and ships’ positioning systems as well as spacecraft electronic systems.
South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA): · It is a region at the Earth’s surface where the intensity of the magnetic field is particularly low.
· SAA stretches out between South America and southwest Africa. Context: NASA is actively monitoring a strange anomaly in Earth’s magnetic field called the South Atlantic Anomaly.

· Kangaroo Closure: When this type of closure motion is passed, only the important clauses of a bill are discussed and voted. The remaining clauses are deemed to be passed
· Guillotine Closure: When the time allocated for discussion of a particular bill or resolution is over, all the undiscussed clauses are put to vote along with the discussed ones on the Guillotine.
Context: The Lok Sabha passed the demands for grants for ministries without any discussion due to disruptions in Parliamentary procedure.

- There is no terminator line for Earth.
Choose the correct statements:
Correct
Solution (c)
