Which among the following regarding Glaciers are true?

1. Glaciers can provide an important source of water during the premonsoon period, even though the overall flow is still dependent on the
monsoon rains
2. However, the impact of glaciers on rivers, and the ecosystem in
particular, diminishes as one travels downstream
Which among the following statements are correct?
a. 1 only
b. 2 only
c. Both 1 and 2
d. Neither 1 and 2

1. The increase in temperatures leads to faster melt rates, exposes more

ice to melt and thus reduces snowfall.
2. All glaciers across the world behave in the same way, with snow
accumulation happening at the upper regions and melting occurring at
the bottom.
3. The glaciers in the Everest region are mountain glaciers and tend to be
steeper and smaller than polar glaciers which can form extensive ice
caps.

Which of the following regarding Vertical movements are correct?
a. Vertical movements originate from the centre of the earth and affect its
surface. Consequently large scale uplift or subsidence of a part of the
earths surface takes place
b. These movements are not associated with the formations of continents
and plateaus
c. These movements are extremely fast and not at all wide spread and
bring massive changes in the horizontal rock strata
d. None of the above

Which of the following are true with respect to Retreating Glaciers?

1. Glacier retreat occurs when the melt rates at the terminus are greater
than the rate of advance.
2. Glaciers are always pushing downhill because of gravity of the Earth.
Which among the following statements are correct?

a.

1 only

b.

2 only

c.

Both 1 and 2

d.

Neither 1 and 2

1. Glacier retreat can cause changes in stream flows.

2. But the rivers that flow out of Nepal and enter India contain a very small
percentage of glacier melt, as the monsoon is the main driver of these
river flows.

1. Glaciers in the Karakoram region are behaving differently from the
glaciers in the Himalayas.
2. Karakoram glaciers receive high amounts of snowfall during the winter.

1. Higher elevation glaciers may warm faster, but they will always be
colder than lower elevations.
2. Once low-elevation glaciers start losing mass, it is only a matter of time
before they disappear completely at all elevations.
3. It will only be disastrous if the lakes that form as a result of glacier
retreat burst catastrophically.

1. Volcanic vents or openings occur in those parts of the earths crust

where rock strata are relatively weak.
2. Volcanoes are evidence of the presence of the intense heat and pressure
existing within the earth.

3. The process by which solid liquid and gaseous materials escape from
the earths interior to the surface of the earth is called Vulcanism.

formation of a conical hill.
2. Fissure type of volcanoes erupts through a crack or fissure and cause
formation of plateaus and shields.
