1. Consider the following statements:
1. The sea water temperature of Red Sea is higher than that of Persian Gulf.
2. The Baltic Sea water is more saline than that of Black Sea. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
2. Coral reefs are formed by
3. Consider the following statements:
1. The temperature and salinity differences, that trigger thermohaline circulation of deepsea, are generated at the ocean surface in the low latitude wind belts.
2. The deep-sea currents of Indian Ocean are generated in the water girdling Antarctica. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
4. Consider the following statements:
1. Temperature of surface water is comparatively higher in the Northern Hemisphere.
2. The isotherms in the Southern Hemisphere are not regular and do not follow the latitudes while they (isotherms) are regular and follow the latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere. Which of the statement(s) given above is/are correct?
5. Assertion (A) : The temperature recorded at the surface of enclosed seas of high latitudes is lower than the temperature recorded at relatively greater depth. Reason (R) : The surface of ocean directly receives insolation and heat is transmitted to the lower part of the ocean through the process of conduction. Codes
6. The layer of water in the oceans and lakes that separates the warmer surface layer from the deeper colder layer is called
7. The sea surface take place as the solar energy once received is re-radiated as long wave radiation from the sea water
8. Assertion (A) : The temperature in the Southern Hemisphere is considerable lower than that in the Northern Hemisphere. Reason (R) : The large mass of ice-covered Antarctic continent is an important source of cold in the South. Codes
