The frequency of the cyclones is lower in Arabian sea when compared to Bay of Bengal. This is because
1. Arabian sea surface temperature is higher compared to that of Bay of Bengal.
2. Bay of Bengal receives the remnants of the typhoons originated in Northwestern Pacific ocean.

Choose the correct code from the following

1, 2 only.

1, 3 only.

2, 3 only.

All the above.

Explanation:
Bay of Bengal being a closed and a smaller water body, it has higher surface temperature comparedto Arabian sea.North Western region of Pacific ocean has the highest proportion of global tropical cyclones. Thesecyclones which originate in the Pacific ocean start moving towards south western direction andfinally reach Bay of Bengal. But by the time they reach, they almost lose their energy and onlyremnants of cyclones reach Bay of Bengal. Similarly the cyclones originated in Bay of Bengal reachArabian sea but only remnants of cyclones after shedding their energy while traversing over thepeninsular landmass.

Consider the following statements regarding tropical cyclone which is one of the important determining factors for the success of Indian monsoons. 1. These are termed as the heat engines, which derive their energy from the condensation of water vapor into water droplets/drops. 2. More than 50% of the energy derived is utilized to sustain the wind movement around the central eye. 3. A mature cyclone releases energy equivalent to that of 100 hydrogen bombs. Which of the following statements are NOT true	Answer
Coal bed methane is released during coal mining and is generally recommended to extract it rather than letting it evaporate into the atmosphere when untapped because 1. CBM if is not extracted can cause fire hazards while mining deep areas. 2. CBM if allowed to escape into atmosphere, will get converted into carbon monoxide which is a potent green house gas.

Consider the following statements regarding the production and reserves of copper in India. 1. Rajasthan has the largest reserves of copper and is also the highest producer of copper in India. 2. India is self sufficient in copper production and also at times it has also exported copper to countries like Japan, South Korea etc. 3. Production of copper is a tedious job especially in India as the copper ore found in India as it is of the lower grade compared to International grade of the ore. Which are the correct statements?	Answer
Consider the following statements regarding biogas which is a very important source of energy in rural areas. 1. Biogas has a higher thermal efficiency compared to charcoal, cow dung, kerosene. 2. Not only biogas serves as a source of energy in the form of fuel but also can be used as source of manure for farm crops. 3. It is slightly less environment friendly as it releases green house gases when burnt as a fuel. Choose the incorrect code from the following	Answer
