World & Physical Geography MCQs

Notes:
The Kymi River is a 204 kilometers long river located in Finland which originates at Lake Paijanne and discharges into the Gulf of Finland at the Baltic Sea. The furthest source of the river is Lake Pielavesi. This river is one of the largest rivers in Southern Finland and one of the major sources for Finland’s hydroelectricity requirements. This river houses several pulp and paper industries and was widely used for timber rafting earlier.

Notes:
Lefka Ori or Madares is a mountain range located in Western Crete, in Greece. The White Mountains or Lefka Ori occupy a large part of the centre of West Crete and are the main feature of the region. They consist mainly of limestone, from light grey to bluish or black colour. The “White Mountains” have got their name from the perpetual white or off white colour of their peaks as the off white of limestone during the summer and fall interchanges with the snow that covers the peaks until late in spring.

Notes:
The Republic of Marshall is situated in the Pacific Ocean. The highest point of the country is Likiep Atoll which is about 10 meters above mean sea level.

Notes:
Endogenic forces sometimes produce sudden movements and at the other times produce slow movements. Sudden movements like earthquakes and volcanoes cause mass destruction over the surface of the earth.

Notes:
Stratosphere is almost free from clouds and associated weather phenomenon, making conditions most ideal for flying aeroplanes.

Notes:
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon gets between Earth and the sun, and the moon casts a shadow over Earth. A solar eclipse can only take place at the phase of new moon, when the moon passes directly between the sun and Earth and its shadows fall upon Earth’s surface.

Notes:
In geology, a nappe or thrust sheet is a large sheet like body of rock that has been moved more than 2 km or 5 km from its original position by faulting or folding. They form when a mass of rock is forced (or “thrust”) over another rock mass, typically on a low angle fault plane. The resulting structure may include large-scale recumbent folds, shearing along the fault plane.

Notes:
The Southern Alps is a mountain range extending along much of the length of New Zealand’s South Island. The range includes the South Island’s Main Divide, which separates the water catchments of the more heavily populated eastern side of the island from those on the west coast.
