____ waterways are extensively developed in Europe.

  1. Inland

  2. Oceanic

  3. Both a and b

  4. None of these


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Inland and Oceanic waterways in Europe

Two major categories under which water transport can be divided are as follows: 1. Inland Waterways 2. Ocean Transport!

Since, prehistoric times, water transport has been used for carrying both men and goods. Water transport probably developed before the use of animals because waterway formed an easy means of travel in places where dense forests on land hindered movement.

The range and importance of water transport was increased when power of wind was harnessed by use of boats or some other medium. At first, boats were small and confined mainly to inland waters and sheltered coastal areas.

The gradual increase in size and complexity of sailing craft allowed trade to be established. The Phonecians, Egyptians, Greeks and Romans as well as Arabs and Indians had wide trading contacts. The use of steam has given a new dimension, greater power and speed to water transport to carry larger goods at long distances.

The use of diesel and other forms of power has changed the entire scenario of the water transport and today most of the world trade is water-borne. The two greatest advantages of water transport are that it uses oceans, rivers, seas and needs no special tracks, and that it is the cheapest form of transport for large and bulky loads.

In Europe intensive agriculture is practiced in  ________________.

  1. Southern plains to Belgium and northern France.

  2.  Ukraine

  3. Both a and b

  4. None of these


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
Agricultural land plays an important role in land use patterns across the EU. Grassland and cropland together make up 39 % of Europe's land cover . The agricultural sector is a major user of natural resources and has a complex relationship with the environment . The following data reflect the performance and impacts of the agricultural sector in the EU:

Around 94 % of ammonia emissions in Europe stemmed from agriculture in 2015, mainly from activities such as manure storage, slurry spreading and the use of inorganic nitrogen fertilisers.
CO2 emissions from peat soil that is drained for agriculture make up 100.5 Mt CO2 per year, while for forestry the figure is 67.6 Mt CO2. With a total of 173 Mt CO2 emissions from drained soils, the EU is the second largest hotspot for peatland CO2 emissions (after Indonesia) .
Through irrigation, agriculture exerts major pressure on renewable water resources. Seasonally, the sector consumes more than 50 % of the water used in Europe.
Agriculture is one of the main sources of nitrates in surface and ground waters. In several regions across Europe, often those with intensive agriculture, nitrate concentrations are still too high.
Around 9 % of agricultural land is part of Natura 2000 sites. 
Agriculture contributes 25 million tonnes of oil equivalent (12.3 %) to renewable energy production (2015), which is an increase of  15 % from 2013 to 2015 .
Agriculture is an inherent part of food systems and the range of food produced in the EU is diverse.
The EU is broadly self-sufficient in most agricultural primary commodities. It is also the single largest exporter of agri-food products, which include processed food .
Two of the main challenges confronting agriculture in Europe are climate change  and land take, i.e. the conversion of land to, for example, settlements and infrastructure . Climate change requires the adaptation of crop varieties and causes extreme weather events.

Example of one-way communication is ____________.

    1. computer networks

    2. telephone conversations

    3. book printing

    4. newspaper reading


    Correct Option: D
    Explanation:
    Defining One-Way Communication
    Picture an enormous crowded lecture hall. A professor steps up to a podium. The audience goes quiet. The professor begins to speak about, let's say, quantum string theory. He speaks for an hour and a half, and then he steps down and walks away without exchanging a word with anyone in the room. That's how one-way communication works.

    Communications theorists use simple models to describe how information flows between parties. The model uses three pieces: a sender, a receiver and a message. In one-way communication, a sender delivers a message to a receiver, but nothing flows back to the sender.

    Sometimes, one-way communication occurs because of the medium or method of communication. When you read a book, newspaper, or even this website, you play the part of the receiver in one-way communication. In these cases, the information moves in one direction because time and space separate the sender and the receiver. Print is a one-way communication medium.

    In the lecture hall, purpose separates the sender and receiver. The purpose of the lecture is to deliver, rather than exchange, information. To inform, to persuade, to entertain and to command are all common purposes for one-way communication, and we'll discuss each of these in this lesson.

    1. The Karakoram Road

    2. The Silk Road

    3. The Cotton Road

    4. The Thread Road


    Correct Option: B
    Explanation:

    The Silk Road,

    The "Silk Road" is a network of ancient overland trade routes that extended across the Asian continent and connected China to the Mediterranean Sea. For centuries, the "Silk Road" also enabled the transmission of knowledge and ideas between the Eastern and Western worlds. The summary below is a selection of definitions and entries commonly found on the Internet and in reference books. As students explore this subject in depth, and try to define the Silk Road, they will realize that the Silk Road is a term that varies in meaning (making it an excellent essay topic).

    Croydon is an international air port of _________.

    1. U. S. A.

    2. France

    3. U. K.

    4. Germany


    Correct Option: C
    Explanation:
    Croydon is an international air port of U. K.
    Croydon had the first customs in the UK (passengers were weighed individually with their baggage and if they were over a certain weight, they had to pay extra — this has been an inspiration for budget airlines since). It had the first charter flight. It had the first departure board (essentially a wall of clocks, which quickly became confusing and was ditched after about two years). It also had the first airport hotel in the world, now the Hallmark Hotel Croydon Aerodrome. And it was the spiritual home of Amy Johnson — the first woman to fly solo from England to Australia (she took off from Croydon in May 1930).
    On a darker note, Croydon was the first airport to have a major civilian crash, when an Imperial Airways de Havilland DH.34 came down in Purley on Christmas Eve 1924, killing eight. A stranger, but equally dark, event occurred on 4 July 1928, when wealthy businessman Alfred Loewenstein left Croydon, bound for Brussels, but then stepped out of the plane while it was over the Channel. Whether this was the first suicide by plane, or a tragic accident, isn't known.

    Train that carry as much as 600 trucks is called _____________.

    1. luxury train

    2. bullet train

    3. freight train

    4. double-stack unit train


    Correct Option: C
    Explanation:
    Rail Freight
    The use of railway cars is an effective method for transporting commodities. It is commonly a faster form of land transportation, compared to truck transportation. A single freight train is also capable of transporting a much greater cargo than a single truck. This gives it a significant advantage of trucking, because the larger scale results in decreased transportation costs, as there is less manpower and energy required to haul the same amount of cargo.

    What is the climate type of Europe?

    1. Tundra

    2. Taiga

    3. Temperate

    4. None of these


    Correct Option: C
    Explanation:

    Temperate,

    The climate of Europe varies from subtropical to polar. The Mediterranean climate of the south is dry and warm. The western and northwestern parts have a mild, generally humid climate, influenced by the North Atlantic Drift. In central and eastern Europe the climate is of the humid continental-type with cool summers.
    Average yearly temperatures in these regions are not extreme, not burning hot nor freezing cold. Temperate means moderate. Unlike in the tropics, temperatures can change greatly here, between summer and winter. So, most places with a temperate climate have four seasons: summer, autumn, winter, and spring.

    Living resources of Europe are ___________________.

    1. Manpower

    2. Soil and agricultural

    3. Livestock

    4. All of the above


    Correct Option: D
    Explanation:
    There are various ways in which resources, factors and inputs are classified. Inputs are divided as primary and intermediate. Resources are generally divided into two categories as natural and human. Capital is divided into three categories as natural, physical and human. Factors are divided into four categories as land, labour, capital and entrepreneurship. At times, organisation is added, separating out from entrepreneurship, as the fifth factor. At times, technology is also separately mentioned as factor/resource.

    There are bold people who consider money as a resource! They search words beginning with M. So, manpower, management, money, method, machine, etc etc become factors/resources/inputs for them but generally they are management people, not from economics.

      The traditional industry of Norway is _____________.

      1. Agriculture

      2. Forestry

      3. Iron and Steel

      4. None of these


      Correct Option: B
      Explanation:
      Norway has vast forests, and timber is the most important raw material for its forestry-based industries. Around half of the timber felled is used by the timber industry, which manufactures wood products for housebuilding, glued-wood structures, doors, window-frames and furniture. Timber that is less suitable for this is sold to the pulp and paper industry for making pulp.

      Although the timber industry is spread over large parts of the country, the highest concentrations of it are in eastern and mid Norway. Over the past few years, this sector has undergone restructuring through mergers and acquisitions. Since taking over Norske Skog’s timber operations, Moelven has become one of the largest timber companies in Europe.

      The pulp and paper industry consumes a lot of energy, so the companies in this sector have traditionally been located along the major rivers in eastern and mid Norway. This sector is extremely export-oriented and exposed to international competition. Norske Skog has bought factories in Central Europe and Asia over the past few years. The Norwegian pulp and paper industry has long industrial experience and high levels of expertise in the further processing of forestry resources. Paper based on fresh fibre from Nordic conifers is often of a better quality than that based on new, quick-growing plantation trees or paper that has a high recycled-paper content. The new paper-recycling facility at Norske Skog’s mill at Skogn ensures a market for Norwegian recycled paper. Developments in the price of electricity will be of great significance to the Norwegian pulp and paper industry’s competitive ability in the future.

      Correct Option: B
      Explanation:

      Maritime routes
      Maritime routes are a function of obligatory points of passage, which are strategic locations that act as chokepoints. Physical constraints (coasts, winds, marine currents, depth, reefs, ice) and political borders also play an important role in shaping maritime routes.

      1. Herring

      2. Haddock

      3. Cod

      4. All of these


      Correct Option: D
      Explanation:

      Cod, haddock and bass are all common examples of round fish. The majority of these fish species can be found in relatively shallow water; as a result they are regularly caught by sea anglers across the Europe.

      Species found in these waters include redfish, sea trout, snook and striped bass. Some fish live in saltwater, but swim up streams and rivers to spawn (lay their eggs). These fish are called anadromous fish. They include shad, salmon, and some types of trout.

      Correct Option: B
      Explanation:

      Steel and Engineering,

      In 1923 German government was unable to pay the reparations required under the terms of the Treaty of Versailles. The French and Belgian governments responded by sending in troops to the Ruhr, the main centre of Germany's coal, iron and steel production.

      The German people were outraged and Fritz Thyssen and other industrialists who had investments in the Ruhr, organized a passive resistance campaign. The French responded by bringing in their own workers to operate the mines and began arresting leaders of the resistance movement.

      The occupation of the Ruhr led to a collapse of the German economy. There was massive inflation and large increase in unemployment. Germany was now unable to pay any reparations.

      Charles G. Dawes, an American banker, was asked by the Allied Reparations Committee to investigate the problem. His report, published in April, 1924, proposed a plan for instituting annual payments of reparations on a fixed scale. He also recommended the reorganization of the German State Bank and increased foreign loans.

      Gustav Stresemann, the German chancellor called off the passive resistance and began paying reparations again. The French and Belgian troops withdrew from the Ruhr in 1925.
