NTA UGC NET/JRF Exam, December, 2022 Geography

In Troposphere and Mesosphere temperature decreases as altitude increase. In troposphere as one goes upwards, temperature falls at rate of 6.5°C per kilometer and reaches -45°C at the poles and -80°C over the equator in the topmost layer.
In stratosphere temperature remains constant for some distance but rises to reach a level of 0°C at 50 km. In mesosphere temperature decreases and reached it's minimum mark averaging -90°C in the topmost layer of it. In thermosphere temperature rises rapidly with increasing height. Temperature gradually increase in Exosphere.

Wetland and delta are aquatic ecosystem.

Rusting of Iron, Breaking of Feldspar to clay and Acid Action are example of chemical weathering. Weathering can be categorised in 3 parts
(i) Physical Weathering - weathering due to physical Actions (insolation, dew and air)
(ii) Chemical Weathering - Weathering due to chemical action (Hydration, carbonisation, oxidation etc)
(iii) Biological Weathering - Weathering due to vegetations and human actions.

Aerosols are suspension of particles and liquid droplets. Aerosol includes sea salts, fine soil smoke pollens and soot. Airosol in the air contribute to the various hues of red and orange at sunrise and sunset. The concentration of aerosols is maximum in Troposphere.
It act as surfaces on which water vapour condenses concentration of aerosols decreases with increasing highest in atmosphere and mesosphere which extends from 50 to 80 km is too high for Aerosols to get there.

Spatial Analysis is approach of Human geography which is related to spatial organisation of geographical facts and events. The application of quantitative techniques in locational analysis is known as spatial analysis.
It is associated with the philosophy of positivism the application of spatial analysis is based on direction and connection. Berry, Marbel, Bungi, Smith and Hagget played important role in spatial analysis.
Option D is incorrect because determinism /Environmental determinism is a philosophy, which advocates that environment plays a dominant role in controlling humans' action and human's are just passive living being driven by environment.So spatial analysis did not have any relation with determinism

Earth summit held in 1992 to celebrate 20th anniversary of Stockholm Convention. In Earth summit Agenda 21 was adopted. In this summit Global security fund created to prevent Global warming, international water resources pollution and conservation of Biodiversity. The commission on sustainable Development (CSD) was held in Rio De Janerio, Brazil. UNFCCC was established during Earth Summit. Main aim of Montreal protocol was to prevent ozone degradation. This protocol decided to reduce in use of chlorofloro carbon and Halon gas. hence option (a) and (d) are correct.

Factors responsible in urban decline
(i) Changes in forms of transport.
(ii) Extinction of Mineral deposits.
(iii) City governance.
(iv) Competition from nearby towns.
(v) High population pressure.
(vi) War & famine.
(vii) Water availability problem.
(viii) Increasing crime rate.

Census is a process of collecting Social, Economic and Demographic data of a country or a part of country. First census was organized in 1872 during Governor Lord Mayo while first systematic census organized in 1881
Note:- NTA dropped this question for evaluation.

Tropical Rainforest found in equatorial regions with perennial high temperature and humidity. Tropical rain forest develops where rains more than 200 cm Perennially. Mahogany, Ebony and Rosewood are main trees of Tropical wet forests. Monsoon forest fell their leaves in summer season.
Sal, Teak, Bamboo etc. are main trees of monsoon forest. Milk of Zepota treeе used in chewing Gum production. Birch of Sinchona used in medicine of Malaria. 'Chako' region of Paraguay and south Brazil is lower land and plain area where Kvevekro plant found in large amount whose birch contains Tanin which used in leather Industry. Tanin can also found from Tea leave.
