Question 3 of 10
3. Question
2 points‘Power of Siberia’ refers to which of the following projects?
Correct
The central aim of this gas pipeline is to pump natural gas to China from Russia’s far-east regions like Yakutia. The pipeline is over 4,000 km in length and has an annual capacity of over 61 billion cubic metres. Russia is home to the largest reserves of natural gas on the planet which is 20% of the global total. The pipeline is a hedge against a potentially shrinking market in Europe, due to souring diplomatic relations. China is the world’s largest energy importer and consumer. It will help China to move away from coal to cleaner alternatives.

4. Question
2 pointsConsider the following statements about the GEMINI device launched by the Government of India.
1. It is a satellite-based advisory service for deep-sea fishermen.
2. It disseminates seamless and effective emergency information and communication on disaster warnings, Potential Fishing Zones (PFZ) and Ocean States Forecasts (OSF) to fishermen.
3. It has been developed by University of Tokyo, Japan as part of its India outreach.
Which of the above statements are true?Correct
GEMINI stands for Gagan Enabled Mariner’s Instrument for Navigation and Information. Gagan is a system to improve the accuracy of a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver by providing reference signals. It consists of three geosynchronous satellites (GSAT-8, GSAT-10 and GSAT-15), and covers the entire Indian Ocean round the clock. It covers the entire area from Australia to Africa.
So far, communication with fishermen has been limited to mobile networks and very high frequency (VHF) radio which does not range over 20 kilometres, while fish shoals in the Arabian Sea, Bay of Bengal and the Indian Ocean are as far away as 150 kilometres from the coast. GEMINI device addresses these issues. This device receives and transfers the data received from GAGAN satellites to a mobile through bluetooth communication. It has been developed by the Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS), an autonomous body under the Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES) and Airports Authority of India (AAI).Incorrect

Match the following rivers with their drainage patterns
a. Godavari 1. Radial b. Indus 2. Consequent c. Damodar 3. Antecedent d. Son 4. Superimposed Choose the correct answer using the codes given below
Correct
The rivers which follow the general direction of the slope are known as the consequent rivers.
A part of a river slope and the surrounding area gets uplifted, and the river sticks to its original slope, cutting through the uplifted portion like a saw (vertical erosion) and forming deep gorges. This type of drainage is called antecedent drainage.
When a river flowing over a softer rock stratum reaches the harder basal rocks but continues to follow the initial slope, it seems to have no relation with the harder rock bed. This type of drainage is called superimposed drainage.
The tributaries from a summit follow the slope downwards and drain down in all directions in radial drainage pattern.Incorrect
