Q341. A famous bird sanctuary is:
👁 1 viewsA bird sanctuary is a protected area designated to conserve bird species and their habitats. In this MCQ, option A, Koladeo Ghana Sanctuary, is presented as the famous bird sanctuary. Options B (Gir Forest), C (Sunderban), and D (Bandipur National Park) are well-known wildlife areas but are specifically famous for other key wildlife (lions, tigers, and mangrove t ecosystems, respectively). Therefore, the correct choice in this context is A, as given. The other options are not primarily known as bird sanctuaries, though they may host birds as part of their broader ecosystems.

A bird sanctuary protects birds and their habitat; other listed sites are known for different wildlife or ecosystems.
Q342. Tsunamis are generated by:
👁 1 viewsTsunamis are generated by undersea plate movements that cause a sudden displacement of a large volume of water, typically due to submarine earthquakes at tectonic plate boundaries. This abrupt shift transfers energy to the water column, creating waves that travel across oceans. Tidal changes are regular, predictable sea-level fluctuations and do not cause the massive, long-wavelength waves of a tsunami. Therefore, option A is correct.
Most tsunamis occur in the Pacific Ocean, often associated with subduction zones and the Ring of Fire.
Tsunamis are caused by sudden underwater displacement of water due to plate movements, not by tides.

Other options either involve rivers that do not originate from Amarkantak or do not flow in opposite directions from this hill.
The Amarkantak plateau is also known for the origin of multiple rivers and is a prominent pilgrimage site in central India.
Amarkantak is the source region for Narmada (west) and Mahanadi (east).
