There are well developed deltas here, formed by the rivers flowing eastward in to the Bay of Bengal. These include the deltas of the Mahanadi, the Godavari, the Krishna and the Kaveri. Because of its emergent nature, it has less number of ports and harbors. सह च - 1. पन म त य म द ड ब ह ए त य म द क एक उद हरण ह इस ड ब क र जह स यह एक स क णव ब ल ट ह और ब दरग ह और ब दरग ह क नर क स क न ए प र क नतक खथर नतय प रद करत ह 2. पन म त य म द क त म, प र त य म द व य पक ह और एक उभरत त क एक उद हरण ह ब ग क ड म प र व म बह र नदय द व र ब ई गई अच तरह स नर कनसत ड ल ट ह इ म मह द, ग द र र, क ष ण और क र र क ड ल ट श नम ह इसक उभरत प रक नत क क रण, इसम ब दरग ह और ब दरग ह क स ख य कम ह A. 1 B. 2 C.

Death Valley, California, USA This currently holds the record for hottest air temperature ever recorded. The desert valley reached highs of 56.7 degrees in the summer of 1913, which would apparently push the limits of human survival. Average temperatures today reach 47 degrees during summer, and it s the driest place in the States. 2. Aziziyah, Libya The former capital of the Jafara district, 25 miles south of Tripoli, used to claim the title of hottest place on earth in 1922 the temperature was recorded as a sweltering 58 degrees. However, it was stripped of its title in 2012 when meteorologists declared this invalid due to a number of factors, including the fact that the person who recorded it was inexperienced. However, the town still regularly experiences temperatures of over 48 degrees in midsummer. Study for civil services GYAN

Dallol, Ethiopia This hydrothermal field with salt formations, acidic hot springs, and gas geysers had an average daily maximum temperature of 41 degrees recorded from 1960 to These soaring numbers mean it has the highest average temperature of any inhabited place on earth. 4. Wadi Halfa, Sudan During the year, there is virtually no rainfall in Wadi Halfa, a sweltering city located on the shores of Lake Nubia in Sudan. June is the hottest month, with average temperature highs of 41 degrees the hottest temperature ever recorded there was 53 degrees in April Dasht-e Loot, Iran This desert plateau has the hottest ground temperatures on the planet satellite measurements taken between 2003 and 2009 found a maximum temperature of a staggering 70.7 degrees. Needless to say, the region is uninhabited. 6. Tirat Zvi, Israel The small kibbutz of Tirat Zvi boasts the hottest temperature on record in Asia in June 1942 it hit 54 degrees. The record has since been questioned by Christopher C Burt (one of the investigators into the now-disqualified Aziziyah world record), who claims that the thermograph reading was incorrectly read and should have been 53 degrees. But even on an off year, it hits average highs of Timbuktu, Mali This city on the south edge of the Sahara is even hot in winter, reaching average highs of 30 degrees in January. The hottest temperature ever recorded was 49 degrees. 8. Kebili, Tunisia This desert town is known for its quality dates, which obviously don t mind the average temperature highs of 40+ degrees during the summer. The highest temperature on record is a whopping 55 degrees. 9. Ghadames, Libya This oasis in the middle of the desert is now a Unesco World Heritage Site thanks to its iconic huts made from mud, which help protect the 7,000 inhabitants from the intense heat. Known as the pearl of the desert, it reaches average highs of 40 degrees and a temperature of 55 degrees was once recorded. 10. Bandar-e Mahshahr, Iran This sweltering city hit the second highest heat index on record the heat index combines air temperature and relative humidity. Bandar-e Mahshahr registered a heat index of 74 degrees in July The hottest recorded temperature there is 51 degrees. 17. A 18. A Mountains of West Africa West Africa is more known for its steamy tropical forests and political turbulence than for its mountains. Most of the region is low lying, although Cameroon has one mountain over 13,000 feet in Mount Cameroon. Other lesser peaks and volcanoes are found across the region, but none higher than 10,000 feet. West Africa is home to a number of active volcanoes and many of its peaks are remote or inaccessible. Mount Cameroon The highest peak in West Africa -- Mount Cameroon at 13,255 feet -- is an active volcano that last erupted in Its first known eruption was in the 5th Century BC and was recorded by Carthaginian navigator Hanno. It's the closest African volcano to the sea and rises almost directly out of the Gulf of Guinea in West Cameroon. Another volcano, called the Pico de Santa Isabel, reaches 9,868 feet on an island just off the coast. Mount Cameroon was first climbed in 1861 by explorer Sir Richard Burton and can be climbed by hikers, provided it's not erupting. Study for civil services GYAN

109 Study for civil services GYAN Pico Basile Formerly known as the Pico de Santa Isabel, this 9,878-foot volcanic peak sits on Bioko Island in Equatorial Guinea. It last erupted in 1923 and its lower slopes are covered in tropical forest. Mount Cameroon can be seen from the summit and both mountains are part of the Cameroon line, a rift zone stretching from Lake Chad in the East out into the Gulf of Guinea. Mount Nimba At 5,748 feet, Mount Niimba or Mount Richard-Molard sits on the borders of Liberia, Guinea and Cote d'ivoire and is the highest mountain in all three countries. It is also the highest point in the Nimba Range. The whole mountain is rich in iron ore. The Liberia section has been extensively mined while Guinea and Cote d'ivoire have declared their sections to be nature reserves. The protected parts of the Nimba Range have been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Mount Bintumani The highest peak in Sierra Leone, Mount Bintumani or Loma Mansu, is 6,381 feet high and the highest peak in the Guinea Highlands range. The mountain is difficult to access as there are no paved roads nearby. Pico de Sao Tome Pico de Sao Tome is only technically 6,640 feet above sea level but is in fact the emergent peak of a giant shield volcano that sits on the sea bed in over 10,000 feet of water. This makes it the highest mountain in West Africa despite being primarily under water. As the highest point of São Tomé island in the Gulf of Guinea, the mountain is a continuation of the Cameroon Line. The upper slopes of the mountain are forested and inside the Obo National Park. 19.

C (The mixing of warm and cold currents help to replenish the oxygen and favour the growth of planktons, the primary food for fish population. The best fishing grounds of the world exist mainly in these mixing zones. West coasts of the continents in tropical and subtropical latitudes (except close to the equator) are bordered by cool waters. West coasts of the continents in the middle and higher latitudes are bordered by warm waters which cause a distinct marine climate. They are characterised by cool summers and relatively mild winters with a narrow annual range of temperatures. ) Study for civil services GYAN

It is 1,465 km long with a catchment area spreading over 3.13 lakh sq. km 49 per cent of this, lies in Maharashtra, 20 per cent in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, and the rest in Andhra Pradesh. The Kaveri rises in Brahmagiri hills (1,341m) of Kogadu district in Karnataka. Its length is 800 km and it drains an area of 81,155 sq. km. Since the upper catchment area receives rainfall during the southwest monsoon season (summer) and the lower part during the northeast monsoon season (winter), the river carries water throughout the year with comparatively less fluctuation than the other Peninsular rivers. 67.

It is grown over undulating topography of hilly areas and welldrained soils in humid and subhumid tropics and sub-tropics. In India, tea plantation started in 1840s in Brahmaputra valley of Assam which still is a major tea growing area in the country. Later on, its plantation was introduced in the sub-himalayan region of West Bengal (Darjiling, Jalpaiguri and Cooch Bihar districts). Tea is also cultivated on the lower slopes of Nilgiri and Cardamom hills in Western Ghats. India is a after Sri Lanka and China. Assam accounts for about 53.2 per cent of the total cropped area and contributes more than half of total production of tea in the country. West Bengal and Tamil Nadu are the other leading producer of tea. 71. D 72. C 73. A 74. C 75. B 76. A 77. A 78. A 79. A 80. A 81. A 82. A 83. A 84. D 85. D Study for civil services GYAN
