World & Physical Geography MCQs

Notes:
Venus rotates on its polar axis backwards compared to Earth, so a Venus sunrise occurs in the west and sunset in the east.

Notes:
There are 79 known moons of Jupiter, and they form a satellite system known as Jovian system. The most massive of the moons are the four Galilean moons: Io; Europa; Ganymede; and Callisto, which were independently discovered in 1610 by Galileo Galilei and Simon Marius and were the first objects found to orbit a body that was neither Earth nor the Sun.

Notes:
The orbital speed of the Earth around the Sun averages about 30 km/s (108,000 km/h), which is fast enough to cover the planet’s diameter (about 12,700 km) in seven minutes, and the distance to the Moon of 384,000 km in four hours

Notes:
Africa is home to a variety of cuisines and food crops, but root crops such as yams, cassava, and sweet potatoes are predominant. These crops are vital for nutrition and food security in many African countries because they are high in carbohydrates, adaptable to various climatic and soil conditions, and have high yield potential. This makes them the primary source of caloric intake for many Africans, contributing significantly to the agricultural economy of the continent.

Notes:
The International Space Station is a modular space station in low Earth orbit. The ISS program is a multi-national collaborative project between five participating space agencies: NASA, Roscosmos, JAXA, ESA, and CSA. It is an international collaborative effort between multiple countries.

Notes:
The Great Barrier Reef, located in the Coral Sea off the coast of Queensland, Australia, is acknowledged as the largest living structure on Earth. Remarkably, it is so enormous that it can be viewed from outer space. Its biological richness and diversity have led to its classification as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It spans a length of over 2,300 kilometres, comprising of nearly 3,000 individual reefs and 900 islands, providing a diverse habitat for countless species of marine life.

Notes:

Notes:
Radhanagar Beach is situated in Havelock Island in Andaman islands. It is one of the best beaches in Asia. It is commonly known as Beach No. 7 as it is seventh best beach in the world.

Notes:
White Dwarf is characterized by Low luminosity but a high temperature. White Dwarf is the left over remains of a red giant that ran out of fuel.

Notes:
A star’s life cycle is determined by its mass. The larger the mass of a star, the shorter is its life cycle.
