Test: Land Soil Water Natural And Wildlife Resources- 1 - UPSC MCQ

The soil fertility depends on land fertility.

The correct answer is A: The process of water moving from oceans to land and back. 
- Water cycle, also known as the hydrological cycle, is the continuous movement of water on, above, and below the surface of the Earth.
- It involves the processes of evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and runoff, allowing water to circulate between the atmosphere, land, and oceans.
- Water evaporates from the oceans, forms clouds in the atmosphere, falls back to the Earth as precipitation (rain or snow), and flows back into the oceans through rivers and streams.
- This cycle is crucial for maintaining the Earth's water balance and supporting life on our planet.

The classification of land based on relief typically includes geographical features such as plateaus, mountains, and plains. However, rivers are not considered a landform or feature of relief themselves. Rivers are water bodies that flow through various types of landforms, including plateaus, mountains, and plains. Therefore, rivers do not belong to the category of land classification based on relief.

A rural area is an open swath of land that has few homes or other buildings, and not very many people. A rural areas population density is very low. Many people live in a city, or urban area.Hamlets, villages, towns, and other small settlements are in or surrounded by rural areas.

The shape of the land ('relief') Climate can be affected by mountains. Mountains receive more rainfall than low lying areas because as air is forced over the higher ground it cools, causing moist air to condense and fall out as rainfall. The higher the place is above sea level the colder it will be.

The quality and the fertility of the land in the rocky slopes of the mountains and low-lying areas are not suitable for cultivation.
The quality and the fertility of the land in the rocky slopes of the mountains and low lying areas are not suitable for cultivation. Also, these areas are very cold with extreme weather conditions.
