Question 1

Consider the following Statements with respect to the difference between Jovian and Terrestrial Planets:

1. The first four planets are Earth-like and are called Jovian while the rest four are terrestrial which are Jupiter-like.

2. The terrestrial planets were formed in the close vicinity of the parent star whereas Jovian planets were formed at quite a distant location.

3. The solar winds were not strong enough to remove gases from the Jovian planets. The terrestrial planets are smaller and have lesser gravity, which means they cannot contain the fleeing gases.

Which of the above statements is/are incorrect?

Question 2

Consider the following facts regarding Sea Floor Spreading:

1. Volcanic eruptions are common all along the mid oceanic ridges and they bring huge amounts of lava to the surface in this area.

2. Rocks closer to the mid-oceanic ridges have normal polarity and are the youngest.

3. The ocean crust rocks are much younger than the continental rocks.

Select the correct answer using the code given below.

1. Areas where earthquake waves are not reported are called the ‘shadow zone’.
