Free Sneak Peek

Here is a sneak peek of the questions included in this test set. Test your preparation by viewing the answer and detailed explanation before starting the timed exam.

What was the primary scientific reason why Alfred Wegener's Continental Drift hypothesis was initially rejected by mainstream geologists in the 1920s?

1920 के दशक में मुख्यधारा के भूवैज्ञानिकों द्वारा अल्फ्रेड वेगनर के महाद्वीपीय विस्थापन सिद्धांत को शुरू में खारिज किए जाने का प्राथमिक वैज्ञानिक कारण क्या था?

Wegener proposed inadequate driving mechanisms (tidal friction of the moon and pole-fleeing centrifugal force) that were mathematically proven to be far too weak to plow solid granitic continents through basaltic ocean floorवेगनर ने अपर्याप्त प्रेरक बलों (चंद्रमा का ज्वारीय घर्षण और ध्रुवीय पलायन बल) का प्रस्ताव दिया था, जो गणितीय रूप से इतने कमजोर साबित हुए कि वे ठोस महाद्वीपों को बेसाल्टिक समुद्र तल के सीने को चीरकर आगे नहीं बढ़ा सकते थे

Wegener claimed that the continents floated in the upper stratosphere above cloud layersवेगनर ने दावा किया कि महाद्वीप बादलों के ऊपर ऊपरी समताप मंडल में तैरते थे

Wegener failed to find any fossils or rock correlations across the Atlanticवेगनर अटलांटिक के पार कोई जीवाश्म या चट्टानी समानताएं खोजने में पूरी तरह विफल रहे थे

Wegener refused to publish his theories in peer-reviewed scientific journalsवेगनर ने अपने सिद्धांतों को समीक्षा वाली वैज्ञानिक पत्रिकाओं में प्रकाशित करने से इनकार कर दिया था

Correct Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Physicist Harold Jeffreys calculated that the tidal and centrifugal forces invoked by Wegener were millions of times too weak to overcome the rigidity of oceanic basalt; continental drift lacked a plausible geodynamic engine until mantle convection and plate tectonics were discovered.

भौतिकविदों ने गणितीय गणना से साबित किया कि वेगनर द्वारा सुझाए गए बल (ध्रुवीय पलायन और ज्वारीय बल) अत्यंत तुच्छ थे और वे महाद्वीपों को समुद्र तल पर खिसकाने में असमर्थ थे। जब तक मेंटल संवहन और प्लेट विवर्तनिकी की खोज नहीं हुई, तब तक इसका वास्तविक चालक तंत्र अज्ञात रहा।

How did paleomagnetic 'Seafloor Magnetic Striping' (the Vine-Matthews-Morley hypothesis of 1963) conclusively validate Harry Hess's Sea Floor Spreading?

पुराचुंबकत्वीय 'सागरीय चुंबकीय पट्टी' (1963 की वाइन-मैथ्यूज-मॉर्ली परिकल्पना) ने हैरी हेस के सागर नितल प्रसरण को किस प्रकार अकाट्य रूप से प्रमाणित किया?

Symmetrical zebra-like bands of normal and reversed magnetic polarity parallel to mid-ocean ridges proved that new basalt crystallizes at the ridge crest and is conveyed symmetrically outward like a conveyor beltमध्य-महासागरीय कटकों के दोनों ओर सामान्य और उत्क्रमित चुंबकीय ध्रुवता की सममित (Symmetrical) धारियों ने सिद्ध किया कि कटक पर नया बेसाल्ट लावा जमता है और टेप-रिकॉर्डर की भांति दोनों ओर बराबर फैलता जाता है

Magnetic strips proved that the ocean floor was composed of artificial compass needles laid by ancient marinersचुंबकीय पट्टियों ने सिद्ध किया कि समुद्र तल प्राचीन नाविकों द्वारा बिछाई गई कृत्रिम कम्पास सुइयों से बना था

It showed that Earth's magnetic north pole permanently migrated to the center of the Sahara Desertइसने दिखाया कि पृथ्वी का चुंबकीय उत्तरी ध्रुव सहारा रेगिस्तान के केंद्र में स्थायी रूप से स्थानांतरित हो गया था

It proved that oceanic basalt contains no magnetic iron-bearing mineralsइसने साबित किया कि महासागरीय बेसाल्ट में कोई चुंबकीय लोहा युक्त खनिज नहीं होते हैं

Correct Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Fred Vine and Drummond Matthews realized that as basaltic magma cools past the Curie point (~580°C) at mid-ocean ridges, magnetite locks in Earth's ambient magnetic field. Periodic geomagnetic reversals created mirror-image stripes on both sides of the ridge, proving seafloor spreading.

वाइन और मैथ्यूज ने दिखाया कि मध्य-कटक पर ठंडा होने वाला बेसाल्ट तत्कालीन चुंबकीय क्षेत्र को दर्ज कर लेता है। भू-चुंबकीय उत्क्रमणों के कारण कटक के दोनों तरफ सममित समानांतर चुंबकीय पट्टियां बनीं, जो समुद्र तल के प्रसार का 'टेप रिकॉर्डर' साबित हुईं।

How Chapter-Wise Online CBT Tests Build Winning Habits for Future Competitive Exams

Focused chapter-wise CBT practice builds the speed, mental stamina, and analytical discipline required to ace CUET, JEE Main, NEET UG, NDA, CA Foundation, and College Entrance Exams.

Competitive Edge

Real-Time Clock Awareness & Pacing

समय प्रबंधन एवं गति नियंत्रण

In school examinations, students write answers without active pacing. In national entrance tests, students have barely 45-60 seconds per MCQ. Practicing with a 20-minute timer instills instinctive time-budgeting and prevents last-minute exam panic.

Mastery of the Elimination Technique

विकल्प निष्कासन विधि में दक्षता

Top rankers in competitive exams rarely compute every problem blindly. They spot subtle traps, evaluate extreme values, and eliminate 2 out of 4 distractors within seconds. Our 4-option sets teach critical distractor analysis.

CBT Screen Stamina & Digital Comfort

कंप्यूटर आधारित परीक्षा का सहज अभ्यास

Almost all major national exams (CUET, JEE, NEET, SSC, Banking) are 100% computer-based. Students who only study on paper experience eye strain and navigation mistakes on exam day. Early CBT practice creates effortless digital fluency.

Immunity to Negative Marking

सटीकता और नकारात्मक अंकन से सुरक्षा

Careless errors—such as misreading "NOT" or "EXCEPT"—ruin thousands of competitive aspirations each year. Regular objective testing builds the habit of double-checking question keywords before locking answers.

Instant Diagnostic Feedback Loop

तत्काल त्रुटि निवारण एवं आत्म-मूल्यांकन

Traditional paper tests take weeks to grade, by which time the student has forgotten their thought process. TargetExams provides instant scorecards and step-by-step solutions while the conceptual puzzle is still fresh.
