MCQ Chapter 3 Geography Class 7 Maharashtra Board MCQ For All Chapters – Geography Class 7Tides 1. What is the primary cause of tides?Earth's rotationThe gravitational pull of the moon and sunWind movement over the oceanEarth's magnetic fieldQuestion 1 of 202. How often does a complete cycle of high and low tide occur?Every 24 hoursEvery 6 hoursEvery 12 hours and 25 minutesEvery 48 hoursQuestion 2 of 203. What force acts in the direction opposite to gravitational force?Centripetal forceMagnetic forceCentrifugal forceFrictional forceQuestion 3 of 204. When does the highest high tide generally occur?During half-moon daysDuring full moon and new moon daysDuring equinoxesDuring summer solsticeQuestion 4 of 205. What is the tidal range?The distance between two high tidesThe distance between two low tidesThe difference in water level between high tide and low tideThe depth of the ocean during high tideQuestion 5 of 206. Which type of tide occurs when the moon and sun are at right angles to each other?Spring tideNeap tideTsunamiWave tideQuestion 6 of 207. Why does the moon influence tides more than the sun?The moon is smaller than the sunThe moon is closer to Earth than the sunThe sun's gravity is weaker than the moon'sThe Earth's rotation blocks the sun’s influenceQuestion 7 of 208. What is the main reason waves are formed on the ocean surface?Gravitational pull of the moonRotation of EarthWind blowing over the seaMovement of marine animalsQuestion 8 of 209. Which force prevents objects on Earth from being thrown into space due to centrifugal force?Electromagnetic forceFrictional forceGravitational forceTidal forceQuestion 9 of 2010. Where is the highest tidal range in the world observed?The Gulf of KhambhatThe Bay of BengalThe Bay of FundyThe Arabian SeaQuestion 10 of 2011. What is the primary cause of tsunamis?Strong windsUnderwater earthquakes and volcanic eruptionsThe moon’s gravitational pullLarge ships moving in the oceanQuestion 11 of 2012. What is the effect of centrifugal force on Earth's water?It pulls water toward the equatorIt causes water to move away from Earth's surfaceIt causes high tides at 0° and 180° meridiansIt has no effect on tidesQuestion 12 of 2013. Where do high and low tides occur at the same time?At opposite points on EarthAt the equatorAt the polesOnly near the coastlinesQuestion 13 of 2014. How does the Earth's rotation affect tides?It causes water to evaporateIt moves water in a circular motionIt contributes to the 12 hours and 25 minutes cycle of tidesIt has no effect on tidesQuestion 14 of 2015. What is the effect of high tide on ports?Ports become floodedPorts do not get filled with sedimentsShips cannot move during high tidePorts become dryQuestion 15 of 2016. What happens during a neap tide?The moon, Earth, and sun align in a straight lineThe gravitational pull of the moon and sun work against each otherHigh tides are stronger than usualThe tidal range is maximumQuestion 16 of 2017. Which location in India experiences the highest tidal range?Bay of BengalGulf of KhambhatIndian OceanArabian SeaQuestion 17 of 2018. How does high tide benefit fishing?Fish move into creeks, making them easier to catchIt makes the ocean calmerIt lowers water levelsIt removes fish from the oceanQuestion 18 of 2019. Which factor contributes most to the occurrence of spring tides?The alignment of the sun, moon, and EarthThe Earth's magnetic fieldSeasonal changesThe tilt of Earth’s axisQuestion 19 of 2020. What happens to water when a container is whirled around?It stays stillIt moves toward the centerIt moves outward due to centrifugal forceIt sinks to the bottomQuestion 20 of 20 Loading...
