Question

• Continents and oceans are a part of the lithosphere and hydrosphere respectively.
• Continents and oceans lie on plates
• During low tides, the level of ocean water goes down and the land below the water near the coast is exposed.
• Ships wreck when they strike against the rocks in the ocean.

If the above points are correct, then select the most appropriate option from the following:

Discuss in the class regarding the choice of your options. Know from your teachers about the correct option.

विकल्प

• The surface of the earth is occupied by land and water

• There is land below the ocean too.

• Even if the water has the same level, the land submerged is not even.

• The level of water and land is uneven.

Answer 1

Even if the water has the same level, the land submerged is not even. 

Explanation:

The facts prove that land continues below the ocean surface low tide exposes coastal land, and ships strike submerged rocks. This shows the ocean floor is uneven, just like the land on continents. The other options are less appropriate: ‘The surface of the earth is occupied by land and water’ is true but does not explain submerged land; ‘There is land below the ocean too’ is true but incomplete because it does not mention that this land is uneven; ‘The level of water and land is uneven’ is vague and incorrect because the water surface is generally level, while the submerged land is uneven.
