1. The ocean is often referred to as "The Blue Land" because of its vast expanse of water, which appears blue due to the reflection and absorption of sunlight. Covering over 70% of Earth's surface, it plays a crucial role in climate regulation. For more visit here: https://www.tiwariacademy.in/ncert-soRead more

  5. Tsunamis are caused by (B) Underwater earthquakes. These powerful waves are triggered by seismic activity on the ocean floor, such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or underwater landslides. The sudden displacement of water generates massive waves that travel across the ocean at high speeds. For mRead more
