Question 3 of 5
3. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements regarding Coastal Regulation Zone(CRZ)
1. Coastal land up to 50m from the High Tide Line(HTL) falls under the Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ)
2. CRZ is notified under section 3 of the Biological Diversity Act, 2002 by the Union Government
Select the correct statement(s)Correct
c) Neither 1 nor 2
As per the notification, the coastal land up to 500m from the High Tide Line (HTL) and a stage of 100m along banks of creeks, lagoons, estuaries, backwater and rivers subject to tidal fluctuations, is called the Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ). Hence, statement 1 is incorrect.
Under section 3 of the “Environment Protection Act, 1986” of India, the Coastal Regulation Zone notification was issued in February 1991 for the first time, for the regulation of activities in the coastal area by the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF). Hence, statement 2 is incorrect.Incorrect

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements about PeVatrons
1. They are the source of the highest energy particles that flow across the Milky Way galaxy.
2. They consist of protons and also include atomic nuclei.
3. Because of the electric charge they carry, their path deviate and scramble as they go through galaxy’s magnetic field.
Choose the incorrect statements:Correct
d) None
PeVatrons
· They are the source of some of the highest energy particles that whip across our galaxy.· Streams of particles called cosmic rays travel at breakneck speeds around our galaxy and strike our planet’s atmosphere. Hence, statement 1 is correct.
. They typically consist of protons but sometimes also include atomic nuclei and electrons. Hence, statement 2 is correct.
consist of protons but sometimes also include atomic nuclei and electrons. · They all carry an electric charge, meaning their paths deviate and scramble as they go through our galaxy’s magnetic field.
· This means that we cannot track the direction they originally came from, which effectively masks their birthplace.· However, when the particles that are part of the cosmic rays collide with the gas near supernova remnants, they produce gamma rays.
· These are some of the highest-energy forms of radiation that exist.
· These particles get trapped by the chaotic magnetic fields near supernova remnants.
· They pass through the supernova’s shock wave multiple times and each time they do, they gain speed and energy.
· Eventually, they can no longer be held by the supernova remnant and will caree off into deep space.
Hence, statement 3 is correct.
Incorrect
d) None
