PDE Q61

0. Given below are two statements, one labeled as Assertion (A) and the other labeled as Reason (R):
Assertion (A) :  One of the movements of the surface water of the ocean is known as an ocean current.
Reason (R)     :  Ocean currents are caused mainly due to planetary winds and the difference in temperature and density of water.
In the context of the above two statements, which one the following is correct?

  • Option : A
  • Explanation :

    The assertion is correct because ocean currents are indeed a type of movement of surface water in the oceans. The reason is also correct, as ocean currents are primarily driven by planetary winds (like trade winds and westerlies), as well as differences in water temperature and density. These factors cause water to move in specific directions, forming patterns known as ocean currents.

    • Option A: Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
      Correct. The reason accurately explains why ocean currents occur, directly supporting the assertion.

    • Option B: Both A and R are true but R is not a correct explanation of A
      Incorrect. The reason clearly supports the assertion, so this does not apply.

    • Option C: A is true but R is false
      Incorrect. The reason is factually accurate.

    • Option D: A is false but R is true
      Incorrect. The assertion is also correct.
