Choose the correct one: Terracing is the biological/mechanical measure for controlling erosion
A)
biological
B)
mechanical
Terracing is a mechanical (engineering) soil conservation measure because it involves reshaping the land into step-like levels to reduce slope length, slow runoff, and prevent soil erosion. Biological measures use vegetation such as grasses, trees, or cover crops to protect the soil, whereas terracing is a physical land treatment.

Wind speed is directly proportional to evaporation
A)
True
B)
False
Wind speed increases the rate of evaporation by removing the saturated layer of air just above the water surface. This maintains a higher vapour pressure gradient, so evaporation rises as wind speed increases. Therefore, wind speed is directly proportional to evaporation in the usual hydrology sense.

Choose the correct one: Base flow/surface runoff is water that flows to streams from natural storage.
A)
Base flow
B)
surface runoff
Water that reaches streams from natural subsurface storage, such as groundwater seepage, is called base flow. Surface runoff is water that flows over the land surface into streams after rainfall, not from natural storage. Therefore, the correct choice is Base flow.

Write 'T' for correct statement and 'F' for false statement: Terrace spacing is generally expressed as the vertical distances between two terraces.
A)
True
B)
False
Terrace spacing is generally described in terms of vertical interval, i.e., the vertical distance between two successive terraces. This is a standard soil conservation term. So the statement is correct.
MES Departmental • 2016 • Engineering Paper-II
Rate of evaporation is directly proportional to depth of water
A)
True
B)
False
The rate of evaporation is generally not directly proportional to the depth of water. Evaporation mainly depends on factors like temperature, humidity, wind speed, surface area, and solar radiation. Depth of water does not directly increase evaporation rate; in fact, for an open water body, evaporation occurs from the surface only, so depth has little or no direct effect.

Choose the correct one: Stream channel erosion occurs at the lower end/ upper end of head tributaries
A)
lower end
B)
upper end
Stream channel erosion in head tributaries mainly occurs at the upper end, i.e., near the source or headwaters, where vertical downcutting is active. The lower end generally receives deposited material rather than being the main zone of active erosion.
MES Departmental • 2016 • Engineering Paper-II
Choose the correct one: In high rainfall areas with steep slopes, inward/outward sloping type of terraces are generally used
A)
inward
B)
outward
In high rainfall areas with steep slopes, terraces are generally given an outward slope so that excess rainwater can drain away safely. This helps reduce waterlogging and prevents terrace failure. Inward-sloping terraces are usually preferred where water conservation and infiltration are desired, not in very high rainfall conditions.
