Which plate boundary is characterized by deep-focus earthquakes and explosive, silica-rich stratovolcanoes?
💡 Explanation:Convergent subduction zones (e.g., oceanic-continental or oceanic-oceanic) are characterized by the subducting slab plunging deep into the mantle, causing deep-focus earthquakes. The presence of water from the subducting plate lowers the melting point of the mantle wedge, producing silica-rich (intermediate/felsic) magma. This viscous magma leads to explosive eruptions and the formation of stratovolcanoes. Divergent and transform boundaries only exhibit shallow-focus earthquakes and generally effusive volcanism (at divergent zones).

Which CPU scheduling algorithm is best for an interactive time-sharing OS to ensure quick response time?
💡 Explanation:Round Robin (RR) is a preemptive scheduling algorithm specifically designed for time-sharing systems. It assigns a fixed time slice (quantum) to each process, ensuring that every process receives a fair share of the CPU at regular intervals. This preemption and fair distribution minimize the average response time for interactive users, preventing any single process from monopolizing the CPU.

What primary area of bilateral cooperation did Pakistan’s PM propose to Indonesia following a major climate disaster?
💡 Explanation:Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif conveyed Pakistan’s readiness to share its experience and proposed strengthening bilateral cooperation with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto in disaster preparedness, crisis management, and climate resilience. This stemmed from a recognition of both countries' shared vulnerability to climate-induced calamities, and is an example of South-South cooperation.

What process primarily forms landforms associated with Karst topography?
💡 Explanation:Karst topography is a distinctive landscape (featuring sinkholes, caves, and underground drainage) formed by the dissolution of soluble bedrock, most commonly limestone. This process is primarily achieved through chemical weathering, where mildly acidic water (containing carbonic acid) dissolves the calcium carbonate in the rock.

The necessity for coordinated irrigation and land surveying along the Nile primarily drove the development of which Egyptian system?
💡 Explanation:The annual, predictable, yet destructive flooding of the Nile necessitated large-scale, coordinated efforts for irrigation, flood control, and the re-establishment of land boundaries for tax purposes (land surveying). This massive organizational requirement was the primary impetus for the unification of Egypt under a single pharaoh and the subsequent creation of a powerful, centralized bureaucracy to manage these essential tasks, thus driving the development of the Centralized Bureaucratic State. Options A and D were secondary developments, and B is an incorrect political model for Ancient Egypt.
