Given below are two statements:
Statement (I): Record from the tipping bucket gives data on the rainfall intensity.
Statement (II): Natural siphon-type recording raingauge gives a plot of the mass curve of rainfall.
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

The percentage of earth covered by oceans is about:

Hydrology is the science of water which deals with:
(A). Occurance
(B). Distribution
(C). Circulation
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Given below are two statements:
Statement (I): In small catchments the overland flow phase is predominant over the channel flow. Hence the land use and the intensity of rainfall have an important role on the peak flood.
Statement (II): On large catchments the effects of land use and intensity of rainfall are suppressed as the channel flow phase is more predominant.
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
