Arteries have the thickest walls of all blood vessels, not the thinnest, because they carry blood away from the heart under high pressure.

In Koppen's scheme for India, most of the Ganga plain falls in the Cwg type: a monsoon climate with a dry winter.

Heat from the Earth's interior sets up slow convection currents in the mantle, and these drag the rigid plates resting on it.

Lead nitrate breaks down only when it is heated strongly, so the reaction absorbs heat and is endothermic. On heating, lead nitrate gives lead oxide, brown fumes of nitrogen dioxide and oxygen: 2Pb(NO3)2 → 2PbO + 4NO2 + O2.

The correct answer is the Bloomberg Economy Forum 2026, on the sidelines of which the Union Minister spoke in an exclusive conversation about the peaceful character of India's nuclear programme and the power needs of an economy turning towards artificial intelligence.

Nitrogen and oxygen combine only when a lot of energy is supplied. The nitrogen molecule is held by a very strong triple bond, so breaking it takes much energy, and the reaction N₂ + O₂ → 2NO absorbs heat.

He was Viceroy from 1926 to 1931, which covers the Dandi March of 1930.

Hydrogen adds across the carbon–carbon double bonds of the oil. Vegetable oils are unsaturated: their fatty acid chains contain C=C double bonds, which keep them liquid.
