Which of the following is a non-periodic change?
- Change of day and night
- Change of seasons
- Landslides
- Full moon and new moon nights
Answer
Landslides
Reason — Changes that are not repeated at regular intervals are called non-periodic changes. They may occur randomly at any time, like landslides.
Change of day and night is a periodic change as this change occurs regularly every 24 hours due to Earth’s rotation. Seasons repeat in a fixed cycle every year due to Earth’s revolution around the Sun. Full moon and new moon nights occur in a regular cycle known as the lunar cycle.
