II. Troposphere
III. Stratosphere
IV. Thermosphere
7. What is the convergence of North-East and South-East trade winds near equator known as?
8. The region with grasslands, extensive rolling plains, dull uniformity and monotony of scene, no trees, extreme cold and dryness in winter, can be described as having
9. Frontal Rain is caused by
10. The mass of water vapour per unit volume of air is known as
11. Assertion (A) Areas lying within five to eight degrees latitude on either side of the equator receive rainfall throughout the year. Reason (R) High temperatures and high humidity cause convectional rain to fall mostly in the afternoons near the equator.
12. Consider the following statements.
I. The Earth receives the Sun’s energy at the infrared end of the spectrum.
II. The Earth re-radiates the Sun’s heat as ultraviolet energy.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
13. Given below are the different kinds of humidity. On which one, the possibility of precipitation depends the most?
14. The tropical cyclone of Philippines is termed as
15. The correct proportion of gases in the atmosphere in descending order is
16. Assertion (A) Geostrophic wind blows above a height of 600 m, parallel to the isobars. Reason (R) Geostrophic wind is the horizontal wind velocity, in which the Coriolis force balances the horizontal pressure force.
17. Which of the following statements are correct?
I. In a cyclone, the area of low pressure is at the centre surrounded by the areas of high pressure.
II. In a cyclone, the areas of low pressure surround the area of high pressure.
III. In an anti-cyclone, the area of high pressure is at the centre surrounded by the areas of low pressure.
IV. In an anti-cyclone, the area of low pressure is surrounded by the areas of high pressure.
Select the correct answer using the codes given below.
18. Which one of the following statements is true about Horse latitude?
19. Consider the following statements.
I. The difference between the moisture-holding capacity of air and its actual humidity is called saturation deficit.
II. The temperature to which air has to be cooled in order to reach saturation is called dew point.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
20. Rain shadow effect is associated with
21. In the context of which of the following do some scientists suggest the use of cirrus cloud thinning technique and the injection of sulphate aerosol into stratosphere?
23. Assertion (A) There would be no monsoon if the Earth’s surface was composed of either all land or all water. Reason (R) Monsoons are to a large extent, the result of differential heating of the land and water.

26. Arctic air front is formed in Northern Hemisphere of Earth. Choose the correct statement.
I. It is not very active front.
II. It formed at meeting point of Arctic air mass and Polar air mass.
III. Its inactivity is due to the fact that temperature difference between Arctic air mass and Polar air mass is small.
28. Which one of the following is the pattern of circulation around a low-pressure area in the Northern hemisphere?
29. According to the Köppen climatic classification, the letter code Cfa denotes.
