Select the correct answer using the codes given below.
8. Rain bearing clouds look black because
9. The horizontal wind circulation near the Earth’s surface is due to the
I. Pressure gradient
II. Frictional force
III. Coriolis force
Select the correct answer using the codes given below.
10. Which one of the following statements is true about Horse latitude?
11. The Mediterranean region are characterised by heavy rain in
12. Consider the following statements.
I. Typhoons occur mainly in the region of 6° to 20° North and South of the equator.
II. Typhoons are most frequent from May to June.
III. The velocity of Typhoons is 100 mph.
IV. Torrential downpour is accompanied by thunder and lightening in a typhoon.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
13. If the Earth did not have an atmosphere, temperature extremes between day and night would
14. Which one of the following river basins experiences the convectional rainfall?
15. Which region of the Earth’s surface is called doldrums?
16. Assertion (A) In stratosphere the temperature increase with altitude results in a layering effect. Reason (R) It creates a global ‘inversion layer’, and increases vertical convection.
17. What is the term used to denote the critical temperature at which the air becomes saturated with vapour and below which the condensation is likely to begin?
18. Which of the following statements characterise convectional rainfall?
I. It occurs daily in the afternoon in the equatorial regions.
II. It is of very short duration.
III. It occurs through cumulonimbus clouds.
Select the correct answer using the codes given below.
19. Which one of the following is the correct order in which the gases from the atmosphere disappear as one moves away from the surface of the Earth?
20. Which one of the following is a planetary wind?
21. Nearly 30% of the solar radiations return back to the space without contributing anything to the Earth’s surface temperature. This amount of radiation is known as
22. In the South Atlantic and South-Eastern Pacific regions in tropical latitudes, cyclone does not originate. What is the reason?
23. In which of the following regions of the world, the production of citrus fruits is well developed?
24. 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?
25. The atmospheric air is held to the Earth by
26. Rain shadow effect is associated with
27. Which one of the following gases is found in highest quantity in exosphere?
28. During a thunderstorm, the thunder in the sky is produced by the
I. meeting of cumulonimbus clouds in the sky.
II. lightning that separates the nimbus clouds.
III. violent upward movement of air and water particles.
Select the correct answer using the codes given below.
29. In which one of the following areas is monsoon climate found?
30. Which one of the following instruments is used for measuring the humidity of the air?
31. Which one of the following experiences the least annual range of temperature?
32. 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.
33. Wind is often found to blow in a hot summer day due to
34. Which of the below mentioned statements is/are true?
I. El Niño disrupts weather patterns around the world, causing drought in Indonesia, Australia, India and Eastern Brazil.
II. It causes unusually heavy rainfall in the US Gulf Coast and parts of South America.
III. It also lowers sea surface temperature in the Caribbean and Atlantic, which helps prevent the formation and intensity of hurricanes in that region.
35. Consider the following statements and choose the correct statements. Arctic air mass is a cold air mass.
I. It originates over Greenland.
II. It is represented by symbol AA.
III. It is also found in some continental areas of Russia.
36. The intensity of insolation depends on
37. The ‘eye’ of the cyclone has
38. Given below are two statements, one labelled as Assertion (A) and other labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) The shift of ITCZ is greater over sea than land.
Reason (R) The land surface gets more heated than water bodies.
39. The lowest temperature is observed/recorded in which one of the following layers of the atmosphere?
40. What is the convergence of North-East and South-East trade winds near equator known as?
41. Most of the phenomena related to weather take place in
42. Mist is a result of which one of the following?
43. Which one of the following is applicable to collision-coalescence process of precipitation?
44. High temperature before rains, the skies are clear and circulation is anti-cyclonic are characteristics of
45. Which one of the following is the source region for the formation of air masses?
46. In the region of Eastern shore of Adriatic Sea, a cold and dry wind blowing down from the mountain is known as
47. Consider the following statements.
I. The approach of cyclone is characterised by a rise in barometric reading.
II. In the cyclones of the Northern Hemisphere, the winds circulate in anticlockwise direction.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
48. Assertion (A) 60°-65° latitudes in both the hemispheres have a low pressure belt instead of high pressure. Reason (R) The low pressure areas are permanent over oceans rather than on land.
49. 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.
50. Assertion (A) The monsoon winds of Southern and Eastern Asia are driven by the size of Asian landmass. Reason (R) The wind and pressure patterns in upper air circulation are associated with generation of monsoon winds.
