10. Which one of the following provides the force needed to drive the atmospheric circulation?
11. All of the following types of climate occur in the Southern hemisphere except
12. Which one of the following statements is not correct?
13. Logically, what does a continually rising air pressure indicate?
14. Assertion (A) Pressure gradients determine the velocity of winds. Reason (R) When isobars (lines of equal atmospheric pressure) are closely spaced, the wind velocity would be gentle.

19. 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.
20. Why are dewdrops not formed on a cloudy night?
21. Which among the following gases has the most volume by percentage in the atmosphere among the choices given?
22. Assertion (A) The thickness of the atmosphere is maximum over the equator. Reason (R) High insolation and strong convection currents occur over the Equator.
23. 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.

25. onsider the following statements regarding atmospheric pressure cells.
I. Equatorial low pressure cell is located on either side of Equator from 23 1/2° N to 23 1/2° S.
II. The Horse latitude is a thermally induced pressure cell.
III. The sub-polar low pressure cell is more pronounced in Southern Hemisphere.
Choose the correct statements.

27. Which region of the Earth’s surface is called doldrums?
28. Which of the following regions has the most favourable conditions for the precipitation?
29. The angular speed of a whirl wind in a tornado towards the centre

31. Which one of the following is the characteristic climate of the Tropical Savanna Region?
32. 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.
33. Consider the following statements.
I. Jet streams occur in the Northern Hemisphere only.
II. Only some cyclones develop an eye.
III. The temperature inside the eye of a cyclone is nearly 10°C lesser than that of the surroundings.

36. Which one of the following river basins experiences the convectional rainfall?
37. Consider the following statements.
I. The Doldrums is a low pressure area around Equator where the prevailing winds are calm.
II. Chinook is a hot and dry wind that blows in winter and therefore raises the temperature in a short time.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
38. 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.
