1. Which one of the four regions above Earth has smallest height (km)?
2. “Climate is extreme, rainfall is scanty and the people used to be nomadic herders.” The above statement best describes which of the following regions?
3. Which one of the following gases is found in highest quantity in exosphere?
4. 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?
5. 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?
6. Which one of the following instruments is used for measuring the humidity of the air?
7. Assertion (A) Within the mesosphere, temperature decreases with increasing altitude. Reason (R) This is due to decreasing solar heating and increasing cooling by CO₂ radiative emission.
9. Which one of the following provides the force needed to drive the atmospheric circulation?
10. Why the Summer monsoon winds blow from South-Western direction in the Northern Hemisphere?
11. Most of the Indian Peninsula will be grouped according to Koeppen’s system under
12. Which one of the following statements about the atmosphere is correct?
13. 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.
14. A new type of El Niño called El Niño Modoki appeared in the news. In this context, consider the following statements.
I. Normal El Niño forms in the Central Pacific Ocean, whereas El Niño Modoki forms in Eastern Pacific Ocean.
II. Normal El Niño results in diminished hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean, but El Niño Modoki results in a greater number of hurricanes with greater frequency.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

19. Most ozone gas (about 90%) is located in the atmospheric layer of
20. 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?
21. Wind is often found to blow in a hot summer day due to
22. La Niña is suspected to have caused recent floods in Australia. How is La Niña different from El Niño?
I. La Niña is characterised by unusually cold ocean temperature in equatorial Indian Ocean, whereas El Niño is characterised by unusually warm ocean temperature in the equatorial Pacific Ocean.
II. El Niño has adverse effect on South-West monsoon of India, but La Niña has no effect on monsoon climate.

24. High temperature before rains, the skies are clear and circulation is anti-cyclonic are characteristics of
25. 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.
26. Most of the phenomena related to weather take place in
27. The phenomenon of ‘trade winds’ takes place due to
28. In temperate region frontal activity plays active role in deciding weather. Choose the correct statement regarding it.
I. Process associated with creation of new fronts or regeneration of decaying fronts is called frontogenesis.
II. Destruction of fronts is called frontolysis.
29. Which one of the following is not true in reference to air mass?

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.
