Doldrums are belts of low atmospheric pressure obtained in the regions adjoining the equator to a distance of ________
Discuss
Answer & Solution
Answer: Option C
Solution:
Doldrums are belts of low atmospheric pressure obtained in the regions adjoining the equator to a distance of 5° latitude towards north and south. The Doldrums are regions of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans that have little if any wind. This was a particular problem for sailors in the past when they depended on the winds to propel their ships, a problem that could be potentially deadly. The Doldrums are caused by solar radiation from the sun, as sunlight beams down directly on area around the equator.

Consider the following statements:
1. The monsoon climate is found in Northern Australia.
2. The China type climate is found in Argentina.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Discuss
Answer & Solution
Answer: Option C
Solution:
The northern Australian monsoon season generally lasts from December to March. It is associated with the inflow of moist west to northwesterly winds into the monsoon trough, producing convective cloud and heavy rainfall over northern Australia. The China type climate is found in Argentina. Warm Temperate Eastern Margin Climate. This type of climate is found on the eastern margin of continent in warm temperate latitudes, just outside the tropics & comparatively has more rainfall than the Mediterranean climate in the same latitudes, coming mainly in summers.
13
Consider the following statements:
1. The variation in an average annual range of temperature at 15° latitude of Southern Hemisphere is much less than that at 15° latitude of Northern Hemisphere.
2. At latitudes poleward of 35° the incoming radiation exceeds the outgoing radiation in. Northern Hemisphere, whereas in Southern Hemisphere the outgoing radiation exceeds the incoming radiation.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Discuss
Answer & Solution
Answer: Option A
Solution:
The variation in an average annual range of temperature at 15° latitude of Southern Hemisphere is much less than that at 15° latitude of Northern Hemisphere.
14

III. Temperature generally decreases with latitude on either side of the equator
IV. Temperature rises to a maximum during summer and falls to a minimum during winter
Discuss
Answer & Solution

15
Fogs formed along, the sea-coast are due to ________
Discuss
Answer & Solution
Answer: Option A
Solution:
Advection fog is formed by the slow passage of relatively warm, moist, stable air over a colder wet surface. It is common at sea whenever cold and warm ocean currents are in close proximity and may affect adjacent coasts.
16
Which of the following statements is/are correct?
1. Cyclone is a low pressure system.
2. The wind movement is clockwise in the cyclone of northern hemisphere.
Select the correct answer using the code given below ________
Discuss
Answer & Solution
Answer: Option C
Solution:
Cyclone is a low pressure system. A cyclone is a storm or system of winds that rotates around a center of low atmospheric pressure. The wind movement is clockwise in the cyclone of northern hemisphere.
17
The total number of layers above Earth are
Discuss
Answer & Solution
Answer: Option B
Solution:
Earth's atmosphere is divided into five main layers: the exosphere, the thermosphere, the mesosphere, the stratosphere and the troposphere.
18
Troposphere is the hottest part of the atmosphere because
Discuss
Answer & Solution
Answer: Option C
Solution:
The troposphere is the layer of the atmosphere closest to the earth's surface where the weather takes place. The warmest temperatures in the troposphere are near the surface with the coldest temperatures being at the top of the troposphere.
19
Troposphere is the most warm part of the atmosphere because
Discuss
Answer & Solution
Answer: Option C
Solution:
The troposphere is the layer of the atmosphere closest to the earth's surface where the weather takes place. The warmest temperatures in the troposphere are near the surface with the coldest temperatures being at the top of the troposphere.
20
Cyclone is a system of wind blowing ________
Discuss
Answer & Solution
Answer: Option B
Solution:
A cyclone is storm system which is characterized by strong winds and a spiral arrangement of thunderstorms around an area of low pressure.
