Answer is Option A. -> Mangrove forests
Answer: (a) Mangrove Forest acts as barriers against cyclones and other natural disasters like tidal waves and tropical storms. They act as live sea walls against disasters and help minimise the damage done to property and life. They also slow soil erosion and stabilize tidal banks against rising sea level, another climate change hazard.

Answer is Option C. -> Snow area
Answer: (c) The percentage of radiant energy reflected back by a surface is called the albedo. The total amount of energy lost by scattering and reflection of various kinds and returned to space is called earth’s albedo.

Answer is Option D. -> Western European Type
Answer: (d)
Answer: (d)
Answer is Option B. -> increase
Answer: (b)If a planet has no atmosphere, all of the sunlight which strikes it reaches the surface, and usually 90% or more of that is absorbed and 10% or less is reflected back into space. Thus the temperature will increase.

Answer is Option A. -> Convection
Answer: (a) During the day, the sun warming the land also warms the air. Since land heats up quicker than water does, the air over land gets warmer than the air over the water. Consequently, the warmer air, being less dense moves up. To fill its place the cooler air over the water moves in to fill its place creating what is known as a Sea Breeze. Reversely, at night the land cools down faster than the water does, and creates a Land Breeze.
