Question 12. Mediterranean climate is not found in which among the following town?
  1.    Rome
  2.    Los Angeles
  3.    New York
  4.    Cape Town
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> New York
Answer: (c)
Question 13. Which is the warmest layer of the atmosphere?
  1.    Troposphere
  2.    Thermosphere
  3.    Mesosphere
  4.    Stratosphere
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Thermosphere
Answer: (b)
The thermosphere is the hottest layer of the atmosphere. It extends from 80 kilometres above the surface of the Earth up to 600 kilometres and can heat up to 1,500 degrees Celsius because it’s very sensitive to solar activity.
The air is thin and extremely hot, and there are sparse air molecules in this layer.
Question 14. In the South Atlantic and SouthEastern Pacific regions in tropical latitudes, cyclone does not originate. What is the reason?
  1.    Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone seldom occurs
  2.    Sea surface temperatures are low
  3.    Absence of land in those regions
  4.    Coriolis force is too weak
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Sea surface temperatures are low
Answer: (b)
Question 15. Roaring forties are the
  1.    High velocity westerly winds
  2.    High velocity trade winds
  3.    High mangitude tidal waves due to high wind velocity
  4.    High velocity polar winds
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> High velocity westerly winds
Answer: (a)Roaring forties are the high velocity which winds blow persistently from the west areas between latitudes 40° and 50° south in the Southern Hemisphere.
Question 16. Assertion (A): The surface winds spiral inwards upon the centre of the cyclone.
Reason (R): Air descends at the centre of the cyclone.
Code
  1.    Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
  2.    Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
  3.    (A) is false, but (R) is true
  4.    (A) is true, but (R) is false
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
Answer: (b)
Question 17. The density of the earth’s atmosphere is highest in the
  1.    Stratosphere
  2.    Troposphere
  3.    Ionosphere
  4.    Mesosphere
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Troposphere
Answer: (b)
Over 99% of the mass of the earth's atmosphere is contained in two layers: the troposphere and the stratosphere. Most of the earth's atmosphere (80 to 90%) is found in the troposphere, the atmospheric layer where we live.
This layer, where the earth's weather occurs, is within about 12 km of the earth's surface.
Question 18. Daily weather changes in the atmosphere are associated with
  1.    Mesosphere
  2.    Troposphere
  3.    Stratosphere
  4.    Ionosphere
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Troposphere
Answer: (b)The lowest layer of the atmosphere, 6 miles (10 km) high in some areas and as much as 12 miles (20 km) high in others, within which there is a steady drop in temperature with increasing altitude and within which nearly all cloud formations occur and weather conditions manifest themselves.
Question 19. Which of the following is the annual precipitation of an area?
  1.    The total actual amount of rain, snow, hail and sleet
  2.    All forms of precipitation converted to the quantity of liquid water
  3.    All forms of precipitation measure after conversion to equal quantity of ice
  4.    The total amount of rain per year, irrespective of snow, hail and sleet
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> All forms of precipitation converted to the quantity of liquid water
Answer: (b)
Question 20. Typhoons are common in the
  1.    Seas of China and Japan
  2.    Arctic Ocean
  3.    Indian Ocean
  4.    Mexican Gulf
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Seas of China and Japan
Answer: (a)Typhoons are common in the China Sea and along the margins of the west Pacific Ocean.
