Answer: Option B. -> dry summer and wet winter
Answer: (b)
The climate is characterized by warm to hot, dry summers and mild to cool, wet winters. Mediterranean climate zones are associated with the five large subtropical high-pressure cells of the oceans:
the Azores High,
South Atlantic High,
North Pacific High,
South Pacific High, and
Indian Ocean High.
These high-pressure cells shift towards the poles in the summer and towards the equator in the winter, playing a major role in the formation of the world’s tropical deserts and the Mediterranean Basin’s climate.

Answer: Option A. -> Convection
Answer: (a)
The air moving across the surface towards the extra heated region is known as the trade winds. The region where the northern convective airflow meets the southern and the air starts heading up instead of across the surface is known as the doldrums by sailors.
The upwelling warm moist air expands, cools and drops heavy rain, but since it’s moving up instead of across it won’t fill sails.

Answer: Option C. -> All of the above
Answer: (c)Humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air. Humidity depends on water vaporization, and condensation, which, in turn, mainly depends on temperature. Temperature, in turn, is affected by weather and location.

Answer: Option D. -> Exosphere
Answer: (d)
The structure of the Exosphere says, the height of the volume sphere is above 500 km, having maximum hydrogen and helium and the researches are being done for its specific situation of the sphere.
Since the structure of the Atmosphere is divided into 6 spheres say–
Troposphere (up to 11 km),
Tropopause,
Stratosphere,
Ozonosphere,
Ionosphere and
Exosphere (above 500 km).

Answer: Option B. -> 1 and 2
Answer: (b)
Answer: (b)
Answer: Option D. -> 1 and 3 only
