WEATHER CLIMATE AND ADAPTATIONS OF ANIMALS TO CLIMATE MCQs
:
A
Tropical rainforests have equal duration of days and nights because these areas are located near the equator.
:
A
The climate in Jammu and Kashmir is mostly cold. Jammu and Kashmir are regions located at higher altitudes. During certain period of the year, parts of Jammu experinces hot and sunny weather.
:
B
North East India receives rainfall for major portion of the year. Therefore, the climate of this region is wet.
:
A and B
Penguins are very good swimmers because of their streamlined bodies and webbed feet.
:
A
The Siberian Crane is a species of crane which migrates from Siberia to places in India like Bharatpur in Rajasthan, Sultanpur in Haryana and wetlands in the northeastern states, in order to escape the harsh winter conditions of their native country.

A and B
Weather is defined as the state of the atmosphere with respect to winds, temperature, cloudiness, moisture, pressure, etc.
:
A
The lowest temperature of a day generally occurs early in the morning, around sunrise.
This is because, during the night, in the absence of the Sun, heat is continuously lost by the Earth surface. Because of this the temperature drops. When the Sun rises, its rays do not reach us directly as a result, the temperature continues to fall further. Once the Sun's rays start becoming more direct, the temperature will begin to increase once again.

A
The average weather pattern of a place taken over a long period of time, say 25 years is called the climate of a place.
Weather is defined as the conditions of the atmosphere over a short interval of time. Whereas, the climate of a place is defined as the conditions of the atmosphere over a relatively long period of time.

The lion-tailed macaque (also called beard ape) lives in the rainforests of Western Ghats, a mountain range that runs almost parallel to the western coast of the Indian peninsula. This region is well known for its rich and unique flora and fauna.

Sun is the central ball of fire around which all planets move. The weather conditions on earth change depending on the amount of sunlight reaching the earth. The tilt of Earth’s axis relative to its orbit around the Sun results in changes in the duration of daylight and the amount of sunlight received at any place throughout the year. These changes cause the annual cycle of seasons. Therefore, we experience different weather conditions.
