Answer: Option A. -> hot
:
A
The climate in tropical region is generally hot. Thetropicsareregionsof the Earth which are nearthe equator and between theTropicof Cancer in the northern hemisphere and theTropicof Capricorn in the southern hemisphere.These regions receive direct sunlight throughout the year and hence the temperature in these regions ishigh.

The two regions of the Earth with extreme climatic conditions are the polar regions and the desert. Deserts have extreme hot climate and polar regions have extreme cold climate.

The various components of weather that can be measured are:
1. Temperature: Temperature of a place can be measured using a thermometer. It indicates how hot or how cold a place is.
2. Rainfall: The amount of rainfall that a place gets can be measuredusing a rain gauge.
3. Wind speed and direction: The direction and the speed of wind in a place can be measured using an Anemometer.
4. Humidity: Humidity indicates the amount of water content in the air.
The maximum temperature of the day is recorded in the afternoon, and the minimum temperature is recorded in the early morning.

a) The polar regions have an extreme climate. These regions are covered with snow and it is very cold for most part of the year.
b) For six months the sun does not set at the poles while for the other six months the sun does not rise.
c) In winters, the temperature can be as low as –37°C.

1. Higher temperatures cause air near the equator to expand and rise, creating a low pressure area.
2. Similarly, pressure differences between warm and cold air causeair to flow from a higher pressure region to alower pressure region.
3. Pressure differencesleadto theproduction of strong winds.
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
The timingsof sunrise and sunset changes throughout the yearbecause theEarth istilted on its axis, the path of the Sun across the sky variesand therefore, the rising and setting times change.

Answer: Option C. -> Hot and dry
:
C
Deserts experience very low precipitation, which means that the amount of rainfall received by this region is minimal. Due to this, there is very little vegetation in deserts. Therefore the climate of this area is hot and dry.

Answer: Option C. -> Hot and wet
:
C
The place is located near the equator so, it will be hot and it receivesheavy rainfall formost of the days so,the overall climate of the place will be hot and wet.

Answer: Option A. -> Assam
:
A
Tropical rainforests are found near the equator where the temperature is high and there is rainfall throughout the year. In India,tropical rainforestsare found in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands,theWestern Ghats,which fringe the Arabian Sea, the coastline of peninsular India, and the greater Assam region in the north-east.
