Indian Geography Chapter 9: CLIMATOLOGY
Q1: Currently the proportion of gases in the atmosphere is
Nitrogen – 78%
Oxygen – 21%
Argon – 0.93%
all
Q2: Troposphere:
90% of atmosphere within 32 km. Tropopause is at 8 km at poles and 18km at equator. At equator cumulonimbus clouds are formed.
Temperature decreases with height.
It is transparent to shortwave radiation but G.H.G's absorb long wave terrestrial radiation.
all
Q3: Which is true ?
Weather phenomenon is formed at troposphere.
Climatic elements like temperature, pressure, humidity, precipitation, clouds lead to variations in local climate and weather phenomenon.
both
none
Q4: Which is true ?
The variable water content in the atmosphere leads to great contrast in weather and climate.
Without water in the atmosphere there would be no weather or climate
both
none
Q5: Stratosphere
Temperature increases with height
Ozone layer is present here and UV radiation is absorbed.
both
none
Q6: Which is true regarding stratosphere
has no dust, smoke or water vapor however seasonal temperature variations are seen.
Polar stratospheric clouds present. Spy planes, commercial planes and weather balloons fly here.
both
none
Q7:Mesosphere
No GHG's and temperature decreases with height. Noctilucent clouds seen.
Meteors burn in this layer.
both
none
Q8: Largest layer in atmosphere is
troposphere
stratosphere
thermosphere
mesophere
Q9: Thermosphere - Ionosphere
Gases in ionic state trap insolation. Temperature increases with height.
Ionosphere layer makes short wave radio transmission possible over long distances.
Reflects low frequency and high frequency waves but not very high or ultra high.
all
Q10: Sun’s energy reaches as solar or radiant energy by process called
scattering
diffraction
reflection
insolation
Q11: Blue Sky phenomenon is due to
reflection
scattering
diffraction
refraction
Q12: Which is true ?
Land is heated rapidly than water as the heat in water is spread out evenly due to the motion of water
Interiors of continents also face higher temperature variations than coastal areas as the moderating influence of the sea is not seen there.
both
none
Q13: Which is true regarding land and sea breeze.
The differential heating gives rise to land and sea breezes
The differential heating gives rise to land and sea breezes
both
none
Q14: Which is true ?
steep slope is heated faster than gentle slope.
Mountains having east west alignment also see their south facing ‘sunny slope’ have a higher temperature than their north facing ‘sheltered slope’.
both
none
Q15: Which is true ?
Dry soils heat and cool faster than wet soils
The darker soils also better absorbers of heat than lighter soils.
both
none
Q16: percentage of solar radiation reflected by the surface of the solar radiation that is incident.
radiation
insolation
difraction
albedo effect
Q17: Which is true ?
Lower albedo is for dark soil
higher albedo is snowfall.
both
none
Q18:Which is true ?
Air moves from high pressure area to low pressure area [advection]
When air gets warm it expands as it becomes lighter [convection].
both
none
Q19: Which is true?
When air is heated it goes up. If it has moisture it condenses and brings rain. However this causes instability
when air cools it can’t rise it sinks causing high pressure conditions or anti cyclonic conditions on ground.
both
none
Q20: Due to abnormal cooling The temperature at the bottom of the valley is lower than the top. This is called
albedo effect
frost
both
temperature inversion
Q21: Effects of temperature inversion:
Fog - The water droplets condensed around a dust particle. It reduces visibility and damages crops.
Frost
Atmospheric Stability
all
Q22: ____ is when water droplet condenses around a pollutant like SO2. It too reduces visibility and is a health hazard.
frost
fog
smog
all
Q23: Photochemical smog
it occurs in warm, dry and sunny climate
It is due to unsaturated hydrocarbons and ozone in presence on sunlight.
It is oxidizing smog.
all
Q24: Radio communication is possible due to
troposhere
stratosphere
exosphere
ionosphere
Q25: Meteors burn in the
ionosphere
troposhere
stratosphere
mesosphere
