Indian Geography Chapter 10: TYPES OF CLOUDS
Q1:Which clouds indicate fair weather and good sunset. Look fibrous or wispy.
cirrus
cirrocumulus
cirrostratus
all
Q2: High clouds
Cirrus
Cirrocumulus
Cirrostratus
all
Q3: Medium clouds:
Altocumulus
Altostratus
both
none
Q4: Low clouds:
Stratocumulus
Stratus
Nimbostratus
all
Q5: Clouds with great vertical height:
Cumulus
Cumulonimbus
both
none
Q6: Thunder cloud brings rain with thunder and lightning.
Cumulonimbus
Cumulus
Nimbostratus
all
Q7:It is caused by smoke or dust in industrial areas or when there is unequal refraction of light in air of different densities in lower atmosphere
haze
mist
fog
all
Q8: It occurs in areas of high humidity where relative humidity is 75% +. Condensation of water vapor in air causes small water droplets to float about in lower atmosphere forming clouds.
haze
mist
fog
all
Q9: These are formed when water vapors condense on smoke or dust particles. A dense ground cloud is formed reducing visibility.
haze
mist
fog
none
Q10: Which is true ?
Although fogs are seen in tropics and temperate areas, they are denser in high and middle latitudes than tropics.
Fogs are more common over seas than land and prevalent in coastal areas.
Haze and Mist occur more commonly in dry interiors.
all
Q11: Which rainfall is seen in temperate regions and is reason for rainfall during winters there.
Frontal and cyclonic
Convectional
Orographic
all
Q12: Hot air formed due to sun's heating effect on oceans rises upwards and condenses. This rain is seen in equatorial and tropics.
Frontal and cyclonic
Convectional
Orographic
none
Q13: This is seen where moist air is forced to climb a mountain barrier. The windward sides of mountains see this rainfall.
Frontal and cyclonic
Convectional
Orographic
none
Q14: Rain shadow regions
receive high rainfall
receive relief rain
both
none
Q15: Which is true ?
High pressure is created by low temperature and descending air.
Low pressure is created by heat and rising movement of air.
both
none
Q16: The region along the equator and within 5 degree North and South is the equatorial low pressure belt is called.
Doldrum
horse latitude
both
tropics
Q17: Which is true ?
convectional rain is common throughout the year in equatorial areas.
The direct insolation leads to low pressure as the air is heated.
both
none
Q18:between 0° to 30° N and S of the equator the winds are
easterlies
westerlies
south west winds
none
Q19:between 30° to 60° N and S of the equator the winds are
westerlies
easterlies
south east winds
north east winds
Q20: between 60° to 90° N and S of the equator the winds are
westerlies
easterlies
south est winds
north west winds
Q21: Winds tend to blow from high pressure belts to low pressure but due to Earth’s rotation are deflected to right in north hemisphere and left in south hemisphere
newtons law
ferrels law
coriolis law
keplers law
Q22: Which is true ?
Coriolis force is absent at the equator but increases towards the poles
Due to large expanse of oceans in the Southern hemisphere compared to North, planetary winds blow harder.
both
none
Q23: Reasons for formation of deserts
winds lose moisture as they pass over the continents. The western margins of the continents don’t receive rain
deserts is they are on contact with cold currents that reach the western margins of the desert. These cold currents create a desiccating effect on the trade winds.
both
none
Q24: Which is true about westerlies ?
Due to absence of land mass in southern hemisphere they have high velocities.
Their direction is from west to east due to Coriolis force
They blow from sub tropic high pressure zone to sub polar low pressure zone
all
Q25: Rainfall in equatorial regions is mostly
frontal
cyclonic
orographic
convectional
