A Correct answer
Explanation

In India, climatic variations are wide between different parts of the country and, thus, the patterns of clothing or garments are also different. For example, the eastern, southern and western zone climates are similar and can be recognized as hot-humid tropics. Garments with a loose covering of the body are the special features of these zones and this type of garment is essential for air movement across the clothing worn. Northern zone people usually wear a long type of dress, such as the pyjama or salwar and long kurta due to the less humid climatic conditions.

C Correct answer
Explanation

Atmosphere,

These spheres are closely connected. For example, many birds (biosphere) fly through the air (atmosphere), while water (hydrosphere) often flows through the soil (lithosphere). Interactions also occur among the spheres; for example, a change in the atmosphere can cause a change in the hydrosphere and vice versa.

The heat zones of earth arises due to ________ difference.

  1. temprature

  2. pressure

  3. humidity

  4. All of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The heat zone of earth arises due to the temperature difference. The classification of heat zones of the earth was first done by Greek Scholar Aristotle. The different heat zones of earth are: - Torrid Zone, Frigid Zone and Temperate zone. All these zones have different temperature range. Torrid Zone is the hottest zone among the zones of the earth.

Which of the following process is responsible for the smoke-like vapour which comes out of the mouth in winter?

  1. Precipitation

  2. Evaporation

  3. Condensation

  4. None of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation
  • When you exhale when it's cold outside, the water vapour in your breath condenses into lots of tiny droplets of liquid water and ice (solid water) that you can see in the air as a cloud, similar to fog which appears smoke like. This process is called condensation.
  • Hence Condensation process is responsible for the smoke-like vapour which comes out of the mouth in winter.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Condensation'.

Fog that most often forms as warm rain falls into a cold layer of surface air is called:

  1. Radiation fog

  2. Evaporation (mixing) fog

  3. Advection fog

  4. Upslope fog
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Evaporation (mixing) fog occurs when warm rain falls through a layer of colder air. The evaporation of the rain adds moisture to the cold air, which then saturates and condenses into fog.

Asian continent experience climatic extremes due to _______.

  1. large extent of the continent

  2. large coast lines

  3. Both a and b

  4. None of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation
Asian continent experience climatic extremes due to Large extent of the continent and large coastlines.
Asia is the largest continent of the earth, that’s why it has regions of a wide variety of climates; some of the coldest, hottest, wettest and some of the driest places on earth.
Factors that influence climate, are latitudes, distance from the sea, monsoon winds, the direction of mountain ranges, and ocean currents.
A large part of Asia lies more than 1500 km away from the sea. The interior parts of the continent experience extremes of temperature.
Monsoon winds shed their moisture to the south of the Himalayas and mountains of Central Asia.
Ocean currents act much like a conveyer belt, transporting warm water and precipitation from the equator toward the poles and cold water from the poles back to the tropics.
