Climate, Weather, and Geography

2,194 Questions

Climate, weather, and geography examine temperature variations, wind patterns, atmospheric hazards, and global climate zones. This hub addresses climographs, thunderstorm triggers, and regional climate descriptors. These concepts are essential for UPSC, SSC, and RRB general studies and geography exams.

Climate, Weather, and Geography Questions

Multiple choice geography world of diversities elements of weather and climate :rainfall and air pressure diversified world environmental regions (zones)

The difference in the day and night temperature is less in the continental areas.

  1. True

  2. False
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

In the continental area, the difference of temperature in the day and night is high. As the land gets heated quickly at the same time it cools down quickly. So during the day due to the sun, the temperature is high at the same time temperature is comparatively low at night because of the absence of Sun rays.

Multiple choice evs our solar system asteroids, comets, and meteors and meteorites other objects in solar system asteroids, comets and meteors

Why tail of comets is formed ,when it comes closer to sun ?

  1. Ice presents in the comets gets vapourised

  2. When is comes closer to sun ,vapour converts in to ice

  3. Dust particle in the comets gets heated

  4. Water present in comets gets cooled
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The tail of comets so formed, When comets come closer to the sun, because the sun's heat vaporizes some of the comets' material, releasing dust particles that were trapped in the ice.

The correct option is A.

Multiple choice adaptations - european woodland and african grassland adapting to a habit plant adaptations adaptations to different ecosystems biology

Plants in cold regions shed leaves during ....... season.

  1. Summer

  2. Winter

  3. Spring

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

Plants shed their leaves in cold region due to the scarcity of water. leaves have tiny holes which cause loss of lots of water. All around snow and no availability of water by shedding their leaves plant utilises remaining water and survive in winter. Thus, the correct option is B.

Multiple choice geography structure of ocean floor relief of the ocean ocean water movement ocean circulation

Land and Sea breezes are basically caused by ______________.

  1. Temperature variations in summer and winter

  2. Differential heating between land and sea

  3. Convergence of warm and cold currents

  4. None of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Land and Sea breezes are basically caused by differential heating between land and sea.

During the day, the wind will blow from the higher pressure over the water to lower pressure over the land causing the sea breeze. The sea breeze strength will vary depending on the temperature difference between the land and the ocean. At night, the roles reverse. The air over the ocean is now warmer than the air over the land. So the pressure over water is low and high on land. So we have a land breeze blowing from land to sea. 

Multiple choice geography biosphere and landscape alternatives for minimising depletion of natural resources components of environment effects and successes of environment conservation

An area surrounding the existence of various living beings is called ___________.

  1. Humidity

  2. Ozone

  3. Environment

  4. Water
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself

Explanation

The environment is defined as the sum of all living and non-living elements and the conditions that surround and influence the life of an organism or a group of organisms.

Multiple choice evs - i for a pollution free nature ways to prevent air pollution ways to reduce air pollution reducing air pollution

The day-to-day condition of the atmosphere at a place with respect to the _______ is called the weather at that place.

  1. temperature

  2. humidity, rainfall

  3. wind-speed

  4. all of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The day to day condition of the atmosphere at a place with respect to $temperature, humidity, rainfall\, and\, wind-speed$ are called the weather at that place.

Multiple choice physics some natural phenomena how lightning occurs? the story of lightning advanced of lightning

Fill in the blanks:

During the development of a thunder-storm, the air currents move ________ while the water droplets move _______.

  1. downward, upward

  2. upward, downward

  3. downward, downward

  4. upward, upward
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Thunder-storm occurs due to vigorous movements of air currents upward and water droplets downward. This leads to separation of charges.

Multiple choice physics winds, storms and cyclones wind and rain example of some natural phenomena uneven heating of earth

Wind currents are generated due to:

  1. Uneven heating between the equator and the poles

  2. Change in atmospheric pressure

  3. Thunderstorm

  4. Cyclone
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The correct answer is option(A).

We know poles are cooler than equator as highest intensity of the sun's heat and light falls on the equator and it reduces as we go either side of the equator towards the poles. Cooler air from the surrounding areass of the equator comes towards the equator to fill the place of warm air which rises up due to sun's heating. Hence, wind currents are generated due to uneven heating.

During night time cool breeze blows from_to __

  1. land, sea

  2. sea,land

  3. mountain,land

  4. land,mountain
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
During night time cool breeze blows from land to sea.
As we know, water is good absorber of heat, it takes more time to heat up and cool down water than that of land. And during night, land cools down quickly than that of water causing high pressure over land and hot air above water causes low pressure over water. As we know wind blow from higher pressure to lower pressure, so during night cool breeze blows from land to sea.
