  2. temperature inversion

  3. a type of cloud

  4. None of the above

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Frost hollows occur in low-lying areas where cold, dense air settles due to temperature inversion, leading to lower temperatures than the surrounding higher ground.

At which city might you be able to observe cirrus clouds at an altitude of 3,000 m (10,000 feet) above the surface?

  1. Barrow, Alaska

  2. Honolulu, Hawaii

  3. Miami, Florida

  4. Chicago, Illinois

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Cirrus clouds are high-altitude clouds. In polar regions like Barrow, Alaska, the tropopause is much lower than in tropical regions, allowing high-altitude clouds to exist at lower absolute altitudes.

Multiple choice physics rotational motion of a rigid body and moment of inertia angular momentum (l) and conservation of angular momentum angular momentum in case of rotation about a fixed axis law of conservation of angular momentum

If the ice at the poles melts and flows towards the equator, how will it affect the duration of day-night?

  1. Increase

  2. Decrease

  3. Remain same

  4. none of these

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

 Mass will move towards equator (away from axis) So, I will increase. Therefore $\omega$ will decrease
(as $I \omega =$ constant) Hence, time period will increase
$\displaystyle \left( as T=\frac{2 \pi}{\omega} \right) $
Duration of day-night increase

Multiple choice biology living in harmony climate factors abiotic components organisms and environment

Which of the following is a climatic factor?

  1. Oxygen

  2. Temperature

  3. Soil structure

  4. Altitude

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The constituents of the environment, which directly or indirectly influence the form and functioning of organisms in any specific way are known as environmental factors. They are of two types: abiotic and biotic. 

The abiotic factors are of four types-
  1. Climatic (light, air, temperature, humidity, precipitation)
  2. Edaphic (soil)
  3. Topographic (surface behaviour of earth)
  4. Fire 
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.

Multiple choice biology living in harmony climate factors abiotic components organisms and environment

Which of the following is most ecologically relevant factor ?

  1. Precipitation

  2. Temperature

  3. Soil

  4. Wind

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
Precipitation is any form of a liquid or solid water particles that falls from the atmosphere and reach the surface of the earth. Its effect deflect the temperature, wind and humidity. 
So the correct answer is 'Precipitation'.
