Multiple choice evs atmosphere- wind weather, climate and adaptation of animals to different climates climate and weather weather, climate and adaptations of animals to climate

The air temperature is $45^{o}F$,  the wind is blowing at $30 MPH$, and the wind chill temperature is $15^{o}F$. These conditions would be equivalent to:

  1. $A\, 15^{c}irc\, F$ air temperature and 0 MPH winds
  2. $A\, 30^{o}\,F$ air temperature and 45 MPH winds
  3. $A\, 30^{o}\,F$ air temperature and 15 MPH winds
  4. $A\, 15^{o}\,F$ air temperature and 30 MPH winds
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

By definition, the wind chill temperature of 15 degrees F is the temperature at which a person would feel the same level of cold if there were no wind (0 MPH).

At what time during a 24-hour day would a radiation temperature inversion best be developed?

  1. At sunset

  2. Near sunrise

  3. Toward the end of the morning

  4. Between 2 and 5 pm when the air temperature reaches a maximum
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

A radiation temperature inversion occurs when the ground cools rapidly at night, cooling the air in contact with it. This is most pronounced near sunrise, after the ground has been losing heat all night.

(a) Temperature about $25^o C . $
(b) Temperature about $5^o C . $
(c) Relative humidity of about 5 millibars
(c) Relative humidity of about 95 millibars
(e) A shaded place
(f) A brightly illuminated place.
Choose the answer from the following options :

  1. b, c and f only

  2. a, c and e only

  3. a, d and e only

  4. b, d and e only
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The essential conditions for the growth of mucor in a piece of bread are having a shaded place with the optimum temperature of $25^o C $ and relative humidity of 95 millibars

So, the correct answer is 'a,d and e only'

What is the ideal temperature required for the cultivation of coffee?

  1. $10^0C-15^0C$
  2. $10^0C-18^0C$
  3. $15^0C-20^0C$
  4. $15^0C-28^0C$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Ideal climatic conditions to grow coffee are related to temperature and rainfall; temperatures in the range of 73 °F (23 °C) and 82 °F (28 °C) with rainfall incidence in the range of 60–80 inches (1.5–2.0 m) followed by a dry spell of 2–3 months suit the Arabica variety.

Multiple choice geography agriculture in india - ii : food crops agricultural seasons and crops cash crops plantation of crops

What is the optimum temperature required for the production of Maize?

  1. $18^\circ$ to $22^\circ$
  2. $20^\circ$ to $24^\circ$
  3. $21^\circ$ to $27^\circ$
  4. $30^\circ$ to $37^\circ$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Maize is grown in temperatures between 21°C and 27°C during the day and around 14°C during the night. But the most important factor is the 140 frost-free days. The crop is very susceptible to frost; therefore, its cultivation in temperate latitudes is limited.

  3. Treated with citric acid
  4. Warmed at $60^o$C for $20$ minutes and cooled fast
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation
(D) Warmed at $ 60^{\circ}C $ for 20 minutes & cooled fast.
$ \rightarrow $ It is a process of heating a liquid to below the Boiling point to destroy microorganisms.
Milk is heated 155 to $ 175^{\circ}$ F i.e.' in Celsius scale about 68.3 to $ 81^{\circ}C $ for an Instant followed by cooling. A standardises milk and cleans extraneous matter from it.
Multiple choice evs - i the earth and its living world introduction to the spheres of the earth origin of universe introduction to natural resources

When first formed the early earth was very hot. Its surface temperature was :

  1. $ 1000^o-1200^o C $
  2. $ 3500^o-4000^o C $
  3. $ 5000^o-6000^o C $
  4. $ 8000^o-10000^o C $
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

During the Hadean Eon, the early Earth was extremely hot due to frequent collisions, radioactive decay, and gravitational contraction. Estimates for the surface temperature during this formation period are typically in the range of 5000 to 6000 degrees Celsius.

In mesosphere, the temperature :

  1. Rises from $-2^o $ to $ 15^o C $
  2. Rises from $-2^o $ to $ 92^o C $
  3. Decreases from $-2^o $ to $ -15^o C $
  4. Decreases from $-2^o $ to $ -92^o C $
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

In the mesosphere, the temperature decreases with altitude because there are very few molecules to absorb solar radiation. It drops from approximately -2 degrees Celsius at the stratopause to about -92 degrees Celsius at the mesopause.

Multiple choice evs - i the earth and its living world introduction to the spheres of the earth origin of universe introduction to natural resources

In thermosphere the temperature

  1. Rises with height to $200^0$ C
  2. Rises with height to $1500^0$ C

  3. First decreases then rises
  4. Decreases to - $150^0$ C
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

In the thermosphere, temperatures increase significantly with altitude due to the absorption of high-energy solar radiation, reaching temperatures up to 1500 degrees Celsius or more.
