What is precipitation?

  1. Water falls in the solid or liquid state from the clouds to ground.

  2. Water vapor in the atmosphere.

  3. Type of snow

  4. None of these

A Correct answer
Explanation

When water falls in the solid or liquid state from the clouds to ground it is called precipitation. Snow, hailstones, rainfall are the major forms of precipitation.

What is condensation?

  1. Water vapour in the atmosphere.

  2. The process by which water vapour in the atmosphere changed into liquid water.

  3. Water fall in the solid or liquid state.

  4. None of these

B Correct answer
Explanation

The process by which water vapour in the atmosphere changed into liquid water is called condensation. As the atmospheric conditions change, we see change in the forms of condensation.

Which rainfall is also known as the relief rainfall?

  1. Convectional rainfall

  2. Frontal rainfall

  3. Orographic rainfall

  4. Cyclonic rainfall
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

When the saturated air his obstructed by land form barrier such as mountains, it is forced to ascend and as it rises, it expands and temperature falls. As a result, condensation takes place and rainfall occurs. This type of rainfall is called as relief rain or orographic rainfall.

In orographic rainfall, the leeward side of the mountain gets heavy rainfall.

  1. True

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

In orographic rainfall, the windward slope of the mountain receives maximum rain and the leeward slope remains generally drier and is known as the rain shadow area.

When the concentric layer are formed in a hail?

  1. While the hail falls towards the ground.

  2. While the hail grow in size.

  3. While the hail taken upward due to air flow.

  4. All of above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

As hailstones are heavy, they fall towards the ground, but because of the frequent upward flow of air, they are repeatedly taken upwards. Here a new layer of snow encapsulates the hail. This happens quite a few times. Hence concentric layers are formed while the hail grows in size.

Multiple choice geography hydrologic cycle the atmosphere elements of weather and climate :humidity hydrologic cycle and its components elements of weather and climate : temperature

How hailstones are formed?

  1. Due to solidification of water droplets

  2. Due to humidification of snow.

  3. Due to change in temperature.

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

Because of the upward movement of air, the water droplets go to higher altitude and solidification of these droplets occur and hailstones are formed.

Because of hail, crops may get destroyed and loss of life and property may also occur. What type of precipitation is this?

  1. Concentric layer

  2. Hail shower

  3. Hailstones

  4. All of above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The precipitation where hail occur with rainfall, that type of precipitation is called as hail showers. Because of hail, crops may get destroyed and loss of life and property may also occur.
