Which of the following layer of atmosphere receives an extraordinary amount of energy from the sun?

  1. Stratosphere

  2. Ionosphere

  3. Mesosphere

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

The ionosphere contains high concentrations of ions and free electrons and is directly exposed to high-energy solar radiation, which causes ionization.

PAN is

  1. poisonous american nuisance

  2. primary air pollutant

  3. photochemical oxidant

  4. particulate atmospheric nitrogen compound
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

PAN (Peroxyacytyl nitrate) is a toxic chemical that is an important component of smog.PAN molecules are generally composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen atoms.

So the correct answer will be 'PARTICULATE ATMOSPHERIC NITROGEN COMPOUND'.

Which one of the following is a rich source of energy and never causes atmospheric pollution?

  1. Solar energy

  2. Nuclear energy

  3. Sewage

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

 solar energy is radiant light and heat from the Sun that is harnessed using a range of ever-evolving technologies. The solar energy is a promising rich source of energy which does not cause any atmospheric pollution.

so the correct answer is 'Solar Energy'.

Multiple Choice Questions
Which one is wrong statement?

  1. Ozone in upper part of atmosphere is harmful to animals

  2. Green house effect is a natural phenomenon

  3. Eutrophication is a natural phenomenon in freshwater bodies

  4. Most of the forests have been lost in tropical area.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Ozone in the upper layer of the atmosphere is also called as good ozone. It forms a layer of the protective sheet or shield against the harmful ultraviolet radiations of the sun. This protects all the life forms from the harmful effects of UV rays.

So, the correct answer is option A, ozone in upper part of atmosphere is harmful to animals.

Multiple Choice Questions
The zone of atmosphere In which ozone layer is present is

  1. Troposphere

  2. Stratosphere

  3. Mesosphere

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

Ozone is a triatomic gas forming a layer of protective shield against harmful radiations of the sun such as UV-B and UV-C. The ozone layer is present in the upper part of the atmosphere called Stratosphere.

So, the correct answer is option B, Stratosphere.

The aurora is produced by:

  1. Reflections of sunlight by polar ice fields

  2. Fast-moving charged particles colliding with air molecules

  3. Burning oxygen caused by the intense sunlight at high altitude

  4. The combination of molecular and atomic oxygen to form ozone
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Auroras occur when charged particles from the sun (solar wind) collide with atoms and molecules in the upper atmosphere, exciting them and causing them to emit light.
