Ozone layer protects the earth from ____________.

  1. X-rays

  2. Infra-red rays

  3. Cosmic rays

  4. Ultra-violet rays
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation
  • The ozone layer blocks the harmful ultra-violet rays coming from the sun and prevents it from reaching the earth's surface thus play an extremely important role. However it cannot block x-rays, infrared rays or cosmic rays. Hence option D is correct.
  • The ozone layer is found in the lower stratosphere

'Green House Effect' means ________________.

  1. Pollution in houses in tropical regions

  2. Trapping of solar energy due to atmospheric oxygen

  3. Trapping of solar energy due to atmospheric carbon dioxide

  4. Cultivation in green houses so as to check pollution
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The greenhouse effect is the process where atmospheric gases, primarily carbon dioxide, trap heat radiated from the Earth's surface, preventing it from escaping into space.

In which layer of the atmosphere, ozone layer is present?

  1. Troposphere

  2. Stratosphere

  3. Mesosphere

  4. Thermosphere
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation
stratosphere
The ozone layer is mainly found in the lower portion of the stratosphere, from approximately 15 to 35 kilometers (9.3 to 21.7 mi) above Earth, although its thickness varies seasonally and geographically.
Multiple choice evs - i what is around us? atmosphere and its structures the atmosphere components of earth elements of weather and climate : temperature the earth's structure
The most important layer of atmosphere is ___________.

  1. Troposphere

  2. Thermosphere

  3. Mesosphere

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

The layer of atmosphere near the surface of the earth or the lower-most one is called the troposphere. The average thickness of this layer is about 14 km. Most of the weather forming phenomena occur in this layer. The significance of this layer is very crucial for the earth. It is the most important layer of the atmosphere.

When precipitation comes down to the earth in the liquid form, it is called ______.

  1. cloud

  2. rain

  3. snow

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

Precipitation of liquid water particles, either in the form of drops of more than 0.5 mm diameter or in the form of smaller widely scattered drops are called rain. Rain is precipitation of water in liquid state. The drops of rain are generally larger than of drizzle.

As we go up the layer of the atmosphere, the pressure ___________.

  1. increases

  2. decreases

  3. remains same

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

Air pressure always decreases with the increasing altitude. The decrease is caused by the compressional effect of the air above and its density. The decrease of temperature with increasing altitude in the atmosphere is called the vertical temperature gradient.

State whether these sentences are true (T) or false (F).
Carbon dioxide is an important constituents of air.

  1. True

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

True,

Carbon dioxide is a colorless and non-flammable gas at normal temperature and pressure. Although much less abundant than nitrogen and oxygen in Earth's atmosphere, carbon dioxide is an important constituent of our planet's air. A molecule of carbon dioxide (CO2) is made up of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms.
