A column of air 1 sq. em. in cross-sectional area extending from sea-level to the top of the atmosphere weights approximately.

  1. 933 g wt

  2. 1013 g wt

  3. 1136 g wt

  4. 1360 g wt
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Standard atmospheric pressure at sea level is approximately 1013.25 millibars, which corresponds to a force of about 1033 grams per square centimeter. 1013 g wt is the standard accepted value in many physics textbooks for this calculation.

The stratosphere is said to be ideal for flying jet aircraft because ____________________.

  1. the aircraft in this layer goes out of the firing range of antiaircraft gun

  2. the layer is free from violent weather change

  3. the temperature is constant and ideal for aircraft engine efficiency

  4. All of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The stratosphere is characterized by stable, stratified air and a lack of convective weather patterns, making it ideal for smooth flight. While temperature is stable, the primary reason for its suitability is the absence of turbulent weather.

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

Relative humidity is measure in terms of ________________.

  1. Grams per cubic diameter

  2. Centimeter per second square

  3. Bars

  4. Percentage
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Relative humidity is defined as the ratio of the amount of water vapor in the air to the maximum amount of water vapor the air could hold at that temperature, expressed as a percentage.

The process by which the condensed water from the clouds falls through the atmosphere and reaches the earth's surface as rainfall or snowfall is called _____________.

  1. Condensation

  2. Evaporation

  3. Precipitation

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

Precipitation is the general term for any form of water (liquid or solid) that falls from the atmosphere to the Earth's surface.

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

Find the odd one out.

  1. Evaporation

  2. Condensation

  3. Salination

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

Evaporation, condensation, and precipitation are all stages of the water cycle. Salination is the process of increasing salt content in soil or water, which is not a part of the water cycle.

Plants lose water to the air through _____.

  1. Transpiration

  2. Respiration

  3. Photosynthesis

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

Transpiration is the loss of water from a plant in the form of water vapor. Water is absorbed by roots from the soil and transported as a liquid to the leaves via xylem. In the leaves, small pores allow water to escape as a vapor.

The North Star is a part of the constellation ____________.

  1. Orion

  2. Big dipper

  3. Cassiopsiea

  4. Little dipper
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The North Star (Polaris) is part of the Little Dipper constellation, also known as Ursa Minor. It is the brightest star in this constellation and is located at the end of the Little Dipper's handle. The Big Dipper is part of Ursa Major, Orion is a separate constellation, and Cassiopeia is another distinct constellation.
