geography water resources the atmosphere elements of weather and climate :humidity hydrologic cycle elements of weather and climate : temperature

  1. Isohyet

  2. Isobaths

  3. Isobar

  4. None of these

Show answer
Correct Option: A

Water in atmosphere is recharged through which one of the following process? 

geography water on earth the atmosphere elements of weather and climate :humidity hydrologic cycle elements of weather and climate : temperature

  1. Carbon cycle

  2. Nitrogen cycle

  3. Hydrological cycle

  4. Hydrogen cycle

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Water in atmosphere is recharged through hydrological cycle. In hydrological cycle, water is evaporated from the surface of the ocean. As moist air is lifted, it cools and clouds are formed by condensation of water vapors. These clouds transfer this water to ground through rains. Groundwater either seeps its way to into the oceans, rivers, and streams, or is released back into the atmosphere through transpiration. This cycle keeps repeating itself to keep balance of water.

Which of the following instruments is used for measuring relative humidity in air?

  1. Hydrometer

  2. Hygrometer

  3. Barometer

  4. Spherometer

Daily weather map showing isobars is an example of _______.

geography sun: the ultimate source elements of weather and climate : temperature the atmosphere elements of weather and climate :humidity

  1. Choropleth map

  2. Isopleth map

  3. Chorochromatic map

  4. Choroschematic map

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Daily weather map showing isobars is an example of the isopleth map. Isopleth maps may use lines to show areas where elevation, temperature, rainfall, or some other quality is the same; values between lines can be interpolated.

Which of the following is not correctly matched?

geography sun: the ultimate source elements of weather and climate : temperature the atmosphere elements of weather and climate :humidity

  1. Isopleth - A line joining places of equal height

  2. Isobar - A line joining places of equal pressure

  3. Isohyet - A line joining places of equal rainfall

  4. Isotherm - A line joining places of equal temperature

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Contour Lines are the lines joining places of equal height on a map. 

  • Isopleth: a line on a map connecting points having an equal incidence of a specified meteorological feature.
  • Isobar: a line on a map connecting points having the same atmospheric pressure at a given time or on average over a given period.
  • Isohyet: a line on a map connecting points having the same amount of rainfall in a given period
  • Isotherm: a line on a map connecting points having the same temperature at a given time or on average over a given period.
