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.

In which layer of atmosphere temperature remains constant?

  1. Mesosphere

  2. Thermosphere

  3. Stratosphere

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

In the stratosphere, the temperature increases with altitude due to ozone absorption of UV radiation, but there are regions where the temperature gradient is near zero or stable, often contrasted with the troposphere's lapse rate.

Which is second major layer of earth's atmosphere?

  1. Troposphere

  2. Mesosphere

  3. Thermosphere

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

The layers of the atmosphere starting from the surface are: troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere. Therefore, the stratosphere is the second layer.

Cyclones are mainly caused by 

  1. High-speed wind

  2. Diferential air pressure

  3. Uneven heating of land

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

The cyclone is the circulating mass of air that rotates around the center of low atmospheric pressure. It is caused due to uneven heating of the land. The uneven heating of land causes the difference in the air pressure and causes the strong flow of wind from high pressure to low pressure.

So, the correct answer is option D.
