The main reason(s) for warm summers in northern middle latitudes is that:

  1. The earth is closer to the sun in summer

  2. The sun is higher in the sky and we receive more direct solar radiation

  3. The days are longer

  4. Only (b) and (c) are correct
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Warm summers in northern middle latitudes are primarily caused by the tilt of the Earth, which results in the sun being higher in the sky (more direct radiation) and longer daylight hours. The Earth's distance from the sun is not the primary cause of seasonal temperature changes.

What is altitude of menopause?

  1. 80 km

  2. 45 km

  3. 50 km

  4. 90 km
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The mesopause is located at approximately 80-85 km altitude. This is the boundary between the mesosphere and thermosphere and is the coldest part of the atmosphere. The question uses 'menopause' which appears to be a typo for 'mesopause' (a common atmospheric science term). 80 km is the closest approximation among the options.

The subtropical climatic zone lies between

  1. $0-22^{o}$ latitude
  2. $20^{o}-40^{o}$ latitude
  3. $40^{o}-60^{o}$ latitude
  4. $60^{o}-80^{o}$ latitude
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Subtropical climate zone:
Area - between the tropical zone and the temperate zone (25 degree to 40 degree North and South latitude).
Average temperature - 20 to 35 degree Celsius.
Precipitation - Dry, winter humidity and always wet areas.
Vegetation - Semi deciduous or evergreen forests, hardwood forest with winter rain, savannah, pasture land, semi desert, warm temperate moist forests, nemoral deciduous forests.

Which of the following is wrongly matched? 

  1. Temperate zone - 20-40$^o$ latitude

  2. Hypolimnion - thermal stratification in lakes

  3. Ozone layer - stratosphere

  4. Profundal zone - dark zone

  5. Ectotherms - cold blooded animals

A Correct answer
Explanation

From $23.5^0$N to $66.5^0$N and between $23.5^0$S and $66.5^0$S are the temperate zones, where there are clear spring/summer/fall/winter seasons. The north temperate zone extends from the tropic of cancer to the arctic circle. The south temperate zone extends from the tropic of capricorn to the antarctic circle. Between $23.5^0$S and $23.5^0$N latitude we have the tropics - where high temperatures are the norm, and the sun can beat down from directly overhead once or twice each year.

Tropical region occurs

  1. At 2$3^0$ N and 2$3^0$ S
  2. Between 2$3^0$ N and 2$3^0$ S
  3. Between $0^0$ and 2$3^0$ N
  4. Between $0^0$ and 2$3^0$ S
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Tropical region occurs at 23$^o$ N and 23$^o$ S. The region is present at the equator. It is limited in latitude by the tropic of cancer in the north and the tropic of capricorn in the south.

Thus, the correct answer is '23$^o$ N and 23$^o$ S.'

If at high altitudes, birds become rare, the plants likely to disappear are

  1. Pine

  2. Orchids

  3. Oak

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

Pines seeds are mainly small and winged, and are anemophilous generally, which means that the seeds are dispersed by wind. However, some seeds are larger and they have only a vestigial wing and are needed to be dispersed by a bird. Thus, If at high altitudes, birds become rare, the plants likely to disappear are Pine plants. Oaks are not generally found at such high altitudes.

So, the correct answer is 'Pine'.

In which of the following parts of Himalaya the 'tree line' is at the highest altitude?

  1. Estern Himalaya

  2. Kumaun Himalaya

  3. Garhwal Himalaya

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

The tree line in the Himalayas generally increases in altitude from east to west due to variations in precipitation and temperature, but the Eastern Himalayas are often cited for specific high-altitude vegetation zones; however, this is a complex biogeographical question where the Eastern Himalayas typically host higher biodiversity and distinct altitudinal limits.
