Because of hail, crops may get destroyed and loss of life and property may also occur. What type of precipitation is this?
-
Concentric layer
-
Hail shower
-
Hailstones
-
All of above
The precipitation where hail occur with rainfall, that type of precipitation is called as hail showers. Because of hail, crops may get destroyed and loss of life and property may also occur.
Why hail do not occur in cold zones?
-
Because of lack of upward flow
-
Because of high upward flow
-
Because of fall in temperature
-
Because of rise in temperature
Hail do not occur in cold zones because of lack of upward flow.
Rain shadow area is associated with which type of rainfall?
-
Convectional rainfall
-
Orographic rainfall
-
Cyclonic rainfall
-
Frontal rainfall
Rain shadow area is associated with orographic rainfall. When the saturated air is obstructed by land form barrier such as mountain, it forced to ascend and as it rises, it expands and temperature falls. As a result, condensation takes place and rainfall occurs. In this type of presentation, the windward slope of the mountain receives maximum rain and the leeward slope remains generally drier and is known as the rain shadow area.
What is cyclone?
-
Specific air formation when the pressure at an area is less than the surrounding regions.
-
Specific air formation when the pressure at an area is high than the surrounding regions.
-
Rainfall
-
All of above
Specific air formation when the pressure at an area is less than the surrounding regions. This is called cyclone. Air from the surrounding region comes towards the center of the cyclone and starts moving upwards.
Why in equatorial areas, the surface get heated?
-
Because of sun's heat
-
Because of hot air
-
Because of acid rain
-
None of these
In equatorial areas, the surface gets heated because of the sun's heat and the air near it also gets heated. As it gets heated, it spreads and becomes lighter and moves upwards.
The Wind which descends on the Leeward Side is heated adiabatically and is called ____________.
-
loo
-
trade wind
-
katabatic wind
-
monsoon
Which o the following is mainly responsible for the orographic rainfall occurs?
-
Because of the obstruction of the mountains
-
Because of the sun's heat
-
Because of the convectional process
-
None of these
Winds coming from lakes or seas are moisture-laden. They are obstructed by the high mountain ranges coming in their way. They start going upwards along the slope of the mountains, the temperature of these winds drop and condensation occurs and rainfall takes place. Thus because of the obstruction of the mountains, this type of rainfall occurs.
The capacity of the air to hold water vapour _______.
-
Increases as the temperature increases
-
Decreases as the temperature increases
-
Increases as the temperature decreases
-
Decreases as the temperature decreases
Increases as the temperature increases,
Water on Earth comes mainly from which of the following?
-
Taps
-
Rain
-
Wells
-
None of these
The process by which water continually changes its form and circulates between oceans, atmosphere and land _____________.
-
Tides
-
Water cycle
-
Rain
-
Ocean currents
The water cycle describes how water evaporates from the surface of the earth, rises into the atmosphere, cools and condenses into rain or snow in clouds, and falls again to the surface as precipitation.
