- Excess amount of Carbon dioxide is responsible for: a) global cooling b) global warming c) a and b d) none
- Which is the most important layer of the atmosphere? a) Troposphere b) Thermosphere c) Mesosphere d) None
- Stratosphere contains a layer of which gas: a) Nitrogen b) Ozone c) Helium d) None
- In which layer all weather phenomenon occurs? a) Troposphere b) Stratosphere c) Thermosphere d) Mesosphere
- In which direction the wind blows constantly throughout the year in particular direction a) Permanent winds b) Local winds c) seasonal winds d) a and b
- Which one of this is a local wind: a) sea breeze b) monsoon winds c) trade winds d) none
- Which of the following gases protects us from harmful sun rays? a) carbon dioxide b) Nitrogen c) Ozone d) all of these
- The incoming energy intercepted by the earth is termed as: a) solar energy b) sun rays c) radiation d) Insolation
- The hot and dry local wind in Northern Plains of India: a) land breeze b) Hot breeze c) Loo d) Monsoon
- This gas ii important for survival of plants and they cannot take it via photosynthesis; a) Oxygen b) carbondioxide c) Argon d) Nitrogen
- Troposphere average height is : a) 31Km b) 33Km c) 13 km d) 23 km
understanding:
- What is the result when the air is heated: a) heavier b) Lighter c) colder d) warmer
- As we go up in the layers of the atmosphere what is the effect in the pressure: a) increase b) decrease c) remains the same d) None
- Which of the following layers of the atmosphere is free from clouds? a) mesosphere, troposphere b) troposphere, stratosphere c) stratosphere, mesosphere
Application:
- Average weather condition of the place for a longer period of time is known as: a) temperature b) Humidity c) altitude d) climate
- How does our body react to air pressure: a) It is not affected at all b) get squeezed c) gets flattened d) exerts a counter pressure
Analysis:
Evaluation:
- Assertion A: Insolation is dependent on the distance traveled by sun’s rays entering the earth. Reason R: Thus more distance traveled by the sun rays the heat decreases.
a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A. b) Both A and R are true but R is not correct explanation of A. c) A is true but R is false d) A is false but R is true.
2. Assertion A: The meteorites entering the earth’s atmosphere start burning in the mesosphere. Reason R: The thin layer of air which is present here brings friction thus heating up the meteorite to burn up.
a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A. b) Both A and R are true but R is not correct explanation of A. c) A is true but R is false d) A is false but R is true.
3. Assertion A: Convectional rainfall occurs when air warms up and condenses when it reaches higher heights, rainfall happens. Reason R: These rains are happen near the equatorial region.
a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A. b) Both A and R are true but R is not correct explanation of A. c) A is true but R is false d) A is false but R is true.
