Q-1) In which of the following countries of Africa, dense, hot and humid forest are found?
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
Q-2) Name the continent where ‘Tundra’ type of climate is not found
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
The meaning of the word ‘tundra’ is ‘a region in continents of Asia, Europe and North America, where the growth of trees is prevented due to low temperatures and permanently frozen subsoil’.
These kinds of geographic areas are found near the North Pole and the South Pole. In physical geography, the tundra is a biome where tree growth is hindered by low temperatures and short growing seasons.
There are three types of tundra: Arctic tundra, alpine tundra, and Antarctic tundra. In the tundra, the vegetation is composed of dwarf shrubs, sedges and grasses, mosses, and lichens. Scattered trees grow in some tundra.
Q-3) Air Pressure is lowest in
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
Summer experience lower Air pressure.
Q-4) The tropical cyclones do not occur close to the equator because of
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
Q-5) The jet aircraft fly very easily and smoothly in the lower stratosphere. What could be the appropriate explanation?
- There are no clouds or water vapour in the lower stratosphere.
- There are no vertical winds in the lower stratosphere.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct in this context?
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
The idea is to optimize fuel burn reason is the low air density that reduces parasitic drag on the airframe. It also allows them to stay above any hard weather (extreme turbulence).
Airflow in the stratosphere is much lesser turbulent than in the troposphere and this is the reason that jet aircraft like to cruise at stratospheric altitudes for, the flight is less “bumpy.” So statement 2 is correct. The majority of clouds form in the Earth’s troposphere, but there are occasions where clouds in the stratosphere and mesosphere are formed and have been observed.
Statement 1 which says that there are no clouds or water vapour in the lower stratosphere, is not a correct statement, to the extent that it does not explain the flight of jets in the lower stratosphere.
Q-6) Which of the following statements is/are correct?
- Cyclone is a low-pressure system.
- The wind movement is clockwise in the cyclone of the northern hemisphere.
Select the correct answer using the code given below:
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
Cyclones are moving bodies of air in an enclosed area rotating in the same direction as the earth. The air inside the cyclone moves anticlockwise in the Northern Hemisphere.

(c)
(d)
Q-8) Consider the following statements regarding the cumulonimbus clouds
- This cloud is also referred to as thunder clouds.
- This brings convectional rain.
- This is frequently seen in tropical afternoons.
- These are woolly, bumpy clouds arranged in layers appearing like waves in the blue sky.
Which of the above statements is/are not correct?
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
Q-9) Which of the following statements about tornadoes with their usually spin are correct?
- anticlockwise in the northern hemisphere.
- clockwise in the southern hemisphere.
- clockwise in the northern hemisphere.
- anticlockwise in the southern hemisphere.
Select the correct answer using the code given below:
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
Tornado–A rapidly rotating column of the air developed around a very intense low-pressure area, associated with a dark funnel-shaped cloud, originate in the USA.
The air is anticlockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere.
