(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Sleet is precipitation composed of rain and partially melted snow. It forms when rain, while falling to the earth, passes through a layer of cold air and freezes. Sleet occurs when the temperature in the lowest part of the atmosphere is slightly above the freezing point of water (0 °C).


Q-2)   Which country has the highest percentage of its geographical area under forests?

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)


Q-3)   Condensation is the reverse of

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Condensation is the change of the physical state of matter from the gaseous phase into a liquid phase and is the reverse of vaporization.

When the relative humidity reaches 100 per cent, the air is completely saturated. The air temperature is said to be a dew-point.

Q-8)   Consider the following statements :
  1. Half the water vapour in the air in the atmosphere lies below an altitude of 1000 m.
  2. The amount of precipitable water in the atmosphere increases from the equator to the poles.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Half the water vapour in the air in the atmosphere lies below an altitude of 2 kilometres and 90 per cent of water vapour lies below an altitude of 5 kilometres.

The amount of precipitable water in the atmosphere increases from the poles to the equator.


Q-9)   Of the main constituents, which of the following have great influence in earth’s climatic conditions?

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)


Q-10)   The humidity of air depends on

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air. Humidity depends on water vaporization, and condensation, which, in turn, mainly depends on temperature. Temperature, in turn, is affected by weather and location.
