Question 1
1 / -0

The mean temperature can be obtained by

A
Average of the temperature recorded during the month

B
Calculate the average of such average temperatures over many years

C
Average of the temperature recorded during one year

D
Both option A and B

Solution

Monthly mean temperature refers to the average of the maximum and minimum temperature of the months. The mean temperature is a valuable climatology tool that can assess an area's climate change. It can be calculated by adding up the daily mean temperatures for each day of a month and then dividing that sum by the number of days in the month.
Hence, the correct answer is ‘Average of the temperature recorded during the month’.
Question 2
1 / -0

The penguin lives in the cold regions. The adaptations that help to survive in these regions is/are

A
Flippers and webbed foot to help in swimming.

B
Thick layer of fat under the skin.

C
Huddling of the penguins to keep the body warm.

D
All of the above.
Question 3
1 / -0

The region that receives less rainfall and has the highest temperature in India is

A
Uttarakhand

B
Rajasthan

C
Karnataka

D
Maharashtra
Question 4
1 / -0

The range of temperature between -10 to -110 degree celsius is of

A
Clinical thermometer

B
Weather thermometer

C
Laboratory thermometer

D
All of the above
Question 5
1 / -0

What was the mean total rainfall of Srinagar in the month of February?

A
65

B
24

C
99

D

Solution
Question 6
1 / -0

Climate is the average weather pattern taken over an interval of

A
15 years or more

B
10 years or more

C
25 years or more

D
5 years or more
Question 7
1 / -0

Very small animals are rarely found in polar regions because

A
small animals have a larger surface area relative to their volume, so they lose body heat very fast when it is cold outside

B
small animals have a smaller surface area relative to their volume, so they lose body heat very fast when it iis cold outsiide

C
small body volume makes internal heat production very difficult

D
none of these

Solution

Temperature affects the the absolute size of an animal and the relative proportions of various body parts, Birds and mammals attain grater body size in cold regions than in warm areas. But poikilotherms are smaller in cold region. This is Bargeman's rue. This is true because small animals have larger surface area relative to their volume, so if they are in cold, they lose their body heat very fast. In cold climate, reduced surface area to volume ratio is ideal.
Question 8
1 / -0

When a liquid thermometer is held in direct sunlight,

A
It will accurately measure the air temperature

B
It will measure a much higher temperature than that of the air

C
It will measure a much lower temperature than that of the air

D
It will measure the temperature of the sun rather than the air
Question 9
1 / -0

Which of the following statements is/are correct?

A
The largest concentration of condensation nuclei are usually observed near the Earth

B
Wet haze restricts visibility more than dry haze

C
Fog is actually a cloud resting on the ground
