Consider the following statements
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Solution (c)
CO2 is a meteorologically very important Gas. It is transparent to incoming Solar radiation and opaque to outgoing terrestrial radiation. It absorbs a part of terrestrial radiation and reflects back some part of it towards the Earth surface.
Hence statement 1 is correct.
It is largely responsible for the Greenhouse effect. It is also a is a primary Greenhouse gas. The volume of CO2 is rising over the decades because of burning of fossil fuel.
Hence statement 2 is correct.

Consider the following statements
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Solution (a)
The Air never remains static in Troposphere. That’s why it is called “Changing sphere”. Thickness of Troposphere is greatest at the Equator. Reason – The strong convectional currents transports the heat to greater heights near the Equator.
Hence statement 1 is correct.
All the climate and weather changes occur in Troposphere.
Hence statement 2 is incorrect.
Weather related incidents do not take place in Stratosphere. The air blows horizontally in Stratosphere. Therefore this layer is considered ideal for flying of aircraft.
Hence statement 3 is incorrect.

Which of the following pairs is/are NOTCORRECTLY matched:
Local wind :: Area
Select the answer using the code given below
Solution (d)
Chinook is a hot and dry wind that blows in the Rockies Mountains.
Hence statement 1 is incorrect.
Bora is a cold and dry wind that blows from Hungary to North Italy.

The main reason that the earth experiences highest temperatures in the subtropics in the northern hemisphere rather than at the equator is:
Solution (a)
The main reason that the earth experiences highest temperatures in the subtropics in the northern hemisphere rather than at the equator is that the Subtropical areas tend to have less cloud cover than equatorial areas.
The equator does not experience the highest temperatures on the Earth. Here, rising air generates daily thunderstorms that consume considerable amounts of heat energy, suppressing the air temperature by several degrees Celsius.
The greater cloud cover also helps to reduce the amount of sunlight. In fact, the hottest places on Earth lie in the subtropical climate zone of high pressure between latitudes 25 to 40°, where cloud cover is virtually non-existent and sunshine levels are very high throughout the year.

Arrange the following permanent gases of the atmosphere in increasing order of their percentage by volume in the atmosphere
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Solution (b)
Consider the following statements:
Which of the above statements is/are NOT CORRECT?
Solution (a)
When an air parcel is pushed up, first dry adiabatic cooling take place and then wet adiabatic cooling take place.
Hence statement 1 is incorrect.
During dry adiabatic cooling air contains water vapour and during wet adiabatic cooling air contains condensed water.
Hence statement 2 is incorrect.
Dry adiabatic cooling is a physical phenomenon which occurs due to change in density as the air parcel moves up. The rate is constant across the world. On contrary, during wet adiabatic cooling, water starts condensing. Due to condensation, latent heat is released which reduces the net rate of cooling. More the heat is released, slower the rate of cooling becomes. That’s why it is not constant.
Hence statement 3 is correct.

Which of the following statements is/are correct with reference to the Convectional rainfall?
Choose the correct answer from the code given below:
Solution (a)
Convectional rainfall occurs in the areas of intense heat and abundant moisture.
Hence statement 1 is correct.
Solar radiation is the main source of heat to produce convectional currents in air.
Hence statement 2 is correct.
This type of rainfall is not much effective for crops as most of the water is drained off in the form of surface drainage.
Hence statement 3 is incorrect.
