Sea breeze and land breeze

physics air, winds and cyclones wind and rain example of some natural phenomena uneven heating of earth the concept of bernoulli's principle

  1. are caused by currents set up in air due to conduction

  2. are caused by currents set up in air due to convection

  3. are caused by currents set up in air due to radiation

  4. have no relation to conduction, convection and radiation

Show answer
Correct Option: A

State whether true or false.
The land and sea breezes are based on the fact that the specific heat of vaporisation of steam is very high.

physics air, winds and cyclones wind and rain example of some natural phenomena uneven heating of earth the concept of bernoulli's principle

  1. True

  2. False

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:
The statement is true.
The specific heat capacity of water is much higher than that of sand. Air above land becomes more warmer than water during day. So cold air above water or sea blows to land known as sea breeze and vice versa for land breeze.

As one goes up from earth's surface, the temperature of air:

  1. increases

  2. decreases

  3. first increases and then decreases

  4. first decreases and then increases

Show answer
Correct Option: D

Fog can be defined as:

  1. Smoke from cigarette

  2. Polluted air from vehicles

  3. Clouds forming close to the ground

  4. A combination of smoke and dust particles

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Fog is a thick cloud of tiny water droplets suspended in the atmosphere at or near the earth's surface which obscures or restricts visibility.

Which of the following statements is true regarding the properties of air?

biology properties of natural resources the concept of bernoulli's principle variations in atmospheric pressure air exerts pressure

  1. It is a good conductor of electricity

  2. It is a good conductor of heat

  3. It is translucent in nature

  4. None of these

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Air is a good conductor of heat.

It is a good conductor of electricity.
It is translucent in nature.
Hence, option $(D)$ is the answer.

Which of the following can show the direction of wind ?

biology properties of natural resources the concept of bernoulli's principle variations in atmospheric pressure air exerts pressure

  1. Anemometer

  2. Wind wane

  3. Wind mill

  4. Barometer

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Anemometer: Used to measure the speed of the wind.


Wind wane: Used to show the direction of wind.


Windmill: Converts wind energy to rotational energy.

Barometer: Used to measure atmospheric pressure. 


Hence, option B is correct.

Which of the following is not true about air?

biology properties of natural resources the concept of bernoulli's principle variations in atmospheric pressure air exerts pressure

  1. air can be separated into components

  2. it can be liquefied

  3. liquid nitrogen has a b.p of $-196^\circ C$

  4. air has a chemical formula

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The statement which is not true about air is that it has a chemical formula. Air has no chemical formula. It is a mixture of gases.
