Questions Related to moisture in atmosphere

The modern self-recording instrument which records the quantity and the duration of rainfall on a graph paper is called as _______________.

geography precipitation elements of weather and climate :rainfall and air pressure forms of precipitation moisture in atmosphere

  1. Rain gauge.

  2. Barometer.

  3. Rain graph.

  4. Pluviograph.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

It is asking about the instrument not the graph. The Instrument is Rain gauge.

A rain gauge (also known as an udometer, pluviometer, or an ombrometer) is an instrument used by meteorologists and hydrologists to gather and measure the amount of liquid precipitation over a set period of time.

A place where weather conditions are constantly monitored and recorded is called as ________.

geography precipitation elements of weather and climate :rainfall and air pressure forms of precipitation moisture in atmosphere

  1. weather station

  2. weather platform

  3. weather forecasting

  4. None of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A place, where weather conditions are constantly monitored and recorded, is called a weather station. All data related to weather and environment is recorded here. A weather station has sensors. Sensors include a thermometer to take temperature readings and a barometer to measure the pressure in the atmosphere. There are also sensors to measure rain, wind, humidity and more. Weather Station even has computers having internet connection so that data can be analyzed properly.

Barometer is used to measure ______.

  1. temperature

  2. pressure

  3. heat

  4. none of these

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A barometer is a meteorological instrument which is used to measure atmospheric pressure. Atmospheric pressure is balanced by a column of mercury in case of a mercury barometer. Mercury is used because its height can be precisely measured. A barometer can also be used to measure altitude because atmospheric pressure changes with distance above or below sea level. There are two types of barometers:- mercury and aneroid. 

Special cell to help farmers with information about rainy and sunny days, drought conditions and wind.

  1. Agriculture Meterology

  2. Food Meterology

  3. Environment Metrology

  4. none of these

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Agricultural meteorology is the branch of meteorology that deals with the relationship of weather and climate to crop and livestock production and soil management. Agricultural Meteorology involves the integration of climatological and meteorological data and techniques into agricultural problems, such as crop production, soil moisture, moisture stress, and migration of pests. A good background in basic math and sciences is required.

The peninsular part of India experiences peak summers earlier than northern India _____.

geography precipitation elements of weather and climate :rainfall and air pressure forms of precipitation moisture in atmosphere

  1. Due to apparent northward movement of the sun, the global heat belts shift northwards

  2. Cold waves from central Asia sweeps through the northern plains during that time

  3. There is less rainfall in the peninsular India during that time

  4. Clouds do not form in those months

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Peninsular India experience peak summers earlier when compare to north India due to the apparent northward movement of the sun, the global heat belt shifts northward. In March, the highest temperature is about 38° Celsius, recorded on the Deccan plateau. In April, temperatures in Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh are around 42° Celsius. In May, temperature of 45° Celsius is common in the north-western parts of the country.

The pattern of the elements of weather and climate can be shown with _________________.

  1. line graph

  2. pie diagram

  3. histogram

  4. climograph

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A climograph is a graphical representation of monthly average temperature and precipitation at a location. From this representation, one may observe the variations in elements, such as humidity levels, which help to indicate the pattern of elements of weather and climate. 

The spherical shape of rain drops is due to __________________.

geography precipitation elements of weather and climate :rainfall and air pressure forms of precipitation moisture in atmosphere

  1. Atmospheric friction of air

  2. Gravity of spherical earth

  3. Surface tension of rain water

  4. Viscosity of rain water

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Raindrops start to form in a roughly spherical structure due to the surface tension of water. This surface tension is the "skin" of a body of water that makes the molecules stick together. The cause is the weak hydrogen bonds that occur between water molecules.

Which of the following is the largest and the deepest ocean of the world?

  1. Arctic

  2. Atlantic

  3. Pacific

  4. Indian
