- What is the correct sequence of the following zonal pressure belts?
- Subpolar low
- Equatorial low
- Polar high
- Subtropical high
- Select the correct answer using the codes given below:
- 2 − 3 − 1 − 4
- 1 − 4 − 2 − 3
- 2 − 4 − 1 − 3
- 1 − 3 − 2 − 4
- Temperature generally decreases towards the poles because
- Air movement is generally towards the equator
- Cold polar air masses prevent surface heating of the land
- Cold surfaces do not absorb solar energy as readily as warm surfaces
- Progressively lesser solar energy per unit area falls on the earth՚s surface as we move to polar regions
- A temperature inversion is most likely to occur under which of the following conditions?
- Mountain top in late evening
- Windy but cloudy night
- Calm, cloudy and humid night
- Calm, clear and cool winter night
- The clouds extending from one side of horizon to other as a dark grey sheet having uniform base are called
- Stratus clouds
- Cumulus clouds
- Cirrus clouds
- Nimbus clouds
- In the Hadley cell, rising air is found in the
- Subtropical high pressure zone
- Trade winds
- Westerlies
- Inter-tropical convergence zone (ITCZ)
- Which of the following are source regions of polar continental air masses?
- Northern Eurasia
- Australia
- North Atlantic
- Antarctica
- Select the correct answer using the codes given below:
- 1 and 2
- 2 and 3
- 1 and 4
- 2 and 4
- Which one of the following statements is correct? Hurricanes
