    The gradual increase in temperature of the world is regarded as

    • Green house effect

    • Ice age

    • Interglacial periods

    • Global warming

    Correct Answer
    A. Global warming
    Explanation
    Global warming refers to the long-term increase in Earth's average surface temperature due to human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation. This rise in temperature leads to various negative effects, such as melting ice caps, rising sea levels, and extreme weather events. The given answer, "global warming," accurately describes the gradual increase in temperature that is currently occurring worldwide.

    Is Basal Body Temperature lower or higher after ovulation?

    • Lower 

    • Higher

    Correct Answer
    A. Higher
    Explanation
    Basal Body Temperature is higher after ovulation than it was in the follicular (preovulatory) phase of the menstrual cycle. This is due to the production of pogesterone from the Corpus Luteum that occurs after ovulation. With the onset of the next menstrual cycle, when a woman is again in the preovulatory phase, BBT falls. If, on the other hand, pregnancy occurs, the BBT will remain elevated throughout pregnancy.

    Prediction of weather over next 3 to 5 working days is called

    • Weather forecast

    • Climate forecast

    • Weather update

    • Warning of weather

    Correct Answer
    A. Weather forecast
    Explanation
    The term "weather forecast" refers to the prediction of weather conditions over a specific period, typically the next few days. It involves analyzing various meteorological factors such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, and precipitation patterns to provide an estimate of what the weather will be like in the near future. This prediction is usually made for a specific region or location and helps individuals and organizations plan their activities accordingly.

    • Stress 

    • Both 

    • Neither 

    Correct Answer
    A. Both 
    Explanation
    Lots of things can affect how hot or cold you feel, including the weather. But caffeine and stress -- along with dehydration, exercise, and certain problems with your thyroid gland -- can all affect your body’s thermostat, too.

  • 7. 

    You lose most of your body heat through your head.

    • True

    • False 

    Correct Answer
    A. False 
    Explanation
    Your mom was looking out for you when she made you put on a hat to go out in the cold, but a warm coat and gloves were just as important. You’ll lose heat from any part of your body that’s not covered -- but no more than 10% of it escapes through your uncovered head. Keep warm by dressing right for cold weather from head to toe.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    When should Basal Body Temperature be taken?

    • After strenuous exercise

    • Before getting out of bed in the morning

    • After breakfast

    • Just before going to bed

    Correct Answer
    A. Before getting out of bed in the morning
    Explanation
    Basal Body Temperature (BBT), also referred to as your waking temperature, should be taken first thing in the morning, before getting out of bed and before any activity (including eating or drinking).

    The temperature of the lower stratosphere is equal to

    • -12

    • -60

    • 24

    • -93

    Correct Answer
    A. -60
    Explanation
    The temperature of the lower stratosphere is equal to -60. This means that at this altitude, the temperature is -60 degrees Celsius or -76 degrees Fahrenheit. The stratosphere is the layer of the Earth's atmosphere above the troposphere, and the lower stratosphere is closer to the Earth's surface. The temperature in this region is colder than at the Earth's surface due to various factors, including the decrease in heat transfer from the ground and the presence of ozone that absorbs and re-emits solar radiation.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    The Temperature of any area depends on its

    • Climate

    • Latitude

    • Longitude

    • Weather

    Correct Answer
    A. Latitude
    Explanation
    The temperature of any area depends on its latitude because latitude refers to the distance of a location from the equator. As latitude increases or decreases, the angle at which sunlight hits the Earth's surface changes, affecting the amount of solar energy received. Areas closer to the equator receive more direct sunlight and therefore tend to have higher temperatures, while areas farther away experience less direct sunlight and tend to have lower temperatures.
