    Which of the following instruments is used to measure tempreature ? 

    • Barometer

    • Thermometer

    • Rain gauge

    • Hygrometer

    Correct Answer
    A. Thermometer
    Explanation
    A thermometer is used to measure temperature. It consists of a narrow glass tube filled with a liquid, usually mercury or alcohol, that expands or contracts with changes in temperature. The liquid rises or falls in the tube, indicating the temperature. This instrument is commonly used in various fields such as weather forecasting, medical applications, and scientific research to accurately measure and monitor temperature levels.

    What is the definition of Climate ? 

    • The prevailing or average weather conditions of a place

    • The total amount of water found in the oceans

    • The amount of rainfall in the entire year

    • The constant change in tempreature over a month

    Correct Answer
    A. The prevailing or average weather conditions of a place
    Explanation
    The definition of climate refers to the prevailing or average weather conditions of a place. It encompasses the long-term patterns and trends of temperature, precipitation, humidity, wind, and other atmospheric conditions that characterize a particular region or area. Climate is different from weather, which refers to the short-term and day-to-day variations in atmospheric conditions. Climate is determined by various factors including latitude, altitude, proximity to bodies of water, and prevailing wind patterns. It is an important factor in determining the overall environmental conditions and ecosystems of a particular place.

     What is the definition of weather ?

    • The state of the atmosphere at a particular place and time

    • The total amount of rainfall in a particular area

    • The weather conditions prevailing in an area in general or over a long period.

    • The difference between highest tempreature and lowest tempreature in a month

    Correct Answer
    A. The state of the atmosphere at a particular place and time
    Explanation
    The definition of weather is the state of the atmosphere at a specific location and time. This includes factors such as temperature, humidity, precipitation, wind speed, and cloud cover. It refers to the current conditions and can change frequently.

    The study of weather is termed as meteorology 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Meteorology is the scientific study of the Earth's atmosphere, particularly in regards to weather patterns and forecasting. It involves analyzing and understanding various atmospheric phenomena such as temperature, humidity, air pressure, wind patterns, and precipitation. By studying meteorology, scientists can gather data and make predictions about future weather conditions, which is crucial for a wide range of industries and activities, including agriculture, aviation, and disaster management. Therefore, the statement "The study of weather is termed as meteorology" is true.

    One day, Avnee looks outside and sees that the sun is brighly shining in the sky.The next day when she looks outside, she notices it's raining. Then she says, "The climate is so different from yesterday". Is Avnee right or wrong ?

    • Avnee is right

    • Avnee is wrong

    Correct Answer
    A. Avnee is wrong
    Explanation
    Avnee is wrong. The climate refers to the long-term weather patterns of a particular region, while the weather can change on a daily basis. Avnee's observation of the sun shining one day and rain the next day indicates a change in weather, not a change in climate.

    What is the effect of Earth's revolution around the Sun ? (Hint : these are of 4 different types)

    Correct Answer
    seasons
    Explanation
    The effect of Earth's revolution around the Sun is the occurrence of seasons. As the Earth orbits the Sun, its axial tilt causes different parts of the planet to receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year. This variation in sunlight leads to changes in temperature and weather patterns, resulting in the four seasons: spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

    The climate all around the world is rising due to 

    Correct Answer
    green house effect, global warming, green-house effect
    Explanation
    The climate all around the world is rising primarily due to human activities, particularly the emission of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide (CO2) from the burning of fossil fuels for energy, deforestation, and industrial processes. These activities increase the concentration of greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere, trapping more heat and leading to global warming and climate change.
