    1.Lower
    2.Upper
    3.Middle
    4.All of these
    5.None of these
    Answer – 1.Lower
    Explanation :
    Fog is made from the droplets of water suspended in the lower layer of atmosphere.Fog is a complex atmospheric
    phenomenon. It is a visible mass consisting of cloud water droplets or ice crystals suspended in the air at or near the Earth’s surface

  2. …………………… is lying in level sheets and is used for layer type of clouds
    1.Nimbus
    2.Alto
    3.Cirrus
    4.Stratus
    5.None of these
    Answer – 4.Stratus
    Explanation :
    Stratus” means “layer” and refers to the group of clouds that form in bigsheets covering the entire sky.It is lying in level sheets and is used for layer type of clouds

  3. Clouds are the ………………………….. of small water droplets or tiny ice crystals
    1.mass
    2.volume
    3.action
    4.density
    5.None of these
    Answer – 1.mass
    Explanation :
    Clouds are the mass of small water droplets or tiny ice crystals

  4. Clouds of great vertical extents ……………………….. to ………………………….
    1.2000 to 9000 m
    2.1500 m to 9000 m
    3.1000 m 10000m
    4.100 to 5000m
    5.None of these
    Answer – 2.1500 m to 9000 m
    Explanation :
    Clouds of great vertical extents – 1500 m to 9000 m
    High clouds – 6000m – 12000m
    Low clouds – 2100m to 6000m
    Middle clouds – below 2100m

  5. In atmosphere at every 165m there is a drop of ……………………..
    1.1o C
    2.2o C
    3.4oC
    4.0.5oC
    5.None of these
    Answer – 1.1o C
    Explanation :
    The atmosphere is a mixture of a layer of gases enveloping the earth.At every 165 m, there is a drop of 1° (or 6.4°C per km).

  6. The direction of wind is deviated from expected one due to which force ?
    1.Contact Forces
    2.Gravitational Force
    3.Centrifugal Force
    4.Coriolis Force
    5.None of these
    Answer – 4.Coriolis Force
    Explanation :
    In physics, the Coriolis force is an inertial force(also called a fictitious force) acting on objects which are in motion relative to a rotating reference frame.

  7. Tornado is also called as ………………………….
    1.Twisters
    2.Jet Stream
    3.Anticyclone
    4.Smog
    5.None of these
    Answer – 1.Twisters
    Explanation :
    A tornado is also commonly referred to as a “twister”, and is also sometimes referred to by the old-fashioned colloquial term cyclone

  8. High pressure sub-tropical calm belts ‘Horse Latitudes’ lie between
    1.0° and 5°
    2.30° and 38°
    3.15° and 20°
    4.30° and 40°
    5.None of these
    Answer – 2.30° and 38°
    Explanation :
    Horse latitudes or subtropical highs are subtropical latitudes between 30 and 38 degrees both north and south where Earth’s atmosphere is dominated by the subtropical high.

  9. According to Farrel’s law which one is correct ?
    1.Winds are deflected to the right in the Northern hemisphere
    2.Winds are reflected to the right in the Southern hemisphere
    3.Winds are deflected to the left in the Southern hemisphere
    4.Both 1 and 2
    5.Both 1 and 3
    Answer – 5.Both 1 and 3
    Explanation :
    Farrel’s law stating that Coriolis forces deflect winds and freely moving objects to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern hemisphere.

  10. The Coriolis Force is absent along the ………………………
    1.Polar region
    2.Pole
    3.Equator
    4.All of these
    5.None of these
    Answer – 3.Equator
    Explanation :
    The Coriolis Force is absent along the Equator due to the weak Coriolis effect
