Question 1 of 5
Which of the following has the highest Albedo?
CorrectSolution: d)
There are places on Earth that are so cold that water is frozen solid. These areas of snow or ice, which are subject to temperatures below 32°F for at least part of the year, compose the cryosphere. Ice and snow on land are one part of the cryosphere. This includes the largest parts of the cryosphere, the continental ice sheets found in Greenland and Antarctica, as well as ice caps, glaciers, and areas of snow and permafrost. Snow has high albedo.

The Sun is the source of all energy on Earth. Out of the total solar energy that reaches the earth’s surface, most of it is used by plants for
CorrectSolution: b)
IncorrectSolution: b)

Question 3 of 5
The Equator receives comparatively less insolation than the tropics, despite Sun being overhead throughout the year at the equator. This is due to
CorrectSolution: a)
Generally, at the same latitude the insolation is more over the continent than over the oceans, because oceans are cloudier due to greater evaporation.
Similarly, in equator, evaporation is high, cloudiness is high and rains are frequent. Clouds reflect incoming solar insolation and send it back to space.

Question 4 of 5
Consider the following statements.
- Annual range of temperature is greater in the Northern Hemisphere than that in the Southern Hemisphere.
- Annual range of temperature is greater in the Atlantic Ocean than that in the Pacific Ocean.
Which of the above statements is/are incorrect?
CorrectSolution: d)
Annual range of temperature is relatively high in Northern hemisphere due to continental influence (Large land area in Northern hemisphere w.r.t southern hemisphere).
Annual range of temperature is relatively low in larger ocean.
IncorrectSolution: d)
Annual range of temperature is relatively high in Northern hemisphere due to continental influence (Large land area in Northern hemisphere w.r.t southern hemisphere).
Annual range of temperature is relatively low in larger ocean.

Question 5 of 5
Which of the following would happen during Temperature inversion?
- Surface of the Earth is cooler than the air above it.
- In valleys the warm air slides down the mountain slope and cold air moves up.
Select the correct answer code:
CorrectSolution: a)
Usually, within the lower atmosphere (the troposphere) the air near the surface of the Earth is warmer than the air above it, largely because the atmosphere is heated from below as solar radiation warms the Earth’s surface, which in turn then warms the layer of the atmosphere directly above it.
Given the right conditions, the normal vertical temperature gradient is inverted such that the air is colder near the surface of the Earth. This can occur when, for example, a warmer, less-dense air mass moves over a cooler, denser air mass.
It can also happen in valleys where the cold air slides down the mountain slope and warm air moves up.
