Question 2 of 5
2. Question
2 points2. These are large globular masses or rolls of soft grey clouds with brighter interstices belong to this group. These are commonly arranged in a regular pattern:
Identify the cloud described above.Correct
Answer: A
Explanation:
• Stratocumulus: These are large globular masses or rolls of soft grey clouds with brighter interstices belonging to this group. The masses are commonly arranged in a regular pattern. Hence option a is correct.
• Stratus: these are low uniform layers of clouds resembling fog, but not resting on the ground. Thin stratus clouds produce corona.
• Nimbostratus: they are dense shapeless, and often ragged layers of low clouds, which is commonly cause continuous rainfall.
• Cumulonimbus: Heavy masses of clouds with great vertical development whose summits rise like mountains or towers called cumulonimbus.

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
2 points3. Consider the following statements, regarding Orographic Rainfall.
1. Orographic rainfall occurs when moist air is forced to rise over a mountain or other elevated path.
2. The adiabatic cooling of air is involved in orographic rainfall.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?Correct
Answer: C
Explanation:
• Orographic rainfall when moist air is forced to rise over a mountain or other elevated in its path. Hence statement 1 is correct.
• The windward side of many of the mountain ranges receive heavy rainfall. Whereas the leeward sides, along which the air moves, receive less rainfall.
• Such situations occur widely, along the western coast of India, North America and South America.
• The most air from the Arabian sea is forced by the Sahyadri hills of the western Ghats rising up resulting in expansion, adiabatic cooling and rainfall. Hence statement 2 is correct.Incorrect

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
2 points4. Animal rearing is not practised in the Mediterranean region due to which of the following reasons?
Correct
Answer: C
Explanation:
• The Mediterranean type of climate is characterised by wet and mild winters and hot dry summers instead of severe and long winters. The Mediterranean regions are a net importer of dairy products. Conditions in the Mediterranean don’t suit growth as most of the rain comes in cool seasons, when growth is slow. Slow-growing vegetation that cannot readily replenish its foliage and without deep penetrating roots is least suited here. Even if grasses survive, they are so wiry and bunchy that they are unsuitable for animal rearing. Hence, option c is correct.Incorrect
