Q.3. With reference to the variation in the net heat budget at the Earth's surface, consider the following statements :
1. There is a surplus of net radiation balance between 40 degrees north and south and the regions near the equator have a deficit
2. The surplus heat energy from the tropics is redistributed pole wards and as a result the tropics do not get progressively heated up due to the accumulation of excess heat or the high latitudes get permanently frozen due to excess deficit.

Q.1.Temperature inversion occurs when the normal lapse rate is reversed and the temperature increases with height rather than decreasing.
Consider the following statements regarding this phenomenon :
1. A long winter night with clear skies and still air is an ideal situation for inversion.
2. Surface inversion promotes instability in the lower layers of the atmosphere.
3. Over polar areas, temperature inversion is normal throughout the year.
4. Air drainage inversion in hilly areas helps protect plants from frost damage.

Q.3.The global distribution of temperature can well be understood by studying the temperature distribution in January and July. The temperature distribution is generally.
Consider the following statements in context with the same :
1. In January the isotherms deviate to the north over North Atlantic Ocean and to the south In Europe.
2. The presence of cold ocean currents, Gulf Stream and North Atlantic drift, make the Northern Atlantic Ocean cold and the isotherms bend towards the north.
3. Over the land the temperature decreases sharply and the isotherms bend towards the south in Europe.

Q.3.With reference to the modes of heat transfer in the atmosphere, consider the following statements :
1. Conduction is important in heating the lower layers of the atmosphere.
2. The convective transfer of energy is confined only to the troposphere.
3. In middle latitudes, most diurnal (day and night) variation in daily weather is caused by advection alone.
4. In tropical regions particularly in northern India during summer season local winds. called 'loo' is the outcome of the advection process.

Q.1. With reference to the global distribution of rainfall, consider the following statements :
1. The rainfall is more over the oceans than on the landmasses of the world because of being great sources of water.
2. Between the latitudes 35° and 40° North and South of the equator, the rain is heavier on the eastern coasts and goes on decreasing towards the west.
3. Between the latitude 45° and 65° North and South of equator, due to the westerlies, the rainfall is first received on the western margins of the continents and it goes on decreasing towards the east.
4. Wherever mountains run parallel to the coast, the rain is greater on the coastal plain, on the windward side and it decreases towards the leeward side.

B. Condensation also takes place when the moist air comes in contact with some colder object and it may also take place when the temperature is close to the dew point.
C. Condensation occurs when the dew point is lower than the freezing point but not when it is higher than the freezing point.
D. The most favourable condition for condensation is the decrease in air temperature.
