76. The average slope of warm front is

(A) 1:100 to 1:200

(B) 1:50 to 1:100

Page | 1
(C) 1:20 to 1: 30

(D) 1:10 to 1:20

Answer: A

Explanation

Warm front- a front in which warm air replaces cooler air at the surface.

 Some of the characteristics of warm fronts include the following:

 The slope of a typical warm front is 1:200 (more gentle than cold fronts).
 Warm fronts tend to move slowly.
 Warm fronts are typically less violent than cold fronts.
 Although they can trigger thunderstorms, warm fronts are more likely to be associated
with large regions of gentle ascent (strati form clouds and light to moderate
continuous rain).
 Warm fronts are usually preceded by cirrus first (1000 km ahead), then altostratus or
altocumulus (500 km ahead), then stratus and possibly fog.
 Behind the warm front, skies are relatively clear (but change gradually).
 Warm fronts are associated with a frontal inversion (warm air overrunning cooler air).

78. The slope of a cold front varies from

(A) 1:50 and 1: 100

(B) 1:100 and 1: 200

(C) 1:200 and 1: 400

(D) 1:400 and 1:600

Answer: A

Explanation

Cold front- a front in which cold air is replacing warm air at the surface.

Some of the characteristics of cold fronts include the following:

The slope of a typical cold front is 1:100 (vertical to horizontal).

Cold fronts tend to move faster than all other types of fronts.

Cold fronts tend to be associated with the most violent weather among all types of fronts.

Cold fronts tend to move the farthest while maintaining their intensity.

Cold fronts tend to be associated with cirrus well ahead of the front, strong thunderstorms
along and ahead of the front, and a broad area of clouds immediately behind the front
(although fast moving fronts may be mostly clear behind the front).

Cold fronts can be associated with squall lines (a line of strong thunderstorms parallel to and
ahead of the front).

Answer: D

Explanation

Anabatic Winds are upslope winds driven by warmer surface temperatures on a mountain
slope than the surrounding air column. Katabatic winds are downslope winds created when
the mountain surface is colder than the surrounding air and creates a down slope wind.

93. Insolation reaches the earth surface in the form of

(A) Short Waves

(B) Long Waves

(C) Microwaves

(D) Lorenz Curve

Answer: A

Explanation

Our sun is the main source of energy and heat. It provides solar energy or fuel for the process
of weather and climate. The energy emitted by the sun is known as solar radiation. The
incoming radiation to the earth is known as isolation and it reaches in the earth in form of
short waves.

94. Which one of the following regions does not receive much rainfall
during the south-west monsoon?

(A) Eastern Himalayas

(B) Chotanagpur

(C) Maharashtra

(D) Tamil Nadu Coast

Answer: D

Explanation

Most parts of India get, rainfall from South-west Monsoons with the exception of Tamil
Nadu. Tamil Nadu lies on the leeward side for the southwest monsoon winds and receives
lesser rainfall. Once the monsoon starts retreating after mid- September, North east monsoon
sets in during mid-October, Tamil Nadu lies on the windward side for these winds and hence
gets more rainfall during the winter season.

Terrestrial radiation is the energy released by the Earth itself as opposed to solar radiation
that it receives from the Sun.

Apart from the energy generated by the decay of radioactive minerals in rock, the energy that
drives terrestrial radiation ultimately comes from the Sun, and it is a major factor in the study
of global warming
