- Question 1 of 5
1. Question
Which of the following forces affect the velocity and direction of wind?
1. Pressure gradient force
2. Frictional force
3. Coriolis force
Select the correct answer using the code given below.CorrectAnswer: A
Coriolis force affects the direction of the wind as more deflection is observed when velocity
is high but coriolis force doesnt affect the velocity of the wind directly. So, statement 3 is
not correct.IncorrectAnswer: A
Coriolis force affects the direction of the wind as more deflection is observed when velocity
is high but coriolis force doesnt affect the velocity of the wind directly. So, statement 3 is
not correct. - Question 2 of 5
2. Question
Consider the following statements:
1. Aeroplanes prefer to fly in the stratosphere to avoid violent weather changes.
2. Jet Streams are beneficial for aviation and are used commercially.

- Question 3 of 5
3. Question
Consider the following statements:
1. Maximum insolation is received over the equator.
2. Generally, at the same latitude the insolation is more over the continent than over the oceans.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?CorrectAnswer: B
Maximum insolation is received over subtropical deserts where cloudiness is least allowing
more incoming radiation. So, statement 1 is not correct.IncorrectAnswer: B
Maximum insolation is received over subtropical deserts where cloudiness is least allowing
more incoming radiation. So, statement 1 is not correct. - Question 4 of 5
4. Question
Consider the following statement about International date line (IDL):
1. It is an imaginary straight line which passes along 180-degree meridian.
2. A traveller crossing IDL from East to West loses a day.
Which of the statements given above is/are not correct?CorrectAnswer: A
IDL is an imaginary line (but not a straight line) roughly passing through 180 degree meridian
running from north pole to south pole, which demarcates the change of one calendar day to
the next. So, statement 1 is not correct.IncorrectAnswer: A
IDL is an imaginary line (but not a straight line) roughly passing through 180 degree meridian
running from north pole to south pole, which demarcates the change of one calendar day to
the next. So, statement 1 is not correct. - Question 5 of 5
5. Question
Which of the following conditions are necessary for temperature inversion phenomenon in Deserts?
1. Long night duration.
2. Presence of clouds.
3. Calm and stable air.
Select the correct answer using the code given below:CorrectAnswer: B
Presence of clouds will result in greenhouse effect causing trapping of heat within the region hindering the escape of radiation disrupting temperature inversion. So, statement 2 is not correct.
IncorrectAnswer: B
Presence of clouds will result in greenhouse effect causing trapping of heat within the region hindering the escape of radiation disrupting temperature inversion. So, statement 2 is not correct.
