Why is the annual range of temperature high in the Siberian plains? |
| Answer» Solution :Siberian plains are quite far off from sea. Uneven climate is found in areas located away from oceans and seas. The MEAN monthly temperature for January is between `-18^(@)C " to "-48^(@)C` in the Siberian plains. In summers, it is up to `20^(@)` celcius. Therefore, the annual RANGE of temperature is `-68 (-48-20)` which is extremely HIGH. The pressure of warm ocean CURRENTS, Gulf STREAM and north Atlantic drift, make the northern Altantic Ocean warmer and the isotherms bend towards the north. Over the land, the temperature decreases sharply and the isotherms bend towards south in Europe. | |

There will be extreme skin problems, instances of cancer and in all probabilities life would not have been possible on the earth. | |

Which type(s) of cyclones cause rainfall in north-western India during winter ? Where do they originate ? |
| Answer» Solution :Western cyclonic disturbance cause rainfall in NORTH western India during winter. The western cyclonic disturbances which enter the Indian subcontinent from the WEST and the north-west during the winter and the north-west during the winter months ORIGINATE over the Mediterranean Sea and are brougth into India by the westerly jet stream. An INCREASE in the prevailing night temperature generally indicates an ADVANCE in the arrival of these cyclones disturbances. | |

Which of the following is called equal area projection? |
|
Answer» Orthomorphic PROJECTION |
|
| 1694. |
Which map projection is very useful for navigational purposes? Explain the properties and limitations of this projection. |
|
Answer» Solution :Mercator.s PROJECTION is very useful for navigational purposes. A Dutch cartographer Mercator Gerardus Karmer developed this projection in 1569. The projection is BASED on mathematical formulae. Properties: (a) It is an orthomorphic projection in which the correct SHAPE is maintained. (b) The distance between parallels increases towards the pole. (c) Like cylindrical projection, the parallels and meridians intersect each other at right angle. It has the characteristics of showing correct directions. (d) A straight line joining any two points on this projection gives a constant bearing, which is called a Laxodrome or Rhumb line. (e) All parallels and meridians are straight lines and they intersect each other at right angles. (f) All parallels have the same length which is equal to the length of equator. (g) All meridians have the same length and equal spacing. But they are longer than the corresponding MERIDIAN on the globe. (h) Spacing between parallels increases towards the pole. (i) Scale along the equator is correct as it is equal to the length of the equator on the globe, but other parallels are longer than the corresponding parallel on the globe, hence the scale is not correct along them. (j) Shape of the area is maintained, but at the higher latitudes distortion takes place. (k) The shape of small countries near the equator is truly preserved while it increases towards poles. (l) It is an azimuthal projection. (m) This is an orthomorphic projection as scale along the meridian is equal to the scale along the parallel. Limitations (a) There is greater exaggeration of scale along the parallels and meridians in high latitudes. As a result, size of the countries near thepole is highly exaggerated. (b) Poles in this projection cannot be shown as `90^@` parallel and meridian touching them are infinite. |

Write and explain about oxygen cycle. |
| Answer» Solution : Oxygen is the MAIN by-product of PHOTOSYNTHESIS. It is involved in the oxidation of carbohydrates with the release of energy, carbon dioxide and water. The cycling of oxygen is a highly complex process. Oxygen occurs in a NUMBER of chemical forms and combinations. It combines with nitrogen to form nitrates and with many other minerals and elements to form various oxides such as the iron oxide, aluminium oxide and OTHERS. Much of oxygen is produced from the decomposition of water molecules by sunlight during photosynthesis and is released in the atmosphere through transpiration and respiration processes of plants. | |

Rocks closer to the mid-oceanic ridges have normal polarity and are the youngest. The age of the rocks increases as ONE MOVES away from the crest. | |
