Answer 1

Ans 11.

Where there is increase in temperature with increase in altitude (D)

Ans 12.

City A has more continental nature due to high temperature range. (C)

Ans 13.

Correct option is (B) since is the capacity of parcel to hold water vapor

Ans 14.

At dew point temperature, the air becomes saturated (C)

Ans 15.

It is described as stable with adiabatic cooling (D)

Ans 16.

It is 6 degree Celsius per 1000 m

Ans 17.

Altostratus is the correct answer (C)

Ans 18.

Such fog is called as Advection fog (A)

Ans 19.

Precipitation includes rain, sleet, snow and hail

Ans 20.

In this process, there occurs collision between water droplets and they grow in size thus the correct answer is (c)
