Answer 1

Question no 1. Which of the following weather types is not associated with some type of inversion

Option a.ice Strom

b. Thunderstorms

C.fog

d. Sheet

e. Air pollution

Solution: The correct answer is option "d" sheet , is not associated with any kind of inversion. There are mainly four types of inversion - 1. Temperature inversion 2. Frontal inversion 3.Subsidence inversion and turbulence inversion. Temperature inversion occure when temperatures of the atmosphere increase with increasing altitude instead of decreasing temperature. In this inversion cold air underlies the warm air at the altitude. It is mainly occured in cold long wintry night. During temperature inversion air pollution released in the atmosphere. Long residency over an industrial area may result episode of smog in the atmosphere. On the other hand ice Strom is a result of temperature inversion in colder region. Thunderstorms and tornadoes also developed during temperature of inversion because of the intense energy that is released after an inversion.

Question no 2. Which of the following states has been experiencing wide spread flooding problem near all term?

Option: a.texas

b. California

c.michigan

d.mississipi

e. Vormont

Solution: Correct answer is option 'd' Mississippi , which experience wide spread flooding due to huge contity of water in Mississippi River in the rainy season and develop of hurricane also lead to flooding all over the surrounding area.

Question no 3. Why are ice Strom fairy common in the Columbia River Gorge?

Option a. Cold air of Pacific Ocean move into the gorge and get stuck

b.air cools adiabatically as it's enter gorge

c.strong Easterly wind make the water freez.

d.The Columbia rive makes the adjacent land cold.

e.cold air of Eastern OR and WA gets trapped in the inversion in the gorge keeping the surface below is freezing while the air above is above freezing.

Solution: Correct answer is option 'c' - strong Easterly wind make the water freez. A chilli air mass that sitting over the Easter oregon below 4000'. The cold wind enter the gorge and makes the river freez and ice Strom.

Question no 4. Which of the following is the most uncommon lifting mechanism for supercell thunderstorms out of these choices?

Option: a. Dry line

b.cold front

C. Stationary front

d.outflow boundary from previous day's Thunderstorms

e. Occluded front

Solution: correct answer is option 'd' out flow boundary from previous day's Thunderstorms. Cold front, warm front, stationary front and occluded front are developed during thunderstorms . And dry line also develop.
