31. The passage of shortwave and longwave radiation through the atmosphere or water is an example of:
(a) Absorption
(b) Transmission
(c) Refraction
(d) Insolation
32. Mountain-Valley breezes are caused by:
(a) warmer air descending mountain slopes during the day.
(b) valley air ascending the mountain slopes at night.
(c) warm air rising upslope during the day, and cooler air descending the slopes at night.
(d) gravity drainage.

(a) temperature.
(b) latent heat.
(c) sensible heat.
(d) surface motion.
34. As regards average annual precipitation, which of the following is correct?
(a) The highest amounts occur throughout subtropical latitudes.
(b) The drier regions are associated with the eastern portions of major landmasses.
(c) The precipitation tends to increase with latitude toward the poles.
(d) The highest average values occur along the equator.
35. Air pollution acts to ___ the albedo of cities and therefore ___ the urban heat island effect.
(a) increase; enhances
(b) increase; diminishes
(c) decrease; enhances
(d) decrease; diminishes
Ans. 31
It is an example of transmission
Ans 32.
The correct option is (C)
Ans 33.
The correct option is (C) i.e. sensible heat
Ans 34.
The correct option is (D) since most of the precipitation occur on the equatorial region.
Ans 35.
the correct option is (B) i.e. since pollution increases albedo of the cities and causes diminishing of Urban heat island since most of the heat is scattered by pollutants in air.
