Question

1 Correct the false statements
a) If a place is closer to the sea, irrespective of its
distance from equator, it will always be cooler
b) As you go up higher from the earth, it becomes
Warmer because sun is closer to you
c) Sun heats the air first and then the earth
d) Global warming is related to oxygen
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Ans c is true and option d is False

Answer 2

Answer:

a) This statement is true.

b) This statement is false. As you go up higher from the earth, it becomes colder as altitude increases and the amount of solar radiation decreases.

c) This statement is false. Because, the air in the atmosphere is largely transparent to light, which contains most energy emitted by the sun. So light passes through the air mostly without heating it.

d) Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane do not allow the sun's heat to escape from the earth. Global warming is not related to oxygen because it is not a greenhouse gas. Hence this statement is false.
