Answer 1

Answer:

1.Answer

Explanation:

Weather reflects short-term conditions of the atmosphere while climate is the average daily weather for an extended period of time at a certain location.

2.Answer

A warmer climate is expected to increase the risk of illnesses and death from extreme heat and poor air quality. Climate change will likely increase the frequency and strength of extreme events (such as floods, droughts, and storms) that threaten human health and safety.

3.Answer

[Latitude. It depends on how close or how far it is to the equator. ...]

[Ocean currents. Certain ocean currents have different temperatures. ...]

[Wind and air masses. Heated ground causes air to rise which results in lower air pressure. ...]

[Elevation. ...]

[Relief. ...]

[Nearness to water.]

4.Answer

Because the equator is closer to the sun. ... Because the sun's rays hit the earth's surface at a higher angle at the equator.

5.Answer

On the basis of the distribution of temperature earth is divided into the following heat zones,

Torrid zone: It extends on both side of the equator and is bounded by the Tropic of Cancer and Capricorn. That is between 23 degrees half minute North and 23 degree half minute South latitudes.

Temperate zone: It extends in one each of the two hemispheres. They lie between the Tropic of Cancer and Arctic Circle in the northern and between Tropic of Capricorn and Arctic Circle in the southern hemisphere. That is between 23 degrees half minute North to 66 degrees half minute North and 23 degrees half minute South and 66 degrees half minute South latitudes.

Frigid zone: It extends in two hemispheres. The fried zone in Northern hemisphere lies between Arctic Circle and the North Pole and in the southern hemisphere between Antarctic circle and South pole.

6.Answer

The way the air moves affects the weather, because winds move heat and cold temperatures as well as moisture from one place to another, transporting conditions from one geographical zone to another. The way winds pass each other, and the direction they move, also affects what weather a region will see on any given day.

7.Answer

Chennai has a higher humidity because it is a coastal city. The water vapour from the sea is more, so the humidity is high. ... Since it lies in the Thar Desert, where water quantity is low, not much water vapour occurs due to evaporation. Hence Jaisalmer is dry and arid.
