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

b) is false statement
as you go up higher from the earth, it becomes cooler

Answer 2

The statement 'As you go up higher from the earth, it becomes warmer because the sun is closer  to you' is false.

Explanation:

• The second statement from the given options asserts a false claim.
• It incorrectly states that 'the temperature increases with a hike in altitude.'
• Instead, it should be that 'there is a steep fall in the temperature as we move up from the ground.'
• This is due to decrease in air molecules per unit volume with altitude. This leads the air pressure and atmospheric mass to decrease and therefore, the temperature decreases.
• The other options are factually correct. Hence, option B is the correct answer.
