Answer 1

Answer:

1. Answer the following questions.

(i) What is precipitation?

Answer: The sun’s heat vaporises water into vapour. This vapour cools down

and condenses to become clouds. This may then fall on the surface of Earth

in the form of rain, snow or sleet. This phenomenon of water falling back onto

the surface of the earth in the form of rain, snow or sleet is called precipitation.

(ii) What is the water cycle?

Answer: The process by which water continually changes its form and

circulates between oceans, atmosphere and land is known as the water cycle.

(iii) What are the factors affecting the height of the waves?

Answer: The factors affecting the height of the waves are as follows:

1. Speed of the wind

2. Earthquake, Volcanic eruptions or Underwater landslides

(iv) Which factors affect the movement of ocean water?

Answer: The factors affecting the movement of ocean water are as follows:

1. Temperature

2. The gravitational pull of sun and moon

3. Warm and cold currents

4. Wind

(v) What are tides and how are they caused?

Answer: The rhythmic rise and fall of ocean water, twice in a day, is called a

tide. Tides are caused by the gravitational force exerted by the sun and the

moon on the earth’s surface.

(vi) What are ocean currents?

Answer: The streams of water flowing constantly on the ocean surface in a

definite direction are called ocean currents. The ocean currents may be warm

or cold.
