  1. Evaporation

  2. Precipitation

  3. Condensation

  4. Transpiration

  5. Sublimation


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

This is the correct option. It is the process through which the plants release the surplus water into the air through their leaves.

Which of the following is/are the factors that do not increase the rate of evaporation?

a. Lower temperature of the air b. Movement of air c. Larger area of the exposed surface

  1. Only a

  2. Only a and b

  3. Only b

  4. Only b and c

  5. Only c


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

This is the correct option. Lower temperature of the air will not increase the rate of evaporation. But, higher temperature will increase the rate of evaporation. During the daytime, the sun shines on water bodies. It increases the temperature and increases the rate of evaporation.

Which of the following is/are not a constituent of clouds?

  4. Air

  5. Various minerals


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

This is the correct option. Clouds are not composed of various minerals. They are made of droplets of water, ice crystals, particles of dust and air.

a. Evaporation b. Transpiration c. Condensation d. Precipitation

  1. Only a and c

  2. Only b and d

  3. Only a and b

  4. Only b and c

  5. Only c and d


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

This is the correct option. Water vapours are added into the air through evaporation by the heat of the sun, from various water bodies and through transpiration by all kinds of plants that grow on the surface of land.

Which of the following clouds are found highest in the atmosphere?

  1. Cirrus

  2. Cumulus

  3. Cumulonimbus

  4. Stratus

  5. Altostratus


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

This is the correct option. Cirrus clouds are found highest in the atmosphere. They are composed of ice crystals.

Which of the following statements is/are false?

a. The oceans and the seas cover about 3/4 the surface of the earth. b. The sea water is salty and is unfit for drinking or agricultural activities. c. The process due to which water changes into its vapour from its exposed surface is called precipitation.

  1. Only a

  2. Only a and b

  3. Only b

  4. Only b and c

  5. Only c


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

This is the correct option as this statement is false. The process due to which water changes into its vapour from its exposed surface is called evaporation.

Which of the following are the dust particles covered with layers of ice, that are formed in the thunder clouds?

  1. Mist

  2. Hail

  3. Fog

  4. Snow

  5. None of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

This is the correct option. The hail is the dust particles covered with layers of ice, that are formed in the thunder clouds.

Which of the following statements is/are false?

a. The cool air can hold a large amount of water vapours. b. The lower part of the earth’s atmosphere is full of water vapours. c. Clouds are formed when some water vapours change into liquid state and form tiny droplets of water.

  1. Only a

  2. Only a and b

  3. Only b

  4. Only b and c

  5. Only c


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

This is the correct option as this statement is false. The warm air can hold a large amount of water vapours.

Fog is actually a cloud touching the surface of the earth. It is formed due to

  1. condensation taking place high up in the atmosphere

  2. precipitation taking place near the earth’s surface

  3. condensation taking place near the earth’s surface

  4. precipitation taking place high up in the atmosphere

  5. evaporation of water particles taking place near the earth’s surface


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

This is the correct option. Fog is formed due to condensation taking place near the earth’s surface.

Which of the following statements is/are false?

a. Excess water vapour condenses on dust particles to form the clouds. b. On a dry day, the clouds are very low in the sky, where it is the coldest. c. The main reason of precipitation is the cooling off of the clouds.

  1. Only a

  2. Only a and b

  3. Only b

  4. Only b and c

  5. Only c


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

This is the correct option as this statement is false. On a dry day, the clouds are very high in the sky, where it is the coldest.

The water cycle is not powered by which of the following?

a. Heat of the sun b. The force of gravity c. The condensation of water vapours

  1. Only a

  2. Only a and b

  3. Only b

  4. Only b and c

  5. Only c


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

This is the correct option. The water cycle is not powered by the condensation of water vapours.

The overflowing of water from the rivers and streams due to excessive rains are called floods. Which of the following is/are the consequence(s) of floods?

  1. Rise in water level

  2. Soil erosion

  3. Damage to the crops

  4. Outbreak of diseases

  5. All of the above


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

This is the correct option as all of the above are the consequences of floods. Floods cause outbreak of diseases, soil erosion, damage to crops and rise in water level. 

Match the following ||| |---|---| |a. Condensation|1. It is the process through which the plants release the surplus water into the air through their leaves.| |b. Precipitation|2. It is the falling of water drops from the clouds.| |c. Transpiration|3. It is the change of gaseous form of water into the liquid state on cooling.|

  1. a – 3, b – 2, c – 1

  2. a – 3, b – 1, c – 2

  3. a – 2, b – 3, c – 1

  4. a – 1, b – 2, c – 3

  5. a – 1, b – 3, c – 2


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

This is the correct option. Condensation is the change of gaseous form of water into the liquid state on cooling. Precipitation is the falling of water drops from the clouds. Transpiration is the process through which the plants release the surplus water into the air through their leaves.

Continuous absence of rains causes drought. Which of the following is not an effect of drought?

  1. It causes plants and animals to wither away.

  2. Crops are unable to grow.

  3. It causes erosion of soil.

  4. The level of groundwater rises.

  5. It leads to widespread unemployment.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

This is the correct option as this is not an effect of drought. Level of groundwater falls leading to acute water crisis.

a. Due to the condensation of water vapours on ice particles, clouds are formed. b. A wet cloth dries quickly due to the process of evaporation. c. In drain water harvesting, the rainwater flowing on the roads is collected through big pipes and is directly allowed to flow into the ground.

  1. Only a

  2. Only a and b

  3. Only b

  4. Only b and c

  5. Only c
