4. **Matching Questions:**

a. Match the following heat zones with their locations:

- 1) Torrid Zone – Between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn
 - 2) Temperate Zone – Between the Tropic of Cancer and the Arctic Circle

- 3) Frigid Zone – Between the Arctic Circle and the North Pole

5. **Short Answer Questions:**

a. Define weather and climate.

- Answer: Weather refers to the state of the atmosphere at a specific time and
place, while climate refers to the average weather conditions over a long period of
time.

b. Explain the factors responsible for the creation of three distinct heat zones on
Earth.

- Answer: The three distinct heat zones are created due to the angle of sun
rays. Near the Equator, the rays of the sun fall vertically, creating the Torrid Zone. As
we move away from the Equator, the angle of sun rays decreases, leading to the
creation of the Temperate and Frigid Zones.

6. **Essay Questions:**

a. Discuss the differences between weather and climate, and their significance.

- Answer: Weather and climate are two distinct terms. Weather refers to the
short-term state of the atmosphere at a specific time and place, including variables like
temperature, humidity, wind, and precipitation. Climate, on the other hand, refers to the
long-term average weather conditions of a particular area. Understanding these
differences is crucial for various fields such as agriculture, transportation, and urban
planning.
 b. Explain the concept of solar radiation and its impact on Earth’s temperature
distribution.

- Answer: Solar radiation, also known as insolation, is the heat energy emitted
by the sun. It plays a significant role in Earth’s temperature distribution. Near the
Equator, where the sun's rays are more direct, higher amounts of solar radiation are
received, leading to warmer temperatures. As we move away from the Equator towards
the poles, the angle of sun rays decreases, resulting in lower amounts of solar
radiation and cooler temperatures. This phenomenon contributes to the creation of the
three distinct heat zones on Earth.

**What do you understand by atmospheric pressure?**

- Atmospheric pressure refers to the force exerted by the weight of air molecules
in the atmosphere on a particular area. It influences weather patterns and
conditions, with air moving from areas of high pressure to areas of low
pressure.

**Precipitation**

- Precipitation is the process by which water in various forms falls from the
atmosphere to the Earth’s surface. It includes rain, snow, hail, and sleet, and is
essential for replenishing water sources and sustaining ecosystems.

**What are the characteristics of various types of clouds?**

- Various types of clouds have different characteristics, including their appearance,

altitude, and associated weather patterns. For example, nimbus clouds are dark
and full of water, cumulus clouds are white or grey, cirrus clouds are feather-
like and high in the atmosphere, and stratus clouds are thin white sheets.
Different clouds indicate different weather conditions, such as rain, storms, or
clear skies.

**Define the following terms:**

(a) **Evaporation**

- Evaporation is the process by which a liquid, such as water, changes into a gas,
such as water vapor, due to heat energy from the surroundings.

(b) **Westerlies and anti-trades**

- Westerlies are prevailing winds that blow from the west to the east in the mid-
latitudes of the Earth’s atmosphere. They are also called anti-trades because they flow
in the opposite direction of the trade winds, which blow from east to west.

**Differentiate between the following:**

(a) **Land breeze and sea breeze**

- Land breeze occurs at night when cooler air from the land moves towards the
warmer sea, whereas sea breeze occurs during the day when cooler air from the sea
moves towards the warmer land.

(b) **Absolute humidity and relative humidity**

- Absolute humidity refers to the actual amount of water vapor present in the air,
measured in grams per cubic meter, while relative humidity is the ratio of the amount
of water vapor present in the air to the maximum amount it could hold at a given
temperature, expressed as a percentage.

**Application Based Question**

Raman who lives in Greenland, experiences cold climate throughout the year. Why is
it so?

- Greenland experiences a cold climate due to its high latitude and proximity to
the Arctic region. Its location near the North Pole results in long winters with
low temperatures and little sunlight, leading to a predominance of cold weather
throughout the year.

**Long Answer Questions**

1. **List and explain factors that affect atmospheric pressure.**

- Factors affecting atmospheric pressure include temperature, altitude, humidity, and

weather systems such as high and low-pressure areas. Temperature affects pressure
by influencing air density, with warmer air being less dense and exerting lower
pressure. Altitude also impacts pressure, with pressure decreasing as altitude
increases. Humidity affects pressure by altering air density, with moist air being less
dense than dry air. Weather systems such as high-pressure areas (anticyclones) and
low-pressure areas (cyclones) create differences in pressure, influencing wind patterns
and weather conditions.

2. **Give a brief account of the three heat zones on the Earth’s surface.**

- The three heat zones on Earth’s surface are the torrid zone, temperate zone, and
frigid zone. The torrid zone lies between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of
Capricorn, receiving the most direct sunlight and experiencing the highest
temperatures. The temperate zones lie between the tropics and the polar circles, with
moderate temperatures and distinct seasons. The frigid zones lie near the poles,
experiencing cold temperatures year-round due to minimal sunlight and long winters.

3. **What are local winds? Describe the different local winds of the world.**
 - Local winds are winds that occur over a limited area and are influenced by local
geography, temperature variations, and pressure differences. Examples of local winds
include sea breezes, land breezes, mountain and valley breezes, and monsoons. Sea
breezes occur during the day when cooler air from the sea moves towards the warmer
land, while land breezes occur at night when cooler air from the land moves towards
the warmer sea. Mountain and valley breezes result from temperature differences
between mountain slopes and valleys, with cool air descending.
