If water vapour directly condenses into solid form, it is known as _________
  • evaporation
  • condensation
  • sublimation
  • saturation
What is the energy required to change water's state or phase, without changing its temperature called?
  • Latent heat of the Earth
  • Latent heat of the water
  • Latent heat of the rock
  • Latent heat of the atmosphere
______ is frozen raindrops and refrozen melted snow-water.
  • Sleet
  • Frost
  • Cloud
  • Mist
When air containing water reaches its saturation point, then
  • No more water evaporates from the ground
  • It leads to evaporation above sea and precipitation above land.
  • Water vapour forms droplets
  • The droplets fall out of the clouds
The percentage of moisture present in the atmosphere as compared to its full capacity at a given temperature is known as the
  • Relative humidity
  • Specific humidity
  • Absolute humidity
  • Saturated air
The air can only contain a certain amount of water vapour before it is saturated. This amount is dependent on
  • the temperature of the air
  • whether the air is above sea or land
  • the wind speed
  • the amount of dust particles in the air
Orographic rainfall is more on
  • windward slopes
  • leeward slopes
  • plains
  • valleys
The alto clouds are found at
  • high levels
  • mid-levels
  • low levels
  • low, mid, and high levels
When the water containing air becomes saturated, then
  • it will be calm
  • it will be windy above sea and rainy above land
  • it will start to rain
  • clouds will be formed
The actual amount of the water vapour present in the atmosphere is known as _________
  • Relative humidity
  • Absolute humidity
  • Condensation
  • None of the above
________ is a mass of minute water droplets or tiny crystals of ice formed by the condensation of the water vapour in free air at considerable elevations.
  • Dew
  • Frost
  • Cloud
  • Mist
Rainshadow zone means
  • windward slopes of the mountains
  • the leeward side of the mountain
  • mountainous area
  • coastal area
