What is the general trend of rainfall as we move from the equator towards the poles? A. Rainfall fluctuates randomly. B. Rainfall decreases. C. Rainfall remains constant. D. Rainfall increases. Explanation: Rainfall tends to decrease as we move away from the equator and towards the poles. 2 / 202. What is the name for the type of clouds that are thin and detached, having a feathery appearance? A. Cumulus B. Nimbus C. Stratus D. Cirrus Explanation: Cirrus clouds are high-altitude clouds with a wispy, feathery appearance. 3 / 203. What is the term for the moisture deposited in the form of minute ice crystals on cold surfaces? A. Dew B. Fog C. Frost D. Mist Explanation: Frost occurs when water vapor changes directly into ice crystals on surfaces when the temperature is below freezing. 4 / 204. What is the term for the precipitation in the form of fine flakes of snow? A. Sleet B. Snowfall C. Hail D. Rain Explanation: Snowfall is the precipitation of ice crystals in the form of flakes. 5 / 205. What is the primary source of energy that drives the water cycle? A. Pressure B. Heat C. Gravity D. Wind Explanation: Heat from the sun is the main driver of evaporation, which is a key process in the water cycle. 6 / 206. What is the term for the moisture deposited in the form of minute water droplets on cooler surfaces of solid objects? A. Dew B. Frost C. Fog D. Mist Explanation: Dew forms when water vapor condenses into liquid droplets on surfaces like grass or leaves. 7 / 207. What is the term for the temperature at which water starts evaporating? A. Condensation point B. Boiling point C. Dew point D. Latent heat of vaporization Explanation: The latent heat of vaporization is the amount of heat required to change water from a liquid to a gas. 8 / 208. What is the term for the process where rainwater passes through colder layers and solidifies into small, rounded pieces of ice? A. Snow formation B. Hail formation C. Sleet formation D. Rain formation Explanation: Hail forms when raindrops are carried upward into extremely cold areas of a thunderstorm and freeze. 9 / 209. What is the main difference between fog and mist? A. Fog occurs at higher altitudes. B. Fog is thicker than mist. C. Mist is thicker than fog. D. Mist occurs at lower altitudes. Explanation: Mist and fog are similar, but mist has a higher concentration of water droplets, making it denser. 10 / 2010. What is the primary source of energy that drives the water cycle? A. Gravity B. Wind C. Pressure D. Heat Explanation: Heat from the sun is the main driver of evaporation, which is a key process in the water cycle. 11 / 2011. Which areas of the world generally receive greater amounts of rainfall than the interiors of continents? A. Mountain peaks B. Coastal areas C. Polar regions D. Deserts Explanation: Coastal areas are closer to large water sources, leading to higher levels of evaporation and rainfall. 12 / 2012. What is the name for the type of clouds that are formed due to the mixing of air masses with different temperatures? A. Nimbus B. Stratus C. Cirrus D. Cumulus Explanation: Stratus clouds can form when air masses of different temperatures mix, causing condensation. 13 / 2013. Between which latitudes is rainfall heavier on the eastern coasts and decreases towards the west? A. 35° to 40° N and S B. 0° to 10° N and S C. 15° to 25° N and S D. 45° to 65° N and S Explanation: Due to global wind patterns, rainfall is higher on eastern coasts and lower on western coasts in these latitudes. 14 / 2014. What is the main difference between fog and mist? A. Mist is thicker than fog. B. Fog is thicker than mist. C. Mist occurs at lower altitudes. D. Fog occurs at higher altitudes. Explanation: Mist and fog are similar, but mist has a higher concentration of water droplets, making it denser. 15 / 2015. Which areas of the world generally receive greater amounts of rainfall than the interiors of continents? A. Polar regions B. Mountain peaks C. Deserts D. Coastal areas Explanation: Coastal areas are closer to large water sources, leading to higher levels of evaporation and rainfall. 16 / 2016. What is the general trend of rainfall as we move from the equator towards the poles? A. Rainfall decreases. B. Rainfall increases. C. Rainfall remains constant. D. Rainfall fluctuates randomly. Explanation: Rainfall tends to decrease as we move away from the equator and towards the poles. 17 / 2017. What is the name for the type of clouds that are formed due to the mixing of air masses with different temperatures? A. Cumulus B. Nimbus C. Cirrus D. Stratus Explanation: Stratus clouds can form when air masses of different temperatures mix, causing condensation. 18 / 2018. What is the term for the precipitation in the form of fine flakes of snow? A. Sleet B. Rain C. Snowfall D. Hail Explanation: Snowfall is the precipitation of ice crystals in the form of flakes. 19 / 2019. What is the term for the temperature at which water starts evaporating? A. Condensation point B. Latent heat of vaporization C. Boiling point D. Dew point Explanation: The latent heat of vaporization is the amount of heat required to change water from a liquid to a gas. 20 / 2020. Between which latitudes is rainfall heavier on the eastern coasts and decreases towards the west? A. 0° to 10° N and S B. 15° to 25° N and S C. 45° to 65° N and S D. 35° to 40° N and S Explanation: Due to global wind patterns, rainfall is higher on eastern coasts and lower on western coasts in these latitudes.
