Explanation / Answer
3) Which of the following technologies is focused specifically on "Location"?
answer- b) GPS, full form of gps is global positioning system which is owned by USA. its help us to know the geolocation and and time inbformation.
4. Which of the following is true concerning Time Zones?
answer- d) All of these. as we know that our earth having a huge mass land and the timing of the sunrise is different from each other. , so by scientist set a standard time based on the longitudional which go through the greenwich , longitudional lines aren the imaginary line on the earth , each region having a different time zone according to the greenwich time zone, there is total 24 time zone in the whole world or we can say that world is classified into 24 time zones.
7. A/an ______ map is a map that shows correct area relationships over the entire map.
answer- b) Equivalent, in this map ratio of the earth's surface and map is 1.
8. If you had to produce the most accurate representation of the Earth, how would you do it? (What would you make/draw/produce?)
answer- if we want to most accurate representation of the earth than answer will be the Globe. because earth is sphere and globe represents it accurately. globe fulfill the all requirements which is necessary for the representation of the earth like earth's size, shape, position of the land and ocean according to the lattitude and longitude and so on.
9. Based on how isolines work, if you read a topographic map, on which the contour lines were extremely close together, what is the most likely type of land form you are viewing?
answer- d) a plateau, a plateau is the uplifted land which surrounded by steep slope and we know that isoline of the steep slope are closed.
10. Based on how isolines worl, if you read a weather map, on which the isobars were extremely far apart, the wind is...
answer- b) very slow wind speed, gap between the isobars is represent the pressure difference in that region, means if the the space is less than pressure will be greater on that place and wind speed will be higher and id space is big than pressure is low and wind speed is also low on that area.
11. On June 21, we experience the ____ in the Northern Hemisphere.
answer-d) Summer Solstice, on this day length of the day is highest in the whole year in the northern hemisphere.
12. March 20 is the _____ in the southern hemisphere.
answer-c) Fall Equinox, subsolar point cross the equator and leave the southern hemisphere.
13. Please give a brief explanation of what causes seasonal changes around the world. (Earth Sun Relationships)
earth rotates around the sun and its axis is tilt to the sun at 23.5 degree which is the cause of seasonal change. at the time of summer northern hemisphere recieves m ore heat from the sun than the southeren hemisphere and in winters it recieves less heat and vice versa for the southern hemisphere.
14. If air is spinning clockwise and moving down, it has to be...
answer- b) a low pressure system in the southern hemisphere
15. The _____ deflects the path of free moving objects to the right in the Northern Hemisphere, and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere.
answer-
d) Coriolis effect
16. The ______ generates the Trade Winds.
answer- d) Sub-Tropical High (Hadley Cell), subtropical high is the high pressure zone compare to the equator thats why wind comes to the equator from sub tropic zones which generates trade winds.
17. Dividing "Actual Water Vapor" Content by "Water Vapor Capacity" represents _________.
answer- b) Relative humidity, relative humidity = actual water vapor content / water vapor capacity
19. Please explain what makes some tropical depressions more powerful than others... i.e. what powers a hurricane?
answer- tropical depression is generates in very low pressure system. in this area winds comes from the high pressure zone and flows in a circular form , which is called by different names in different countries like hurricane, tornado etc.
