Questions and Answers

What is the main reason for the moderating effect of the sea on coastal areas?

  • The sea causes cool air from the sea to flow inland, regulating the temperature (correct)
  • The sea causes dry warm air from interior Sindh and Punjab to flow towards the coast in winters
  • The sea creates a low pressure area, causing dry warm air from the interior to flow towards the coast
  • The sea retains its warmth in winters, causing cold air from coastal areas to flow towards the sea

    • How does the altitude of an area affect its average temperatures?

  • The atmosphere is heated directly by the short-wavelength solar radiation
  • The atmosphere is heated from the bottom by long-wave radiation from the Earth's surface (correct)
  • The short-wavelength solar radiation is poorly absorbed by the air particles (gases and water vapors)
  • The long-wave radiation from the Earth's surface is better absorbed by gas molecules and water vapors

    • What is the main characteristic of a continental climate?

  • Consistent year-round temperatures
  • Moderate summers and mild winters
