6. Give reasons:
a. Why does the surface of the earth not get sunlight regularly?
Answer: Due to the tilting axis of the earth, the surface of the earth does not get sunlight regularly.
b. Why is weather forecasting needed?
Answer: Weather forecasting is needed to take precaution for the safety of life and property from natural disaster.
7. Answer the following questions.
a. What bring changes in weather condition?
Answer: The amount of sunshine, temperature, humidity and the speed of the wind bring changes in weather condition.
b. List down the factors that cause change in weather and climate.
Answer: The factors that cause change in weather and climate are:-
i. Sunlight,
ii. Wind,
iii. Cloud,
iv. Rain,
v. Humidity,
vi. Monsoon.
c. What are clouds?
Answer: Clouds are large mass of water droplets and ice particles.
d. How are clouds formed?
Answer: Clouds are formed when condenses water droplets cling together.
e. How is weather forecasted?
Answer: Weather is forecasted by using different instruments like rain gauges, anemometer, hydrometers, maximum and minimum thermometers, barometers, etc.
f. What type of climate does the mountainous region of our country have?
Answer: The mountainous region of our country has cold climate.
g. How does the wind blow?
