    Atmospheric sciences is related to ....? - ProProfs

    Atmospheric sciences is related to ....?

    • Botany

    • Climatology

    • Body system

    • Plants

    Correct Answer
    A. Climatology
    Explanation
    Atmospheric sciences is related to climatology because it is the study of the Earth's atmosphere, including its composition, structure, and dynamics. Climatology specifically focuses on long-term weather patterns and climate change, which is an important aspect of atmospheric sciences. While botany, body systems, and plants may also have some connections to the atmosphere, they are not directly related to atmospheric sciences in the same way that climatology is.

    ..... is the study of the upper layers of the atmosphere. - ProProfs

    ..... is the study of the upper layers of the atmosphere.

    • Aeronomy

    • Climatology

    • Planetary science

    • Solar System

    Correct Answer
    A. Aeronomy
    Explanation
    Aeronomy is the study of the upper layers of the atmosphere. It focuses on understanding the chemical and physical processes that occur in this region, including the interaction between the Earth's atmosphere and outer space. This field of study helps scientists gain insights into phenomena such as the auroras, the ozone layer, and the effects of solar radiation on the atmosphere.

    Atmospheric science has been extended to the field of ....?

    • Botany

    • Reproduction

    • Solar system

    • Planetary science

    Correct Answer
    A. Planetary science
    Explanation
    Atmospheric science is the study of Earth's atmosphere and its processes. It involves understanding weather patterns, climate, and the composition of the atmosphere. Planetary science, on the other hand, is the study of planets, moons, and other celestial bodies in our solar system and beyond. Since atmospheric science focuses on Earth's atmosphere, it is logical to extend this field to the study of atmospheres on other planets and celestial bodies, which falls under the domain of planetary science. Therefore, the correct answer is Planetary science.

    The goal of dynamical studies is to explain the observed circulations on the basis of fundamental principles from ....?

    • Agricultural science

    • Biology

    • Chemistry

    • Physics

    Correct Answer
    A. Physics
    Explanation
    Dynamical studies aim to understand and explain the observed circulations based on fundamental principles. Physics, being the branch of science that deals with the behavior of matter and energy, provides the necessary principles and laws to explain the dynamics of various systems. It encompasses concepts like forces, motion, energy, and interactions, which are crucial in understanding the circulations observed in different fields such as fluid dynamics, atmospheric science, and even biological systems. Therefore, physics is the most suitable discipline to provide the fundamental principles required for dynamical studies.

    The only moon that has retained a dense atmosphere is ....? - ProProfs

    The only moon that has retained a dense atmosphere is ....?

    • Titan

    • Triton

    • Theia

    • Gala

    Correct Answer
    A. Titan
    Explanation
    Titan is the correct answer because it is the only moon in our solar system that has a dense atmosphere. Its atmosphere is primarily composed of nitrogen, with traces of methane and other hydrocarbons. This atmosphere is even thicker than Earth's atmosphere, making Titan the only moon where liquid can exist on the surface in the form of lakes and rivers. The dense atmosphere of Titan has made it an intriguing target for scientific study, as it may hold clues about the early Earth and the potential for life on other planets or moons.

    ..... involves the study of observations and theory dealing with all motion systems of meteorological importance. - ProProfs

    ..... involves the study of observations and theory dealing with all motion systems of meteorological importance.

    • Atmospheric biology

    • Atmospheric physics

    • Atmospheric dynamics

    • Atmospheric chemistry

    Correct Answer
    A. Atmospheric dynamics
    Explanation
    Atmospheric dynamics involves the study of observations and theory dealing with all motion systems of meteorological importance. This includes the analysis of atmospheric circulation patterns, wind patterns, and the movement of air masses. It also encompasses the study of atmospheric phenomena such as hurricanes, tornadoes, and thunderstorms. Understanding atmospheric dynamics is crucial for predicting weather patterns and climate change, as well as for studying the interactions between the atmosphere and other Earth systems.

    In ...., atmospheric studies are underpinned by the Meteorological Office.

    • United Kingdom

    • United States of America

    • France

    • Russia

    Correct Answer
    A. United Kingdom
    Explanation
    The correct answer is United Kingdom. In the United Kingdom, atmospheric studies are supported by the Meteorological Office. This indicates that the Meteorological Office in the UK plays a significant role in conducting research and providing data on atmospheric conditions and weather patterns.

    Atmospheric sciences has how many categories? - ProProfs

    Atmospheric sciences has how many categories?

    • Three

    • Two

    • One

    • Four

    Correct Answer
    A. Two
    Explanation
    Atmospheric sciences has two categories. This suggests that there are two main divisions or branches within the field of atmospheric sciences. These categories could refer to different areas of study or research within atmospheric sciences, such as meteorology and climatology. By having two categories, it allows for a more focused and specialized approach to understanding and studying the Earth's atmosphere.
