Geography Que-Ans: [2 Marks Each]

The following steps can be taken to control global warming:

Reducing the combustion of fossil fuels.

Alternative use of natural gas as a source of energy.

Using solar power, wind power, tidal power etc.

Promoting afforestation activity.

Proper precautions should be taken to ensure that greenhouse gases are not released into the atmosphere.

To make the students aware about this at school, college level, to provide proper management for it.

Solar shock is the heat energy received by the sun's rays from the earth's surface and atmosphere.

Temperature is the amount of heat that the sun receives from the earth's surface and the atmosphere.

In the tropics the temperature stays high as the sun's rays are perpendicular to the temperature.

While in the polar, region, the temperature feels low as the sun's rays are diagonal.

The climate of a region can be determined from sun exposure and temperature whether it is hot, cold, even or uneven.

Climate elements vary according to latitude, sunlight, and temperature as well as day length.

In the regions around the equator, the sun's rays fall almost vertically for about twelve months, so it is very hot here.

So as the sun's rays are diagonal towards the opposite poles, it is twelve months cold here.

Thus, the lower the latitude the higher the temperature while the higher the latitude the lower the temperature.

Thus, the proportion of sunlight and temperature varies according to latitude.
