2. There is no cloud formation in orographic rainfall.
   
3. Windward region faces less rainfall than leeward region.
4. Leeward region faces less rainfall than windward region.

Q.

1. False
2. True

Q.

Answer the following in one statement:
How are convection currents formed?

Q. Which of the following statement(s) is/are correct?
Statement I: Sun heats up the sea water to cause evaporation, thus forming cloud.
Statement II: Convection is the process in which heat transfers from one body to another through body contact.

1. Both I and II
   
2. Only I
   
3. Only II
   
4. Neither I nor II
   

Q.

Explain how water at the top of the pan gets hot?

Q. In , hot water rises up and cold water comes down to take its place, thus forming currents.

1. conduction
2. convection
3. condensation

Q. Orographic rainfall happens more on the side than on the side.

2. windward
3. leeward
4. landward
