Q. Consider the following statements:
Which of the above statements is/are correct?Open in App
Solution
The correct option is D
2 and 3 only
Explanation:
Statement 1 in incorrect: The transfer of heat through horizontal movement of air is called advection. Convection is the process of vertical heating of the atmosphere.
Statement 2 is correct: Horizontal movement of the air is relatively more important than the vertical movement for the heating and cooling of the atmosphere. This is because it carries heat from heat surplus areas and distributes it in the deficit areas.
Statement 3 is correct: In northern India, during summer season local winds called ‘Loo’ is the outcome of the advection process.
Extra Information
The air in contact with the land gets heated slowly and the upper layers in contact with the lower layers also get heated. This process is called conduction.
