Question

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Consider the following statements:

1. Cold air at the hills and mountains at night flows under the influence of gravity. They move down the slope to pile up deeply in pockets and valley bottoms with warm air above. This is called air drainage.

2. The Inversion takes place in hills and mountains due to air drainage.

Select the correct statement/s from the options given below.

• A. 1 only
• B. 2 only
• C. Both 1 and 2
• D. Neither 1 nor 2

Answer 1

The correct option is C Both 1 and 2

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> The cooling of air is more at hill tops during night. The cold dense air flows to the valley under the influence of gravity and displace the warm air. This results in thermal inversion.
