(c) The incoming solar radiation received by the earth.

Ans. Insolation.

Q2. Answer the following questions in about 30 words.

(a) Mention the uses of the most plentiful gases of the atmosphere.

Ans. Nitrogen is the most plentiful gas occuring 78% of the atmosphere by volume and it is vital for plant
life. Oxygen makes up about 21% of the air by volume. Human beings and animals need oxygen to
breathe.

(b) Give the significance of the ozone layer to human beings.

Ans. Ozone layer absorbs ultraviolet rays from the sun. If these rays were to reach the earth, it would be
dangerous for the existence of the life forms on the surface of the earth.

Ans. The atmosphere does not get heated directly by the sun's rays. It absorbs very little of the solar
radiation. From the ground surface, the heat is transferred to atmosphere through the process of
radiation, conduction, convection and advection. Thus the atmosphere is heated up.

(d) Name the main pressure belts on the surface of the earth.

Ans. The main pressure belts on the surface of the earth are Equatorial Low Pressure Belt, Sub-tropical
High Pressure Belts, Sub-Polar Low Pressure Belts and Polar High Pressure Belts.
