(d) both temperature and pressure fall with increasing depth/ बढ़ती गहराई के साथ तापमान और दबाव दोनों गिरते हैं
Show Answer
Ans.(a)
Sol.Structure of earth’s interior is fundamentally divided into three layers – crust, mantle and core.A rise in temperature with increase in depth is observed in mines and deep wells.These evidence along with molten lava erupted from the earth’s interior supports that the temperature increases towards the centre of the earth.Just like the temperature, the pressure is also increasing from the surface towards the centre of the earth.

(b) Mesosphere/ मध्य मंडल
(c) Tropopause/ क्षोभमंडल
(d) Ionosphere/ आयनमंडल
Show Answer
Ans.(c)
Sol.The boundary between the turbulent troposphere and the calm, cold stratosphere is called the tropopause. Jet streams travel in the tropopause.Jet streams are some of the strongest winds in the atmosphere. Their speeds usually range from 129 to 225 kilometers per hour (80 to 140 miles per hour), but they can reach more than 443 kilometers per hour (275 miles per hour). They are faster in winter when the temperature differences between tropical, temperate, and polar air currents are greater.

Show Answer
Ans.(d)
Sol.Rice and other crops are grown on the terraces. Hilly areas use this method of cultivation. The states that practice the cultivation are Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh and north-east states.Terrace cultivation, method of growing crops on sides of hills or mountains by planting on graduated terraces built into the slope. Though labour-intensive, the method has been employed effectively to maximize arable land area in variable terrains and to reduce soil erosion and water loss.
