A)
Seasonal
B)
Night Time
C)
Seasonal and Night Time
D)
Day Time

Correct Answer :   Day Time

Sea breezes occur during hot, summer days because of the unequal heating rates of land and water. During the day, the land surface heats up faster than the water surface. Therefore, the air above the land is warmer than the air above the ocean.

A)
Proteins
B)
Starch
C)
Vitamins
D)
Fats

Correct Answer :   Starch

Saliva contains special enzymes that help digest the starches in your food. An enzyme called amylase breaks down starches (complex carbohydrates) into sugars, which your body can more easily absorb. Saliva also contains an enzyme called lingual lipase, which breaks down fats.

A)
Speed of Wind
B)
Depth of Water
C)
Intensity of light
D)
Velocity of Water flow

Correct Answer :   Speed of Wind

An anemometer is an instrument that measures wind speed and wind pressure. Anemometers are important tools for meteorologists, who study weather patterns.

Pharma Industry
C)
Nuclear Power Plants
D)
Sugar Plants

Correct Answer :   Nuclear Power Plants

A)
343 m/s
B)
304 m/s
C)
256.12 m/s
D)
217.18 m/s

Correct Answer :   343 m/s

The speed of sound is the distance travelled per unit of time by a sound wave as it propagates through an elastic medium. At 20 °C (68 °F), the speed of sound in air is about 343 metres per second (1,235 km/h; 1,125 ft/s; 767 mph; 667 kn), or a kilometre in 2.9 s or a mile in 4.7 s. It depends strongly on temperature as well as the medium through which a sound wave is propagating.

A)
133 665 326 m/s
B)
279 133 992 m/s
C)
279 398 876 m/s
D)
299 792 458 m/s

Correct Answer :   299 792 458 m/s

A)
Granule
B)
Corona
C)
Photosphere
D)
Chromosphere

Correct Answer :   Corona

Corona - The corona is the outermost layer of the Sun, starting at about 1300 miles (2100 km) above the solar surface (the photosphere).

A)
-50°
B)
-40°
C)
-20°
D)
10°

Correct Answer :   -40°

Celsius and Fahrenheit are two temperature scales. The Fahrenheit and Celsius scales have one point at which they intersect. They are equal at -40°C and -40°F.

A)
Hydrometer
B)
Barometer
C)
Hygrometer
D)
None of the above

Correct Answer :   Hygrometer

Hygrometer, instrument used in meteorological science to measure the humidity, or amount of water vapour in the air. Several major types of hygrometers are used to measure humidity.
