Question 4.
\nDelhi and Mumbai are both situated on plains and their height above sea level is less than 300 metres. Why is there so much difference in their monthly average temperatures? In which months are the average temperatures in these two cities most similar? Can you explain?
\nAnswer:
\nMumbai experiences moderate climate while Delhi experiences extreme climate. This is because Mumbai\u2019s coastal nature and tropical location ensures moderate temperature throughout the year. Delhi\u2019s distance from the sea gives it an extreme type of climate.
\nThe average temperatures in these two cities are more similar in the months of August and September.<\/p>\n

    Question 10.
    \nNithin says thermal power is better to use, but Padmaja says that Solar Energy is better. Which of them do you support? Why?
    \n(OR)
    \nHow is solar energy better than thermal power?
    \nAnswer:
    \nSolar energy is better than thermal power because solar energy is clean, breath-takingly abundant and is a responsible renewable resource to meet much of the world\u2019s energy needs, as well as a fundamental need of our body for vitamin D.<\/p>\n

    Question 11.
    \nRead the para under the title “Height and Temperature” and comment on it.<\/p>\n

    At the peak of summer some people go from the plains to hilly places such as Ooty or Shimla to avoid the heat. Even in the summer months, the temperatures are low on high hills. The highest parts of a mountain generally have the lowest temperatures. Temperatures decreases with elevation (height).<\/em><\/p>\n

    Answer:
    \nThe temperature decreases with altitude. On an average, the temperature decreases by 3.5\u00b0F for every 1000 ft of altitude (6.5\u00b0C for every 1000 metres).
    \nAdditional information: The lapse rate depends on, if the air is dry or moist – in dry air, the temperature decreases more quickly, in moist air more slowly.<\/p>\n

    8th Class Social Studies 2nd Lesson Energy from the Sun InText Questions and Answers<\/h3>\n

    \"AP<\/p>\n

    Question 1.
    \nCan you point out the difference between insolation and radiation? (Textbook Page No. 19)
    \nAnswer:
    \nInsolation: The radiation received on the surface of a body is called insolation.
    \n\"APRadiation: When a body gives out energy it is called radiation.<\/p>\n

    Question 2.
    \nWhat will happen if the atmosphere gets more polluted with smoke and duct? (Textbook Page No. 19)
    \nAnswer:
    \nSome amount of solar rays are absorbed or reflected away by smoke or dust in the atmosphere. If the atmosphere gets more polluted with smoke and dust, it may absorb more heat. As a result the temperatures on the earth may raise. If it reflects more, there will not be heat on the earth. Both are dangerous to \u2018the life\u2019 on \u2018the earth\u2019.<\/p>\n

    \"AP<\/p>\n

    Question 3.
    \nCan you tell why there is difference in heating of land and water? (Textbook Page No. 21)
    \nAnswer:
    \nThe water is transparent and lets energy pass through. On the other land, the sun heats up only the top layer of the land. This is because the land is solid. A solid is opaque and does not let energy through. This is the difference in heating of land and water.<\/p>\n

    Question 4.
    \na) Where will the rays fall more slanting – in Japan or North Pole? (Textbook Page No. 20)
    \nAnswer:
    \nIn North pole.<\/p>\n

    b) Where will Sun\u2019s rays fall more intensively, in Andhra Pradesh or Rajasthan?
    \nAnswer:
    \nIn Andhra Pradesh.<\/p>\n

    c) If the Earth is flat and not curved, then which will get more heat – Japan or the Equator, or both equally?
    \nAnswer:
    \nBoth equally,<\/p>\n

    d) Look at the globe and say which countries wifi be hotter and which will be cooler?
    \nAnswer:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Australia, Indonesia, Philippines, Cambodia, India, Chile, Brazil, Sudan, Uganda, etc. -hotter.<\/li>\n
    2. North America, Iceland, Scandinavia and Russia, etc. – cooler.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Question 12.
        \nSometimes, especially in mornings of winters, coal temperatures are found near the ground. You can see dew drops on the grass due to condensation. The cooler temperatures near the ground level are due to less amount of insolation received due to the shorter days and excessive radiation due to the longer nights. This is known as inversion.

        \nQuestion 1.
        \nYou know that the Sun is the source of heat on the Earth. But why do you think the heat varies from morning to night or from season to season and from place to place? We are listing some variations here. Try to think a reason for it and discuss in the class before you proceed to read this chapter. (Textbook Page No. 18)<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Cool in the early morning and warmer in the afternoon.<\/li>\n
        2. Warm in summer and cool in winter.<\/li>\n
        3. Cool on hill tops and warm in the plains.<\/li>\n
        4. Warm in Equatorial region and cold in Polar region.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Answer:
          \nThe heat on the earth varies from morning to night or from season to season and from place to place. The reasons are latitude, altitude, distance from the sea, ocean currents, mountain barriers, air masses and prevailing wind system.
          \nReason 1: In the morning the Sun\u2019s rays are slanting on a particular place. In the afternoon they are straight on the same place. This is due to rotation.<\/p>\n

          Reason 2: During the summer the Sun\u2019s rays hit the earth at a steep angle. The light does not spread out as much, thus increasing the amount of energy hitting any given spot. Also the long day light hours allow the earth plenty of time to reach warm temperatures. This is due to revolution.<\/p>\n

          Reason 3: The average rate of decrease of the temperature of normal air with the increase in height. It is equal to 6\u00b0C\/km. (Normal Lapse Rate)<\/p>\n

          Reason 4: The Sun\u2019s rays fall straight on the equatorial region and starting on the poles.
          \nThis is due to curvature of the earth.<\/p>\n
