A. weak coriolis force
B. light and variable width
C. excessive humidity
D. connective activity
✅ The correct answer is option A.
At the equator the Coriolis force is absent(Coriolis force is directly proportional to latitudinal angle), and the wind will blow perpendicular to the isobar.

94. The period of daylight

A. is nearly constant near the equator
B. varies with latitude and the season
C. reaches a maximum of 24 hour in the polar zones in summer

B. infrared rays from the sun
C. ultraviolet rays from the sun
D. None of the above
✅ The correct answer is option A.
Tides are the short term periodic rise and fall of the world’s oceans. They are due to the combined effects of gravitational attraction and the revolution of the Earth-moon system about its common centre of mass.

99. The ozone layer at high altitude contains

A. atomic oxygen (O) and ordinary oxygen (O2)
B. only ozone (O3)
C. mixture of atomic oxygen (O), ordinary oxygen (O2) and Ozone (O3)
D. only ordinary oxygen (O2)
✅ The correct answer is option C.
The ozone layer at high altitude contains mixture of atomic oxygen (O), ordinary oxygen (O2) and Ozone (O3).

D. 50 to 400 mm of rainfall a year
✅ The correct answer is option A.
