Atmospheric Phenomena starts at 6 and continues till grade 12.
QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Atmospheric Phenomena.
How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take.
When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 8
Describe how a rainbow is formed in the atmosphere.
Describe the process of convection in the atmosphere.
Describe the process of the water cycle in the atmosphere.

Explain why air pressure is higher at sea level than at the top of a mountain.
Explain why dew forms on grass in the early morning.
Explain why temperature generally decreases as altitude increases in the troposphere.

A scientist measures the atmospheric pressure at two different locations: Location A at sea level and Location B at 3,000 meters above sea level. If the pressure at sea level is 1013 hPa, and the pressure drops by about 12 hPa for every 100 meters increase in altitude, estimate the atmospheric pressure at Location B.
A weather report states that the dew point is 18°C and the air temperature is 20°C. What does this indicate about the humidity and the likelihood of precipitation?
Describe how the movement of the jet stream can influence weather patterns in different regions.
Describe the role of latent heat in the formation of thunderstorms.
