25.
Greenhouse effect is caused by carbon dioxide. Justify the statement.
1.
Process of circulation of air :
(i)When air is heated it expands, becomes light and rises up.
(ii) Cold air is dense so, it sinks down.
(iii) When hot air rises up, cold air from surrounding areas fill in the gap.
2.
Distinction between Rainfall and Snowfall
| S.No | Rainfall | Snowfall |
| (i) | These are the small droplets of water that fall on ground. | These are the frozen droplets of water that fall on ground. |
| (ii) | Rainfall occurs in the region where temperature remain above freezing point. | Snowfall occurs in the region where temperature remains below freezing point |
| (iii) | It is always in liquid form. | It is always in solid form. |
3.
The pressure exerted by the weight of air on the Earth's surface is called air pressure.

Our atmosphere has five different layers. They are:
(i) Troposphere,
(ii) Stratosphere,
(iii) Mesosphere,
(iv) Thermosphere,
(v) Exosphere.
(i) Troposphere : It is most important layer of the atmosphere with average height of 13 km from the earth. The air that we breathe exists here. Almost all the weather phenomena such as rainfall, fog and hailstorm occur here.
(ii) Stratosphere : This layer extends up to a height of 50 km. It presents the most ideal conditions for flying aeroplanes. It contains a layer of ozone gas which protects us from harmful effects of the sun rays.
(iii) Mesosphere : This layer extends up to a height of 80 km. Meteorites burn up in this layer on entering from the space.
(iv) Thermosphere: In this layer temperature rises very rapidly with increasing height. Ionosphere is the part of this layer. This layer extends between 80- 400km. It helps in radio transmission. Radio waves transmitted from the earth are reflected back to the earth by this layer.
(v) Exosphere: It is the uppermost layer where there is very thin air. Light gases such as helium and hydrogen float into the space from here.
10.
The atmosphere is divided into five layers starting from the Earth's surface
(i) Troposphere Its average height is 13 km. The air we breathe exists here. Almost all the weather phenomena like rainfall, fog and hailstorm occur in this layer.
(ii) Stratosphere It lies above the troposphere which extends up to a height of 50 km. This layer is almost free from clouds and associated weather phenomenon, making conditions most ideal for flying aeroplanes. It contains a layer of ozone gas.
(iii) Mesosphere It lies above the stratosphere. It extends up to the height of 80 km. Meteorites burn up in this layer on entering from the space.
(iv) Thermosphere In thermosphere, temperature rises very rapidly with increasing height. Ionosphere is a part of this layer. It extends between 80-400 km. This layer helps in radio transmission. In fact, radio waves transmitted from the Earth are reflected back to the Earth by this layer.
(v) Exosphere This uppermost layer. This layer has very thin air. Light gases like helium and hydrogen float into the space from here.

( )
Plants use carbon dioxide to make their food and release oxygen.
22.
( )
Cold air is denser and heavy, hence it tends to sink down.
23.
( )
When air is heated, it expands, becomes lighter and goes up.
24.
( )
Greenhouse gas maintains the atmospheric coldness, otherwise Earth would have been too cold to live in.
25.
( )
Carbon dioxide act as transparent to incoming sunlight but opaque to outgoing lights and heats which creates a greenhouse effect by trapping the heat radiated from the Earth.
