Q:

Lightning is produced when 

A) Similar charges of electricity rush towards each other and then get repelled B) clouds strike against impurities in air and the friction burns up these impurities
C) strong opposite charges in different clouds break down the resistance offered by the intervening air D) water vapour produces electricity in the clouds
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) strong opposite charges in different clouds break down the resistance offered by the intervening air

Explanation:

When the resistance of the air between breaks down the current flows from the positive cloud to the negative cloud in a flash which we call lightning . The difference of potential involves is very high.

Q:

In general, which is the cause of a sea breeze?

A) Pressure B) Specific heat
C) Heat D) All the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Specific heat

Explanation:

The usual cause of sea breeze is the difference in specific heat capacity between land and water Land heats and cools more quickly than water.

 

What is the cause of a sea breeze?

The air over the land is warmed and rises, to a greater temperature than that over the sea. This produces a convection current, with cooler air flowing in from over the sea to replace that rising from the land. At night the land cools more than the sea, so the action reverses to produce a land-breeze, blowing off the land.
