No convectional rainfall occurs in this region because of the low rate of evaporation and lack of moisture in the air. Cyclonic rainfall takes place. Most of the rainfall takes place on summer days. In the coastal areas, where cyclones are strongly felt, most of the rain falls in winter. Statement 3 is also correct. Due to extremely harsh climatic conditions, hardly any vegetation can survive in this region. There are no trees in Tundra because of the very short growing season and very low temperatures the whole year round. Mosses, lichens and sedges grow here. In coastal lowlands, some hardy grasses grow.##Topic:No_topic##Subject:Agriculture##Answer:d

Statement 1 is incorrect. Humus accumulates in cold climates as bacterial growth is slow. In humid tropical and equatorial climates, bacterial growth and action is intense and dead vegetation is rapidly oxidised leaving very low humus content in the soil. Statement 2 is correct. In dry climates, because of high temperature, evaporation exceeds precipitation and hence ground water is brought up to the surface by capillary action and in the process the water evaporates leaving behind salts in the soil. Such salts form into a crust in the soil known as hardpans.

Statement 1 is correct. Tundra climate is found mainly north of the Arctic Circle in the northern hemisphere. It has long severe winters and cool and short summers. Statement 2 is also correct. No convectional rainfall occurs in this region because of the low rate of evaporation and lack of moisture in the air. Cyclonic rainfall takes place. Most of the rainfall takes place on summer days. In the coastal areas, where cyclones are strongly felt, most of the rain falls in winter. Statement 3 is also correct. Due to extremely harsh climatic conditions, hardly any vegetation can survive in this region. There are no trees in Tundra because of the very short growing season and very low temperatures the whole year round. Mosses, lichens and sedges grow here. In coastal lowlands, some hardy grasses grow.

With decrease in temperature, air becomes denser at higher latitudes.

The air becomes thinner at higher altitudes.

The air pressure is low at higher altitudes.

With decrease in temperature, air becomes denser at higher latitudes.

Atmosphere exists in layer around the earth. Due to stratification and gravity, the density of air decrease as we go up in the mountains. Air becomes thinner at higher latitudes and therefor one find it difficult to breathe as one goes up. This is because of low pressure i.e. lesser air pressing down from above.

Year 2014 was 125th Birth Anniversary of Maulana Abul Kalam Azad. Born in Mecca where his forefathers had settled during the 1857 Revolt, Abul Kalam Azad came with his parents to India in 1898. Settled in Calcutta, he began participating in the freedom struggle by associating himself with the revolutionaries during the swadeshi uprising. Through Al Hilal and Al Balagh, weeklies which he began in 1912 and 1915 respectively, he started spreading nationalistic thoughts. He came in contact with Gandhi and began lending support to the non-cooperation agitation. He was made the head of the Khilafat Committee as well. He presided over the Congress' special session at Delhi in 1923 to become the youngest President. He was again elected President of the Congress at its Ramgarh session in 1940. He remained President as no session was held in the five following years . Abdul Kalam Azad headed the Jamiat ul Ulema as President in 1924, and the Nationalist Muslim Conference five years later in the same capacity. Confined to the Ahmednagar fort after his arrest along with other leaders in 1942, Maulana Azad participated in the Simla Conference after his release. He also negotiated with the British Cabinet Mission in 1946 for India's independence. He was made a member of the Constituent Assembly and became Minister of Education and Arts in the interim government.
