Question
Explain why The climate of a harbour town is more temperate than that of a town in a desert at the same latitude.
Advertisements
Solution 1
A harbour town has a more temperate climate (i.e., without the extremes of heat or cold) than a town located in a desert at the same latitude. This is because the relative humidity in a harbour town is more than it is in a desert town.
Solution 2
The climate of a harbour town is more temperate (neither too hot nor too cool) due to formation of sea breeze at day time and land breeze at night time

For an isothermal expansion of a perfect gas, the value of `(Delta "P")/"P"` is equal to ____________.
Assertion: Equal volumes of monatomic and polyatomic gases are adiabatically compressed separately to equal compression ratio `("P"_2/"P"_1)`. Then monatomic gas will have greater final volume.
Reason: Among ideal gases, molecules of a monatomic gas have the smallest number of degrees of freedom.
