Answer: The elements of weather are humidity, temperature, rainfall, wind speed, etc.

Q2. What do you understand by the climate of the place?

Answer: The average weather [pattern taken over a long time is called climate of the place.

Q3. How are all changes in the weather caused?

Answer: All changes in the weather are caused by the sun.
Q4. Why does the tropical region have a hot climate?

Answer:  It has a hot climate because of its location around the equator. Even in the coldest month the temperature is generally higher than about 15degree C. During the hot  summers, the temperature may cross 40 degrees.

Q5. What do you mean by adaptations?

Answer: It is the phenomenon of acquiring certain features and habits that ensure better survival in given surroundings.

Q6. Why are the animals in the tropical rainforests exhibit variety of adaptations?

Answer: The climatic conditions in rainforests are highly suitable for supporting an enormous number and variety of animals. Since the number is large, there is intense competition for food and shelter. Adaptations ensure survival.

Answer:  With the help of modified teeth called tusk.

Q9. What do you understand by weather of the place?

Answer: The day to day condition of the atmosphere at a place with respect to the temperature, humidity, rainfall, wind speed, etc, is called the weather at that place.

Q10. What is the function of sticky pads in red eyed frog?

Answer:  Sticky pads on feet help the red-eyed frog to climb trees on which it lives.

Q11. Give reasons;-

a. Polar bears have 2 thick layers of fur.

1. In Polar Regions, Polar bear- has two thick layers of fur, white coloured fur, very strong sense of smell, long curved and sharp claws
2. In tropical regions, many animals have sensitive hearing, sharp eyesight, thick skin and a skin colour which helps them to camouflage by blending with the surroundings. E.g. big cats

Q15 How do elephant living in the tropical rainforest adapt itself?

 Tusks are modified teeth .it can tear the bark of the trees with it.
 Large ears of the elephant help it to hear even very soft sounds.

CBSE Class-7th Science Weather, Climate and Adaptations of Animal and Climate
Weather describes the condition of the atmosphere. It might be sunny, hot, windy or cloudy, raining or snowing. 
The weather depends on the temperature, precipitation, humidity and atmospheric pressure of the part of atmosphere (air) closest to the surface of the earth. The weather is constantly changing as temperature and humidity change in the atmosphere. 
Climate is the average weather conditions - temperature, pressure, precipitation and humidity - expected for a certain place. Climate is based on the average weather experienced over 30 years or more. Read full post:

NCERT Activity Chapter 02 Acid Bases and Salt Class 10 Chemistry Activity 2.1 Indicator Acid Base Red litmus No Change Blue Blue Litmus Red No change Phenolphthalein Colourless Pink Methyl Orange Pink   Yellow Indictors are substance which change colour in acidic or basic media. Activity 2.2 There are some substances whose odour changes in in acidic or basic media. These are called olfactory indicators. Like onion vanilla, onion and clove. These changes smell in basic solution. Activity 2.3 Take about 5 mL of dilute sulphuric acid in a test tube and add few pieces of zinc granules to it. => You will observe bubbles of hydrogen gas on the surface of zinc granules. Zn + H2SO4 --> ZnSO4 + H2 => Pass the Hydrogen gas through the soap solution. Bubbles formed in the soap solution as Hydrogen gas it does not get d...

Class 10 Metal and Non MetalsChapter 03 NCERT Activity Solutions

X Class 10 NCERT Activity Explanation Class 10 Metals and Non Metals Activity 3.1 Page No. 37 Take samples of iron, copper, aluminium and magnesium. Note the appearance of each sample. They have a shining surface. Clean the surface of each sample by rubbing them with sand paper and note their appearance again. They become more shiny. => Freshly cut Metal have shiny surface Activity 3.2 Page No. 37 Take small pieces of iron, copper, aluminium, and magnesium. Try to cut these metals with a sharp knife and note your observations. They are very hard to cut. Hold a piece of sodium metal with a pair of tongs and try to cut it with a knife. Sodium can be cut easily with knife. Hence K and Na are soft metal cut with knife Activity 3.3 Page No. 38 Take pieces of iron, zinc, lead and copper try to strike it four or five times with a hammer. These metals are beaten into thin sheet on hammering. This property of metal is called malleability and metals are called malleable. Activity 3.4 Page ...

Class 09 Atoms and Molecules Numerical Problem based on Law of chemical Combination(Solved)

Class 09 Atoms and Molecules Numerical Problem based on Law of chemical Combination Law of conservation of mass Law of constant proportion Empirical formula 1. If 10 grams of CaCO 3 on heating gave 4.4g of CO 2 and 5.6g of CaO, show that these observations are in agreement with the law of conservation of mass.(Based on Law of conservation of mass) Solution:  Mass of the reactants = 10g ;  Mass of the products = 4.4 + 6.6g = 10g Since the mass of the reactants is equal to the mass of the products, the observations are in agreement with the law of conservation of mass. 2. 1.375 g of cupric oxide was reduced by heating and the weight of copper that remained was 1.098g.  In another experiment 1.179 g of copper was dissolved in nitric acid and the resulting copper nitrate was converted into cupric oxide by ignition . The weight of cupric oxide formed was 1.476 g. which law of chemical combinations does this data state? Solution: in first experiment: Copper oxide = 1....
