Question

Match the terms in Column I with the suitable hydrometeorological variables in Column II.

 

• A. P-4, Q-3, R-1, S-5, T-2
• B. P-5, Q-4, R-1, S-3, T-2
• C. P-3, Q-4, R-1, S-5, T-2
• D. P-3, Q-4, R-2, S-5, T-1

Hint:

When dealing with meteorological terms, remember that "Iso" typically refers to equal values of a particular variable: "Isohyet" for rainfall, "Isobar" for pressure, and "Isopleth" for evapotranspiration or temperature.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

We need to match the terms in Column I with the suitable hydrometeorological variables in Column II. Let's go through each term:

P. Isopleth: refers to lines that connect points of equal value for a particular variable, often used for variables like temperature or evapotranspiration. In this case, Isopleth is most related to evapotranspiration. So, P matches with 3.

Q. Isobath: refers to lines connecting points of equal depth in water bodies, which is closely related to groundwater. Hence, Q matches with 4.

R. Isohyet: is a term used to describe lines connecting points of equal rainfall. Therefore, R matches with 1 (Rainfall).

S. Isochrone: refers to lines connecting points that have experienced a similar time period for a given process, often associated with surface runoff. Hence, S matches with 5.

T. Isobar: refers to lines of equal atmospheric pressure, so T matches with 2 (Pressure).

Thus, the correct match is: P-3, Q-4, R-1, S-5, T-2.
