Ans: The temperature, humidity, rainfall, wind-speed etc., are called the elements of the weather, that determine the weather of a place.
Q. 2. When are the maximum and minimum temperature likely to occur during the day?
Ans: The maximum temperature of the day occurs generally in the afternoon while the minimum temperature occurs generally in the early morning.
Q. 3. Fill in the blanks:

Q. 6. Following are some of the characteristics of animals:
(i) Diets heavy on fruits
Ans: Tropical rainforests.
(ii) White fur
Ans: Polar regions.
(iii) Need to migrate
Ans: Polar regions.
(iv) Loud voice
Ans: Tropical rainforests.
(v) Sticky pads on feet
Ans: Tropical rainforests.
(vi) Layer of fat under skin
Ans: Polar regions.
(vii) Wide and large paws
Ans: Polar regions.
(viii) Bright colors
Ans: Tropical rainforests.
(ix) Strong tails
Ans: Tropical regions.
(x) Long and large beak
Ans: Tropical rainforests.
For each characteristic indicate whether it is adaptation for tropical rainforests or polar regions. Do you think that some of these characteristics can be adaptations for both the regions?
Q.7. The tropical rainforests has a large population of animals. Explain why it is So.
Ans: The tropical rainforests has a hot climate because it is located around the equator. Even in cold, the temperature is higher than 15°C. Day and nights are almost equal through- out the year. An important feature of this region is tropical rainforests. Because of continuous warmth and rain, this region supports wide variety of plants and animals. Therefore, the tropical rain forests has a large population of animals.
Q. 8. Explain, with examples, why we find animals of certain kind living in particular climatic conditions.
Ans: Animals are adapted to survive in the conditions in which they live. Features and habits which help them to adapt to their surroundings are the result of evolution. So, to survive in a particular type of climate of the animals must have certain adapted features. This is the reason we find animals of certain kind living in a particular climatic conditions. For example, animals in the polar region are adapted to the extremely cold climate. They have special characteristics such as white fur, strong sense of smell, a layer of fat under the skin, wide and large paws for swimming and walking etc.
Q. 9. How do elephant living in the tropical rainforests adapt itself?
Ans: Elephants have a long trunk which is used for picking food. The tusks are used for tearing the bark of trees for eating. They have large ears which help them to keep cool in the hot and humid climate of the rainforest. These ears work like a fan.
