A thermometer records the following maximum and minimum temperature readings for Jaipur, Rajasthan, over a week. Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat Maximum temperature 30 °C 32 °C 34 °C 28 °C 22 °C 25 °C 30 °C Minimum temperature 14 °C 17 °C 20 °C 15 °C 13 °C 11 °C 18 °C On which day did the greatest difference between maximum and minimum temperatures occur?

Weather is the state of the atmospheric conditions based on factors like temperature, rainfall, and humidity in a particular area. Since the difference between 30 and 14 is higher compared to other values, we can say that the greatest difference between the maximum and minimum temperatures occur on Sunday. The difference in the maximum and minimum temperature on this day is 16 °C.

Match the following: a) Rainfall i) Trunk b) Penguin ii) Rain gauge c) Long, padded feet iii) Seal d) Elephant iv) Camel e) Polar region v) Flippers

a - ii The chances of rainfall in a region can be predicted by the relative humidity of that place. Rainfall is the water that falls from the atmosphere to the Earth's surface. The amount of rainfall can be measured with the help of an instrument called the rain gauge. b - v The penguin is found mostly in the Antarctic region. The penguin has a thick layer of blubber. Flippers help penguins to swim smoothly in the water. c - iv The camels are found in the desert regions. The hump of the camel has fats stored in it that help it to survive without food for a long time. Long and padded feet of camel helps them walk comfortably on sand without sinking. d - i Asian elephants are found in rainforests of south-east Asia. The upper lips of elephants are fused with the nose and are modified in the form of a long trunk. Elephants develop modified teeth called tusks. e - iii Seals are inhabited to live in polar regions. Seals have sensitive whiskers that can sense slight changes in the water current. Hence, the matching answer is the following. a) Rainfall ii) Rain gauge b) Penguin v) Flippers c) Long, padded feet iv) Camel d) Elephant i) Trunk e) Polar region iii) Seal

Use different colours to indicate maximum and minimum temperatures and indicate the colour key next to the graph.

The temperature of air measured using a maximum-minimum thermometer can be used to show the difference in temperature over a period of time, usually one day. The difference between the daily maximum and the daily minimum is called the diurnal range. The above graph shows the maximum and minimum temperatures of Jaipur for over a week. The minimum temperature is recorded on Friday, while the maximum temperature is recorded on Tuesday. The maximum difference in the minimum and maximum temperature is recorded on Sunday.
