9. Seasonal temperature variations are caused by
10. Assertion (A): In middle and high latitudes, insolation values over the ocean, as compared to those at the same latitude over the land, are generally higher. Reason (R): Greater cloudiness over land surfaces accounts for this variation. Codes

23. Consider the following conditions for the formation of temperature inversion:
1. Cloudy sky
2. Strong winds
3. Long winter nights
4. Cold dry air Which of the above conditions are ideal?
24. What happens when water is condensed into ice?
25. Assertion (A): When temperature is held constant, the density of a gas is proportional to pressure, and volume is inversely proportional to pressure. Reason (R): An increase in pressure will cause an increase in density of the gas and a decrease in its volume. Codes
