Exercises — Understanding the Weather
NCERT Exploring Society: India and Beyond (Grade 7, Part I) | Chapter 2: Understanding the Weather — End-of-Chapter Exercises
Key Terms — Quick Revision
Weather
The condition of the atmosphere at a particular place and time, defined by temperature, humidity, precipitation, wind, and atmospheric pressure.
Humidity
The amount of water vapour present in the air, measured using a hygrometer. Higher humidity makes the air feel muggy.
Atmospheric Pressure
The weight of the air above us pressing down on the Earth’s surface, measured using a barometer.
Precipitation
Water falling from the sky in any form — rain, snow, sleet, or hail — measured using a rain gauge.
NCERT Textbook Exercises

L4 AnalyseRevision — Competency-Based Questions
📚 CBQ: Weather Instruments and Prediction
Weather measurement requires specialised instruments. An Automated Weather Station (AWS) brings multiple sensors together to record temperature, humidity, wind, precipitation, and pressure without human intervention. In 2023, the National Disaster Management Authority set up an AWS at a glacial lake in Sikkim at over 4,800 metres elevation to provide early warnings about extreme weather conditions.
Q1. Why is accurate weather prediction important? List two situations where forecasts help.
L2 UnderstandQ2. Why was an AWS installed at a glacial lake in Sikkim? What weather conditions might it help predict?
L3 ApplyQ3. Analyse why different weather elements become dominant at different times of year in India.
L4 AnalyseQ4. Design a simple weather monitoring system for your school using available materials.
L6 Create⚙ Variety Question Block
True / False
1. A barometer is used to measure humidity.
FalseCorrection: A barometer measures atmospheric pressure. A hygrometer measures humidity.
2. An anemometer measures wind direction and speed.
True3. Weather and climate mean the same thing.
FalseCorrection: Weather is the condition of the atmosphere at a specific place and time. Climate is the average weather pattern over a long period.
4. Automated Weather Stations can operate without human intervention.
