10. Why does the temperature in the lower thermometer in Hope's experiment remain at
4°C even after a long time?
Ans. The density of water is maximum at 4°C. Hence, it remains at the bottom. The density
goes on decreasing when the water gets cooled further. So, the lower thermometer
remains at 4°C.
I1. When an ice cube floating in a full glass of water melts, does the water overflow? Give
reason.

Ans. No, the water does not overflow because when the ice melts it occupies the same
volume as it diplaces before it melts.

12, Explain greenhouse effect.
i6. Greenhouse effect 1s the process by which the infrared radiations that reach the Earth
from the Sun get refilected back to the Earth due to certain gases like carbon dioxide in
the planet's atmosphere.
13.What are greenhouse gases? Name them.
Has, Agreenhouse gas is a gas that absorbs and emits radiant energy within the thermal
infrared range, causing the greenhouse effect. The primary greenhouse gases in Earth's
atnosphere arewater vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone.
4. What happens when the greenhouse gases in air are in excess?
Ans. When the greenhouse gases in air are in excess, the average temperature of the
atmosphere increases. It causes the glaciers to melt which raises the water level of the
0ceans and the seas that causes frequent fioods. It also causes undesirable changes in
the climate, which affect the human beings as well as the other living organisms badly
