Q99 / 180 · AIIMS 2012 · Physics
Assertion : Maximum air flow due to convection does not occur at the north pole but it occurs at $30^{\circ} \mathrm{N}$Reason : There is maximum temperature difference between equator and $30^{\circ} \mathrm{N}$
- Correct answerAIf both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
- BIf both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
- CIf assertion is true but reason is false.
- DIf both assertion and reason are false.
Solution
Maximum air flow due to convection does not occur at the north pole but it occurs at $30^{\circ} \mathrm{N}$ pole because there is a maximum temperature difference between equator and $30^{\circ} \mathrm{N}$ at poles.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
