In order to understand the meaning of the word "indigenous" , we have to break the word as

Indi + gen + ous

Here "Gen" means birth (like genesis: generation of something)

"Ous" means bearing some properties related to something

like marvelous : having property known as marvel.

Thus indigenous means having property of place where birth was taken

Thus it is originating in a particular region

The word root "gen" means "birth," and the suffix "-ous" means "having the quality of something."

Which of the following regarding atmospheric pressure is true?

butalik [34]

Answer:

1- Option (A)

2- Option (A)

Explanation:

The pressure is often defined as the force per unit area. In the atmosphere, the pressure is maximum at the troposphere and is tightly packed near the ground surface. The troposphere is the region where the temperature decreases with the increasing height. The atmospheric pressure at sea level is nearly 1013.2 millibar (mb). The difference in the pressure in this layer causes the wind that is responsible for the occurrence of different types of weather patterns.

The earth and the sun maintains the shortest distance at its Perihelion position, which takes place in the month of January during the winter season in the northern hemisphere. And on the other hand, the earth is far away from the sun at its Aphelion position that takes place in the month of July.

Hence, the correct answers are given above.
