Question 1.
What does PET stand for?
Show hintHide hint
It refers to the maximum possible moisture loss.
Question 2.
Which states in India typically have a high PET?
Show hintHide hint
Think of areas with less rainfall.
3Question 3.
What is the typical PET range in arid regions of India?
- 600-800 mm/year
- 1400-1800 mm/year
- 900-1200 mm/year
Show hintHide hint
Think about states known for dry conditions.
4Question 4.
AET is generally:
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Remember the real-world constraints affecting evaporation.
Question 5.
Calculate the expected AET for a region where PET is 1600 mm/year, considering lower soil moisture due to drought conditions.
Show hintHide hint
Start by calculating the percentage reduction based on the condition.
Question 6.
Discuss the implications of differing PET values in arid versus humid regions on local agricultural practices.
Show hintHide hint
Think about how a farmer would adapt their strategies based on these values.
