    The wind blowing in the northern plains in summer is known as Loo. Loo is a strong, hot and dry summer afternoon wind from the west which blows over the western Indo-Gangetic Plain region of North India and Pakistan. It is especially strong in the months of May and June. Due to its very high temperatures, exposure to it may lead to heatstrokes. Due to its extremely low humidity and high temperatures, the Loo also has a severe drying effect on vegetation leading to widespread browning in the areas affected by it during the months of May and June.

    • Dense fog is seen during winter in the northern India. The reason for fog in North India is entirely because of a weather system called Western Disturbance.
    • This is the sudden reversal of dry and cool north westerly to humid easterlies or south easterlies which could cause widespread of fog in the plains of North India.
    • As the winds are calm and slow with the speed below 5 km ph in the northern India during this season, the fog settles and continues to stay throughout.

  • Question 9

    Solution
    A Western disturbance is an extratropical storm originating in the Mediterranean region that brings sudden winter rain to the northwestern parts of the Indian subcontinent.

  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Which of the following was characteristic of the physical environments of early river-valley civilizations in the Near East?
    Solution
    Early River Valley Civilizations
    Homo sapiens, our species, evolved in Africa somewhere between 100,000 and 200,000 years ago. For tens of thousands of years, human populations existed in nomadic bands of hunter-gatherers that steadily spread across the world. Then, between 8,000 and 5,000 BCE, some of these groups went and did something rather strange. They stopped moving around. In what archeologists call the Neolithic Revolution, human groups across the world developed settled societies that relied on intensive agricultural practices. The first societies were often found near rivers, which provided the water, security, and other resources needed to make the move from hunting to farming. We call these societies the early river valley civilizations. The rainfall in these regions was low. Thus these early civilizations developed irrigation techniques to utilize the river water.
