  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    The climate and weather conditions in India are governed by __________.
    Solution

    The climate and weather conditions in India are governed by: 

    • Pressure and surface winds: a low-pressure system draws winds towards it from a region of high pressure resulting in rainfall.
    • Coriolis force and upper air circulation:  The low-pressure land system attracts southeast trade winds. After crossing equator winds turn right de to Coriolis force and are directed towards the low-pressure areas over the Indian subcontinent. These winds start blowing in a southwesterly direction and enter the Indian peninsula as the southwest monsoon.  
    • Western cyclonic disturbances: Bring winter rainfall to India.

  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Which group of the states is associated with mango showers?
    Solution

    • Mango showers are the rains that include light showers to heavy rains with thunders. These are due to the thunderstorm developed in the Bay of Bengal. These result in falling apart of mangoes from trees.
    • Mango showers are common especially, in Kerala, Karnataka coasts.

  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    In December, the winter season exists in the ________.
    Solution

    • Annual cycle of seasons is caused due to earth’s tilt. During the revolution, if the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun it experiences summer and the other hemisphere experiences winter and vice versa.
    • In December towards the north of the equator winter season exists, as the southern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun.

  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    India experiences summer season from _________.
    Solution

    • Hot weather season is also referred to as summer season that lasts from March to May.
    • Warm weather season in India is characterized by warm days and warm nights.
    • In India may is the hottest month. Average temperature in India during this season ranges from 32–40 °C.

  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Palar Pani means __________.
    Solution
    The Palar Pani is a term referred to the rainwater in the desert regions of Rajasthan, which is regarded as the purified form of natural water. This water in the region is perceived value and thus the conservation of this water takes place underground. People of Rajasthan usually consume this water during the summer season when all the reservoirs dry. 
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    What is the main cause of water scarcity?
    Solution
    The Water scarcity is mostly man made due to excess population growth and mismanagement of water resources. Also rainfall is another factor for water scarcity because less rainfall means less water, and excessive rains cause flodding and which brings all sorts of debris and destroy water treatment installations.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Indian experiences__________.
    Solution
    India experiences Tropical Monsoon Climate. The climate of India is strongly influenced by monsoon winds. A 'tropical monsoon climate' results from the monsoon winds, which change direction according to the seasons.This type of climate has high temperature almost throughout the year. This climate has the driest month occurring near the winter solstice.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    The area with annual rainfall less than 50 cm in a year is _______.
    Solution
    Areas receiving rainfall "less than 50 cm" in India are regions of "Western Rajasthan, Northern Kashmir, Deccan Plateau, and Punjab". Rainfall is especially very scanty in the Rajasthan region due to various factors like lack of any orographic barriers in the region that can make use of the south-west monsoons. Other reasons for lack of precipitation include the "Bay of Bengal" branch of monsoon becomes dry as it crosses and makes its way to Rajasthan and surrounding areas after crossing the northern plains . It also does not receive any rain from the cyclonic storms in states like Andhra, Tamil Nadu, etc because of its geographical location that is far away from these states.  Also, the climate of these states is dry and arid that increases the "moisture holding capacity" of the rain bearing winds and thus, no rainfall. 
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    The climate of India is tropical because of __________________.
    Solution
    The Himalayas prevent the cold winds from Central Asia from entering the subcontinent. It is because of these mountains that this subcontinent experiences comparatively milder winters as compared to central Asia. It also forms a barrier for the rain bearing south-west monsoon winds, keeping them from traveling northwards, and causing heavy rainfall in the Terai region.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    The coldest hour of the day is approximately ______.
    Solution

    5 a.m.

    The coldest time of day can shift considerably if we have fronts moving through, varying winds and cloud cover or precipitation starting and stopping during the night or morning. However, assuming we have a more tranquil pattern, as we frequently do, with fair skies and light winds late at night and early in the day, the lowest temperature usually occurs a little after sunrise, sometimes as much as a half hour to an hour later.
