    Solution
    Zaskar range, located in the northern part of the Great Himalayan Range, bifurcates the Ladakh and Zaskar region. Thus, the range forms a climatic barrier between these regions. It does not allow the monsoon winds to reach North-eastern Ladakh eventually retaining a majority of the rainfall.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    The word monsoon has been derived from which word?
    Solution
    Mausim,
    The word “monsoon” comes from the Arabic word mausim, meaning season. Basically, it describes a seasonal wind shift over a region that is usually accompanied by a dramatic increase in precipitation. Many of us are familiar with the Indian-Asian monsoon that brings heavy rains during the summer months over widespread areas of India and SE Asia. Although these rains often produce major flooding, they are vital to agriculture and the economy. Because so much of the world’s population live in this region, a delayed or reduced rainfall season can have a devastating effect on the livelihood of a significant fraction of the world’s population.

    (c) The delta region of the eastern coast is frequently strucked with cyclones.
    (d) The speed of jet streams increases during winter.
    Which of the statements given is/are correct?
    Solution
    (A) Since rainfall decrease from east to west in northern India because of the progressive decrease in the humidity of the winds. As the moisture-bearing winds of the Bay of Bengal branch move further and further island, they exhaust most of the moisture they carry along with them. This consequently leads to a gradual decrease.
    (B) Coromandel coast receives its rain during the winter season because the northeast monsoon picks up moisture from the Bay of Bengal while moving to the south due to low pressure.
    (C) The delta region of the eastern coast is frequently struck by cyclones because the cyclonic depressions which originate over the Andaman Sea generally cross the Eastern coasts of India and cause heavy and widespread rain. These cyclones are often very destructive. The thickly populated deltas of the Godavari, the Krishna and the Kaveri are frequently struck by cyclones which cause great damage to life and property. Sometimes these cyclones arrive at the coasts of Odisha, West Bengal, and Bangladesh.
    (D) Jet streams are faster in the winter season due to temperature differences in the northern and southern hemispheres. Their speed increase from 125 KMPH to 443 KMPH

    Therefore, the correct answer is the option (D).
