The reason for Rajasthan being deficient in rainfall is _________.

A
The monsoon fail to reach this area

B
It is too hot

C
There is no water available and thus the winds remain dry

D
The winds do not come across any barrier to cause necessary uplift to be cooled

Solution

The winds do not come across any barrier to cause necessary uplift to be cooled
Because of its geographical location, Rajasthan receives scanty rainfall. We know about the southwestern monsoon which is the main cause of rainfall in most parts of India. This southwestern monsoon comes from the southwestern part of India from the Arabian Sea and goes in the same direction and strikes the northeast mountains of India. Then its direction changes towards the northwest and while it reaches Rajasthan it gets all its moisture off on the way. Whatever moisture it contains is drained in the eastern part of the Aravalli range which is located in the opposite direction of these winds
Question 2

The temperature of Thiruvananthapuram is lower than that of Mumbai in May and higher than that of Mumbai in January because of _______.

A
Thiruvananthapuram has cold current and Mumbai is faced with warm current

B
Thiruvananthapuram has higher rainfall in summer and it is nearer to the equator

C
Thiruvananthapuram is on the windward side and Mumbai is on the leeward side

D
Thiruvananthapuram is Vegetated while Mumbai is not

Solution

Thiruvananthapuram has higher rainfall in summer compared to Mumbai which accounts for the lower temperature of Thiruvananthapuram. in summer. In January, it is winter season in India. Thus Temperature in Mumbai is lower compared to Thiruvananthapuram as Thiruvananthapuram is close to the equator.

In May-June each year, the monsoon winds approach the southern tip of India from South-westerly direction because winds blow from high to low pressure, warm moisture-laden air moves south-westerly direction from the sea over to India in the north and North East and is deflected by the Coriolis force as the Earth spins. It is this moist air current which is popularly known as the south-west monsoon.

How do dust storms in summer affect the temperature?

A
Increase it

B
Decrease it

C
No effect

D
Cannot say

Solution

Decreases it,
Dust storms occur most frequently over deserts and regions of dry soil, where particles of dirt are loosely bound to the surface. Dust storms in summer decrease the temperature.
This is similar to the effect of a rain cloud passing overhead, which can cause a drop in temperature in response to the diminished sunlight. However, in some regions, the atmosphere adjusts to this cooling by bringing heat from surrounding warmer regions, returning the temperature to its original value.
Question 6
1 / -0

Among the following regions of India, which one receives comparatively least amount of annual rainfall?

A
An $$80$$km wide coastal belt from Nellore to Point Calimere
