In the Southern Hemisphere, winds around a low-pressure system circulate:
A. Clockwise
B. Straight
C. Counterclockwise
D. Upward
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
In the Southern Hemisphere, winds around a low-pressure system circulate clockwise (opposite to the Northern Hemisphere) due to the Coriolis force deflecting winds to the left.
Explanation:
Tundra climates (Köppen ET) are characterized by permafrost (permanently frozen ground) and low-growing vegetation such as mosses, lichens, and shrubs. Trees are absent due to the short growing season.
Explanation:
The Antarctic climate is extremely cold year-round, with the lowest temperatures ever recorded on Earth, and very low precipitation, making it a cold desert.
Explanation:
The troposphere is characterized by decreasing temperature with altitude (normal lapse rate) due to adiabatic cooling, and it contains most of the weather phenomena.
