C. An extratropical storm that brings rainfall to northern India
D. A tropical cyclone in the Arabian Sea
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Western Disturbances are extratropical storms originating over the Mediterranean Sea and moving eastward, bringing winter rainfall and snowfall to the northern parts of India, especially the Himalayas.
Explanation:
The southwest monsoon is not a dry wind; it is moisture-laden. It brings the majority of rainfall to India from June to September and is essential for agriculture.
Explanation:
Fresh snow has the highest albedo among these surfaces, reflecting about 80-90% of incoming solar radiation. Oceans and forests have low albedo, absorbing most solar energy.
