D. Sirocco
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
The Loo is a strong, hot, dry summer wind that blows over the northern plains of India, particularly in Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan, causing high temperatures and heat exhaustion.
Explanation:
Advection fog forms when warm, moist air moves over a colder surface (like a cool ocean or snow-covered ground), cooling the air to its dew point and causing condensation.
Explanation:
Surface winds blow at an angle to isobars (towards lower pressure) due to friction with the Earth's surface, which reduces the Coriolis force.
