Which of the following is a major factor in the formation of the Madden-Julian Oscillation?
A. Sea surface temperature differences between the northern and southern Pacific
B. Convection in the Atlantic Ocean
C. Sea surface temperature differences between the western and eastern Pacific
D. Convection in the Indian and Pacific Oceans
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
The Madden-Julian Oscillation is a large-scale pattern of convection that moves eastward across the Indian and Pacific Oceans, influencing weather patterns.
Explanation:
The pressure gradient force is directly proportional to the wind speed. A stronger pressure gradient (closer isobars) results in stronger winds.
Explanation:
The thermosphere is characterized by increasing temperature with altitude due to the absorption of solar radiation, making it the hottest layer.
