Which of the following is a major factor in the onset of the Indian monsoon?
A. The strengthening of the polar vortex
B. The cooling of the Indian Ocean
C. The heating of the Tibetan Plateau
D. The weakening of the jet stream
Answer: Option C

The heating of the Tibetan Plateau during the pre-monsoon season plays a crucial role in the onset of the Indian monsoon by creating a large thermal low that draws in moist air from the ocean.
Explanation:
Temperate rainforests are characterized by mild temperatures (rarely freezing) and abundant rainfall (over 2,000 mm per year), supporting dense forests with diverse species.
Explanation:
Absolute humidity is the total mass of water vapor present in a given volume of air. Relative humidity is the ratio of actual water vapor to the maximum capacity. Specific humidity is the ratio of water vapor to total air mass. Dew point is the temperature at which air becomes saturated.
