Explanation:
The tropical regions receive direct (high-angle) solar radiation, concentrating sunlight over a small area and providing high energy, resulting in warm temperatures year-round.
Explanation:
Solar radiation is not a source of particulate matter. Particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10) is emitted from vehicle exhaust, industrial processes, burning of fossil fuels, construction, and natural sources like dust and smoke.
Explanation:
The Indian summer monsoon is strongly influenced by the northward shift of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) over the Indian subcontinent, drawing in moisture-laden winds from the Indian Ocean.
