Which of the following is the primary factor in the formation of the Indian monsoon?
A. Land-sea temperature contrast
B. All of the above
C. ITCZ
D. El Niño
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
The Indian monsoon is influenced by multiple factors, including El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), the land-sea temperature contrast (which creates a thermal low over Asia), and the movement of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ).
Explanation:
The Hadley cell is a large-scale atmospheric circulation pattern where air rises at the equator, flows poleward, and sinks at the subtropics.
Explanation:
October Heat is caused by clear skies (intense solar radiation) and high humidity (from residual monsoon moisture) creating oppressive heat.
