Which of the following is the primary reason for the cold climate of the polar regions?
A. Ocean currents
B. Distance from the sea
C. High altitude
D. Low angle of solar radiation
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
The polar regions receive low-angle solar radiation, spreading sunlight over a large area and reducing the energy per unit area, resulting in extremely cold temperatures year-round.
Explanation:
The stratosphere is the layer of the atmosphere that contains the ozone layer, which absorbs most of the Sun's harmful ultraviolet radiation.
Explanation:
October Heat is caused by clear skies (intense solar radiation) and high humidity (from residual monsoon moisture) creating oppressive heat.
Explanation:
The Madden-Julian Oscillation is a large-scale pattern of convection (thunderstorm activity) that originates over the Indian Ocean and moves eastward across the Pacific, influencing weather patterns globally.
