Which of the following is the primary reason for the high rainfall in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands?
A. Orographic effect
B. All of the above
C. Southwest Monsoon
D. Equatorial location
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
The Andaman and Nicobar Islands receive high rainfall due to their equatorial location, the Southwest Monsoon, and the orographic effect of the islands.
Explanation:
The North Atlantic Oscillation primarily influences the climate of Western Europe and the eastern United States and Canada, affecting temperature, precipitation, and storm tracks.
Explanation:
The heating of the Tibetan Plateau during pre-monsoon season creates a large thermal low, drawing in moisture-laden winds from the Indian Ocean, triggering the monsoon.
Explanation:
The ozone hole is primarily caused by Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and other ozone-depleting substances, which release chlorine and bromine atoms that catalyze the destruction of ozone in the stratosphere.
