Which of the following Köppen climate types is characterized by a tropical climate?
A. D
B. C
C. A
D. B
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
In the Köppen system, 'A' represents tropical climates (also known as wet equatorial climates), characterized by high temperatures and significant precipitation throughout the year.
Explanation:
A temperature inversion is a reversal of the normal temperature gradient in the troposphere, where temperature increases with altitude instead of decreasing. This traps pollutants and can cause fog and smog.
Explanation:
Tornadoes form in environments with strong wind shear, where there is a change in wind speed and direction with altitude, leading to rotating updrafts (mesocyclones) within thunderstorms.
Explanation:
The wet-bulb temperature is always less than or equal to the dry-bulb temperature. The difference between them is used to determine relative humidity. At 100% relative humidity, they are equal.
