D. Occluded front
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
A cold front is the boundary between a cold air mass and a warm air mass, where the cold air pushes under the warm air, causing rapid temperature drops, heavy rain, and strong winds.
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:
The rain shadow region of the Eastern Ghats receives low rainfall because the mountains block the moisture-laden winds from the Bay of Bengal.
