Which of the following is a major factor in the formation of the Australian monsoon?
A. Land-sea temperature contrast
B. All of the above
C. El Niño
D. Sea surface temperature differences
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
The Australian monsoon is influenced by sea surface temperature differences, land-sea temperature contrast (the Australian landmass warming in summer), and El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) effects.
Explanation:
The Arctic Oscillation is a large-scale pattern of sea level pressure differences between the Arctic and the rest of the Northern Hemisphere.
Explanation:
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:
The greenhouse effect is the natural process by which certain gases in the atmosphere (greenhouse gases) trap outgoing longwave radiation, warming the Earth's surface and making it habitable.
