Which of the following is a major factor in the formation of the West African monsoon?
A. Land-sea temperature contrast
B. All of the above
C. Sea surface temperature differences
D. ITCZ
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
The West African monsoon is driven by sea surface temperature differences in the Gulf of Guinea, land-sea temperature contrast over the Sahara, and the northward migration of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ).
Explanation:
Highland climates (or alpine climates) are characterized by large temperature variations with altitude, with cooler temperatures at higher elevations. Precipitation patterns also vary significantly with elevation.
