Which of the following regions is an example of a tropical monsoon climate?
A. Indian subcontinent
B. Sahara Desert
C. Mediterranean
D. Amazon Basin
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
The Indian subcontinent (especially the west coast and northeastern regions) is a classic example of a tropical monsoon climate, with a clear wet season (summer monsoon) and dry season (winter).
Explanation:
Rain shadow deserts form when mountains block moisture-laden winds from reaching the leeward side. As air rises over the mountains, it cools and releases precipitation on the windward side, leaving the leeward side dry.
Explanation:
A positive IOD event is characterized by warmer than normal sea surface temperatures in the western Indian Ocean and cooler than normal in the east. This often leads to increased rainfall over East Africa and reduced rainfall over Indonesia and Australia.
