Which of the following is/are results of Western Disturbances?
1. Rainfall in Northeastern states.
2. Heavy snowfall in the Himalayan Region.
3. An abrupt decrease in air temperature over North-West India.
Select the correct answer using the code given below:
Right Answer: D
Exp:
• The Western Disturbances are visiting storms or low-pressure areas originate in the Mediterranean region, other parts of Europe and the Atlantic Ocean. These winds are disturbed within a low-pressure area and come from a westward direction with respect to India, hence the name western disturbance.
• Western Disturbances develop in the mid-latitude region (north of the Tropic of Cancer), not in the tropical region, therefore they are called as mid-latitude storms or extra-tropical storms.
• The inflow of western disturbances moves under the influence of westerly jet streams from the Mediterranean Sea. It influences winter weather conditions over most parts of the Northern Plains and Western Himalayan region. It brings little rain inwinter months. This rain is considered to be very good for wheat crops in northern plains. Weak western disturbances are associated with crop failure and water problems across north India.
• As per IMD, this year the Western Disturbance caused rainfall in Northeastern states.

Consider the following statements:
1. The Tropical Marine Climate is more prone to severe tropical cyclones comparing to the Tropical Monsoon climate.
2. The Tropical Monsoon climate has a more evenly distributed rainfall than the Tropical Marine Climate.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Exp:
• Statement 1 is correct. In areas of Tropical Marine climate, the rainfall is both orographic where the moist trades meet upland masses as in eastern Brazil, and convectional due to intense heating during the day and in summer. Its tendency is towards a summer maximum without any distinct dry period. Due to the steady influence of the trade winds, the Tropical Marine Climate is more favourable for habitation, but it is prone to severe tropical cyclones, hurricanes or typhoons.
• Statement 2 is incorrect. The Tropical Marine Climate is experienced along the eastern coast of tropical lands such as in Central America, West Indies, north-eastern Australia, the Philippines, parts of East Africa, Madagascar, the Guinea Coast and eastern Brazil. In these areas, the climate is modified by the influence of the on-shore (sea to land) Trade Winds all year-round. Such a climate has a more evenly distributed rainfall. Which is absent in the Tropical Monsoon climate.
• On-shore [sea to land] tropical monsoons occur in the summer and off-shore [land to sea] dry monsoons in the winter.

With reference to Deccan plateau, consider the following statements:
1. The Eastern Ghats is not a part of it.
2. The black soil area in the Deccan plateau is known as the Deccan trap.
3. The Deccan Plateau is separated from the central highlands by the Godavari River.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Exp:
• Statement 1 is incorrect. The Deccan plateau is broadly divided into (a) The Western Ghats and (b) The Eastern Ghats.
• Statements 2 is correct. The black soil area in the Deccan plateau is known as the Deccan trap. It is formed due to volcanic eruptions. This soil is good for cotton and sugarcane cultivation.
• Statement 3 is incorrect. The Peninsular Plateau is a triangular-shaped table land. The River Narmada divides the peninsular plateau into two parts. They are the central highlands and Deccan Plateau.

Lumbering is an important occupation in cool temperate continental climate because
1. Presence of a huge variety of trees in the forests.
2. Feeling and transportation are very easy in this region.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
• Statement 1 is incorrect. The conifers are limited in species. Pine, spruce, and fir are the most important in the northern forests, while larch is more predominant in the warmer south. They occur in homogeneous groups and not mixed as in the tropical forests. This' not only saves time and costs, but also enhances the commercial value of the felled timber.
• Statement 2 is correct. Lumbering is normally earned out in the winter when the sap ceases to flow. This makes felling much simpler. The snow-covered ground also makes logging and haulage a relatively easy job. The logs are dragged to the rivers and float to the saw-mills downstream when the rivers thaw in spring.
