QUESTION 2
During the summer of the Indian monsoon one expects:
low pressure at the surface
low precipitation amounts
winds blowing from the land to ocean
mainly clear skies
the lowest temperatures of the year
A.outward and counterclockwise
B.inward and counterclockwise
C.inward and clockwise
D.outward and clockwise
E.anticyclones do not form in the southern hemisphere
Explanation / Answer
Answer(1): Surface winds in an anticyclone in the Southern Hemisphere flow: (A)outward and counterclockwise.
Explanation: A cyclone is a climatic phenomena in which wind storms rotates around the central zone of low atmospheric pressure. An anticyclone is also another type of climatic phenomena in which winds rotates around the central zone of high atmospheric pressure.
Now, cyclone in Northern Hemisphere- inward and anticlockwise
Cyclone in Southern Hemisphere- inward and clockwise
Anticyclone in Northern Hemisphere- outward and clockwise
Anticyclone in Southern Hemisphere- outward and anticlockwise
Answer(2): During the summer of the Indian monsoon one expects: (A) low pressure at the surface.
Explanation: Monsoonal winds mainly influence the climatic pattern of India. During summer (March-May), as the Sun moves northward so, global heat belt also shifts towards northward. As a result of this hot summer season, temperature rises in the northern part alongwith low air pressure is also prevailing in this part of the country. Thus an elongated low pressure belt is formed in india during summer season of the Indian monsoon.
