Q.

What are monsoon winds?

Q. What are jet streams?

1. High velocity winds that blow in the upper troposphere at an altitude of around 12, 000 metres.
2. High velocity winds that blow in the stratosphere at an altitude of around 12, 000 metres.
3. Low velocity winds that blow in the upper troposphere at an altitude of around 12, 000 metres.
4. Low velocity winds that blow in the stratosphere at an altitude of around 12, 000 metres.

Q. What is the full form of ITCZ?

1. Intertropical Convergence Zone
2. Intratropical Convergence Zone
3. Intratemperate Convergence Zone
4. Intertemperate Convergence Zone

Q. What causes the deflection of wind to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere?

1. Tyndall effect
2. Coriolis effect
3. Earth's spherical shape
4. Hypersonic effect

Q. <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> From the following, identify the two reversal of winds that occur in the Indian Subcontinent.

1. Northeast trade winds replaced by the southwest monsoon winds.
2. The southwest monsoon winds replaced by the northeast trade winds.
3. The southwest monsoon winds replaced by the southeast trade winds.
4. Northeast trade winds replaced by the southeast monsoon winds.

Q. I am responsible for deflecting winds towards the right in the northern hemisphere and towards the left in the southern hemisphere. Who am I?

1. Gravitational force
2. Centripetal force
3. Centrifugal force
4. Coriolis force

Q. From the following options, select the factors that cause monsoon in India:

1. Heating of the Deccan plateau
2. Formation of low pressure over Indian subcontinent
3. Motion of the sun
4. Shifting of ITCZ

Q. The monsoon winds blow during which months in India?

1. August to December
2. June to July
3. July to December
4. June to September

Q. Why are monsoon winds generated?

1. Due to the revolution of the Earth.
2. Due to the even heating of land and water in different seasons.
3. Due to the uneven heating of land and water in the different seasons.
4. Due to the rotation of the Earth.

Q. Choose the correct statement with respect to "Monsoon Trough": S1: It is a zone of low pressure located just below the ITCZ in summer in India; S2: ITCZ helps in attracting the southwest monsoon to the Indian Subcontinent.

1. S1
2. S2
3. S1 and S2
4. Neither S1 nor S2

Q. <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> What attracts the southeast trade winds to Indian subcontinent from the Southern Hemisphere?

1. Low pressure zone of the monsoon trough over the Ganga Plains.
2. High pressure zone of the monsoon trough over the Ganga Plains.
3. Low pressure zone of the monsoon trough over the Brahmaputra plains.
4. High pressure zone of the monsoon trough over the Brahmaputra plains.

Q. Monsoon winds coming from the Southwest in India carry moisture from which ocean?

1. Indian Ocean
2. Pacific Ocean

1. How wind direction is affected by Earth’s rotation
2. How wind direction is affected by Earth’s temperature
3. How wind direction is affected by Earth’s humidity
4. How wind direction is affected by Earth’s precipitation

Q. Why are monsoon winds generated?

1. Due to the revolution of the Earth.
2. Due to the even heating of land and water in different seasons.
3. Due to the uneven heating of land and water in the different seasons.
4. Due to the rotation of the Earth.
