Answer 1

Answer: (D)

All of the above

Hydrosphere is all the waters on the earth's surface, such as lakes and seas, and sometimes including water over the earth's surface, such as clouds.

Winds blowing over a warm current become warm and at the same time, pick up moisture, as warm winds are able to retain more moisture. Thus, the wind that reaches the land brings down the temperature and causes heavy rainfall.

Winds blowing over a cold and dry. They help to bring down the temperatures in places, which would have been much hotter. Such winds are bereft of any moisture and bring little or no rainfall over the coastal regions where they blow.
