Solution
The correct option is C All the above
The
climate and weather conditions in India are governed by:
Pressure
and surface winds: a low-pressure system draws winds towards it from a
region of high pressure resulting in rainfall.
Coriolis force and upper air
circulation: The
low-pressure land system attracts southeast trade winds. After crossing
equator winds turn right de to Coriolis force and are directed towards the low-pressure
areas over the Indian subcontinent. These winds start blowing in a
southwesterly direction and enter the Indian peninsula as the southwest
monsoon.
Western cyclonic disturbances: Bring winter rainfall to India.
