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.
