General Geography SSC CGL REPORT

Explanation :

The western side of the Western Ghats rise ma- jestically to over 2500 meters above mean sea level to capture the Arabian sea branch of moisture laden southwest monsoon winds. The location of these mountain ranges is such that the South-West Mon- soon that break over the southernmost tip of the pen- insula during the last week of May, block the winds and they steadily rise against the mountain to con- dense rapidly and give copious rains on the western side. Consequently, the eastern side is typically known as the rain shadow region.

D

High temperature associated with high humidity

General Geography SSC CHSL (10+2) LDC, DEO & PA/SA REPORT
Correct Answer : D
Explanation :

The months of October-November mark a period of transition from hot rainy season to cold dry winter conditions. This period is known as Retreating Monsoon or Transition season because the southwest monsoons weaken and withdraw or retreat from In- dia. The retreat of monsoon is marked by clear skies and rise in temperature. While days are warm, nights are cool and pleasant. Owing to high temperature and high humidity, weather becomes oppressive. This phenomenon is known as October heat.

General Geography SSC Multi-Tasking Staff REPORT
Correct Answer : C
Explanation :

The southwestern summer monsoons occur from June through September. The Thar Desert and ad- joining areas of the northern and central Indian sub- continent heats up considerably during the hot sum- mers. This causes a low pressure area over the north- ern and central Indian subcontinent. To fill this void, the moisture-laden winds from the Indian Ocean rush in to the subcontinent.

The retreat of the Monsoon which generally oc- curs between September and November brings with it another peak in cyclone origination, noted for its predilection toward violent cyclone strikes. The cy- clones develop in the Bay of Bengal and move from the northeast to the southwest, causing heavy rain- fall and loss of life and property in Andhra Pradesh, Odisha and West Bengal. Tamil Nadu receives heavy rainfall from these winds as the retreating monsoon winds are moisture laden.

A

5th June

B

15th June

C

1st July

D

15th July

General Geography SSC Section Officer REPORT
Correct Answer : D
Explanation :

Derived from the Arabic word `mausam`, monsoon implies a seasonal reversal in wind direction. These changes lead to changes in the seasonal distribution of rainfall and temperature. Although the Andaman & Nicobar Islands receive monsoon as early as mid-May, the southwest monsoon enters the subcontinent’s mainland through the Kerala coast. The monsoon then gets divided into two parts: the Arabian Sea branch and the Bay of Bengal branch. It normally reaches Mangalore on the west coast and Vishakhapatnam on the east coast within four days. Both the branches move to reach Mumbai and Kolkata on average between June 10 and 13. The monsoon crosses Varanasi, Ahmedabad and Bhopal by June 15. Agra has to wait for another five days and Delhi by June 29. The two branches merge over Punjab and Himachal. By mid-July the southwest monsoon engulfs the entire subcontinent.

General Geography SSC CPO Sub-Inspector REPORT
Correct Answer : B
Explanation :

Rainfall distribution in India is uneven. Areas of Inadequate Rainfall (it implies rainfall less than 50 cm a year): There are basically two belts that receive inadequate rainfall. These belts are of small extent and some parts of these belts receive exceptionally very low rainfall. Like for instance, the Karakoram Mountains and area lying to the north of the Zanskar Himalaya range. This region is situated in the north of the Himalayas. It, therefore, receives little rainfall during the summer monsoon rainy season. Further, a little rainfall is also caused in the months of January, February and March by the westerly depressions.

B

C

D

General Geography SSC Section Officer REPORT
Correct Answer : B
Explanation :

India’s geography and geology are climatically piv- otal: the Thar Desert in the northwest and the Hima- layas in the north work in tandem to effect a cultur- ally and economically break-all monsoonal regime. As Earth’s highest and most massive mountain range, the Himalayan system bars the influx of frigid ka- tabatic winds from the icy Tibetan Plateau and northerly Central Asia. Most of North India is thus kept warm or is only mildly chilly or cold during winter; the same thermal dam keeps most regions in India hot in summer. Ocean current do not any role in the climate of India.

C

the monsoon fails to reach this area

D

the winds do not come across any barriers to cause the necessary uplift to cool the wind

General Geography SSC Statistical Investigators Grade–IV REPORT
Correct Answer : D
Explanation :

Rainfall decreases as winds move westwards up the Ganga Plains. Rajasthan receives very little rain as it lies in the rain-shadow of the Aravali Hills. The climate of Rajasthan varies greatly throughout the state. It is very hot and dry in summer in the desert areas, where dust storms also occur, while it is very cold during the winters. To the west of the Aravali range, the weather is characterized by low rainfall with erratic distribution, extremes of diurnal and an- nual temperatures, low humidity and high wind ve- locity. While in the east of the Aravali range, the weath- er is characterized by relatively low wind velocity and high humidity with better rainfall.

Sideways form of erosion is called lateral erosion. In lateral erosion, the river erodes away at its banks and widens the river channel. Together, vertical and lateral erosion create the distinctive V-shaped valley that is found in rivers in their upper course. As the river gets closer to the sea, there is more lateral ero- sion than vertical erosion and the V flattens out into a much wider shape.

General Geography SSC Section Officer REPORT
Correct Answer : C
Explanation :

Most of the west flowing rivers of Indian peninsula do not form delta. They form estuary. Narmada is one of them. It is so because rocky terrain of the Western Ghats does not allow the rivers to spread out much, and there is not sufficient plain stretch of land between the Arabian sea and Western Ghats for Narmada to slowdown and bifurcate into distributaries. Narmada forms an estuary of 21 km at the Gulf of Khambat. The river is presently partially navigable in the estuary reach around Bharuch but the river has never been a transport artery.

General Geography SSC Section Officer REPORT
Correct Answer : B
Explanation :

Canal is the second largest source of irrigation providing water to 29.24 percent of the net area under irrigation. The country has one of the world’s largest canal systems stretching over more than one lakh kilometres. Well Irrigation is a principal method of irrigation used in India. Underground water is tapped for drinking purposes and at the same time it is also tapped for irrigating the cultivated land. For implementation of this procedure, a hole is dug in the ground for providing perennial supply of soft water. Well irrigation is definitely more popular in those regions where ground water is in plenty and where there are very few canals.
