    उत्तर व व्याख्या देखें

    ✅ सही उत्तर: (C) This type of precipitation occurs when warm, humid air strikes on a mountain range.

    Orographic rain occurs when warm, moist air strikes a mountain range and is forced to rise, cool and condense. Option A and C describe convectional rain; option D describes monsoon rain.

    📘 सरल भाषा में (Theory): Orographic: garam nami-yukt hawa parvat se takrati hai.

    उत्तर व व्याख्या देखें

    उत्तर: (D) Intense surface heating causing air to rise

    ✅ सही उत्तर: (D) Intense surface heating causing air to rise

    Convectional rainfall is caused by intense surface heating, which makes moist air rise, cool and condense (common in equatorial regions).

    📘 सरल भाषा में (Theory): Convectional barish ka kaaran = tez surface heating se hawa ka uthna.

    ✅ सही उत्तर: (D) Tura

    Jaisalmer (Thar Desert) gets only a few cm of rain a year, while Tura in the Garo Hills of Meghalaya is among the wettest places, so a single heavy day there can equal many years of Jaisalmer’s rainfall.

    Statement 1 is wrong: jet streams are fast, narrow upper-air winds that blow mainly from the west (westerly jets); the tropical easterly jet is only a seasonal exception. Statements 2 and 3 are right: El Niño is a warm current that appears off the coast of Peru (Pacific Ocean) every few years, replacing the cold Humboldt (Peruvian) current.
