South-east Asia, Central and Southern China, the Philippines, Japan, northern parts of India are the regions of _________.

asia : climate, natural vegetation and wildlife climate and natural vegetation of asia asia asia and europe geography

  1. moderate Rainfall

  2. low Rainfall

  3. Both A and B

  4. None of these

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

South-east Asia, Central and Southern China, the Philippines, Japan, northern parts of India are the regions of  Moderate Rainfall.


It is a vast region in southern and southeastern Asia encompassing nearly all the territory north of 10° north and south of the Tropic of Cancer—from the Indus-Ganga low­lands to the Indo-Chinese peninsula (Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos) and Myanmar and Thailand.

The North Indian plains are practically tropical in climate although they actually lie in the Temperate Zone. Typically monsoonal conditions—sea­sonal reversal of wind systems and associated rainfall regimes—prevail.

It is impor­tant to emphasize here that the summer monsoons in India owe their origin to the pressure and wind systems in the equato­rial zone. During summer the southeast winds are sucked to the low-pressure area in western India and the moist winds from the Indian Ocean cause the onset of rain bearing summer monsoons.

Monsoon winds influence a large extent of ___________.

asia : climate, natural vegetation and wildlife climate and natural vegetation of asia asia asia and europe geography

  1. Eastern Asia

  2. Southern Asia

  3. Western Asia

  4. Northern Asia

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Monsoon winds influence a large extent of Southern Asia.

The monsoons usually happen due to the differential heating of land and water. You probably know that land heats faster than water. This change in heating leads to a difference in pressures, which in turn leads to currents. Thus, the changes in pressure conditions also affect the monsoons. Normally, there is high pressure in the tropical eastern-south Pacific Ocean and low pressure in the tropical eastern Indian Ocean. But as years have gone by, there has been a reversal in the pressure conditions. Therefore, the eastern Pacific has lower pressure. This periodic change in pressure conditions is known as Southern Oscillations or SO.

Asian continent experience climatic extremes due to _______.

  2. large coast lines

  3. Both a and b

  4. None of these

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:
Asian continent experience climatic extremes due to Large extent of the continent and large coastlines.
Asia is the largest continent of the earth, that’s why it has regions of a wide variety of climates; some of the coldest, hottest, wettest and some of the driest places on earth.
Factors that influence climate, are latitudes, distance from the sea, monsoon winds, the direction of mountain ranges, and ocean currents.
A large part of Asia lies more than 1500 km away from the sea. The interior parts of the continent experience extremes of temperature.
Monsoon winds shed their moisture to the south of the Himalayas and mountains of Central Asia.
Ocean currents act much like a conveyer belt, transporting warm water and precipitation from the equator toward the poles and cold water from the poles back to the tropics.

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Both a and b


There is very little vegetation within the desert due to the lack of rainfall. Vegetation will be very sparse and plants will cluster in areas where the growing conditions are slightly better.

Vegetation found within deserts is highly adapted to the extreme conditions found in these locations. Many plants are low-growing so that they can avoid water loss as their surface area is smaller. They also have small thick leaves or needles, like cacti, this means that less water is lost through evapotranspiration. Cacti also have a thick stem which can be used to store water, they can expand and store water during times of rainfall. Many plants also have long roots which travel horizontally to reach the maximum surface areas for water to find any surface moisture.

asia : climate, natural vegetation and wildlife climate and natural vegetation of asia asia asia and europe geography

  1. True

  2. False

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Yes.
The biggest factor in differences in the climate in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres has to do with the distribution of land vs. ocean. The Northern Hemisphere has much more of Earth’s land masses, while the Southern Hemisphere has a larger fraction of ocean.

There is more than one reason this is important. First, land and ocean heat and cool at different rates. Land heats up and cools down much faster (over a period of a day) compared with ocean (over a period of months).

Steppes or Temperate Grassland climate is found around the ___________.

asia : climate, natural vegetation and wildlife climate and natural vegetation of asia asia asia and europe geography

  1. Caspian Sea in Western Asia

  2. Caspian Sea in Eastern Asia

  3. Caspian Sea in South Asia

  4. None of these

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Steppes or Temperate Grassland climate is found around the Caspian sea in Western Asia.
Grasslands (steppes) are temperate environments, with warm to hot summers and cool to very cold winters; temperatures are often extreme in these midcontinental areas. They are often located between temperate forests and deserts, and annual precipitation falls between the amounts characteristic of those zones.
