Which among the following is/are the major factor/factors responsible for the monsoon type of climate in India?

1. Location

2. Thermal contrast

3. Upper air circulation

4. Inter-tropical convergence zone

  • A.I
  • B.II, III
  • C.II, III and IV
  • D.I, II, III and IV

Answer: D

All four factors are responsible.

India's location astride the Tropic of Cancer between a great landmass and a great ocean, the differential heating of land and sea that reverses the pressure gradient with the seasons, the upper-air jet stream whose seasonal shift triggers the burst of the monsoon, and the movement of the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone all combine to produce the monsoon regime.
