Question

Which of the following statements is/are correct?
Statement 1: The Peninsular India has a well-defined cold weather season.
Statement 2: There is hardly any seasonal change in the distribution pattern of the temperature in coastal areas of India.

A.

Both statement 1 and statement 2 are correct.

B.

Statement 1 is correct, while statement 2 is incorrect.

C.

Statement 2 is correct, while statement 1 is incorrect.

D.

Neither statement 1 nor statement 2 is correct.

Correct option is C

The correct answer is: (c) Statement 2 is correct, while statement 1 is incorrect.
Explanation:
Coastal areas experience very little seasonal change in temperature distribution. This is due to the influence of the sea, which moderates the temperature, resulting in less variation between summer and winter temperatures.
Information Booster:
  • Peninsular India lies in the tropical zone and is influenced by maritime climate.

  • Cold weather season (winter) is more prominent in North and Central India, not in the Peninsula.

  • Inland areas like Delhi or Rajasthan experience extreme temperatures between seasons.

  • This temperature moderation in coastal areas is known as the marine effect or oceanic influence.

  • Monsoon season is the most significant in terms of variation across all Indian regions.
