  1. distinct heavy, moderate and low rainfall regions.

  2.  low rainfall regions

  3.  heavy rainfall regions

  4. None of these

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Asia has Distinct heavy moderate and low rainfall region.
Most of eastern China, North Ko­rea, South Korea, and Japan are included in this region which lies entirely north of the Tropic of Cancer. Summers get rain­fall, and winters are dry—a definite monsoonal trait. Only Taiwan, and south­ern islands of Japan including southern half of Honshu, receive rainfall in winter caused by the southeasterly winds which bring rainfall after picking up moisture on the Japan Sea, East China Sea, and the ad­joining seas. The range of temperature increases in the interiors, as the winters be­come colder and summers warmer.

  1. Japan and other islands in Asian continent

  2. Antarctica

  3. European countries

  4. America

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The Kuroshio Current is a major western boundary current controlled by the North Pacific Gyre. It brings warm subtropical waters from the Indo-Pacific Warm Pool to Japan exerting a major control on Asian climate. The Tsushima Current is a Kuroshio offshoot transporting warm water into the Japan Sea.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Areas of Heavy Rainfall gets more than 200 cm rain per year. The equatorial belt, the windward slopes of the mountains along the western coasts in the cool temperate zone and the coastal areas of the monsoon land receive heavy rainfall of over 200 cm per annum.

  4. None of these

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Israel has the hottest temperature ever recorded in Asia, 54˚C. The hottest country in Asia is the United Arab Emirates. This, however, is based on dry heat levels, which can be intolerable in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. As far as heat and humidity levels, Israel is the hottest country in Asia.

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.

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

  1. large extent of the continent

  2. large coast lines

  3. Both a and b

Show answer
Correct Option: C

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.
