Climate of India
Which one of the following is a characteristic feature of the Indian monsoon?
C.Absence of cyclonic disturbances
B.Sudden onset and withdrawal
D.Predominantly westerly winds throughout the year
A.Uniform distribution of rainfall across the country
Correct Answer: Option B
The most prominent characteristic of the Indian monsoon is its sudden onset (burst) and subsequent gradual withdrawal.
Indian monsoon is also characterized by distinct wet and dry seasons.
The distribution of rainfall is not uniform across the country.
Cyclonic disturbances are associated with the monsoon, particularly during the retreating monsoon season.
The winds are not predominantly westerly throughout the year; they are seasonal, reversing with the changing seasons.
Hence, option B is the correct answer.
