Q. Which of the following is true about Konkan Coast?
1. It extends from Mumbai to South Karnataka.
2. Annual range of temperature is high.
3. It receives rainfall by the Arabian Sea branch of South west monsoon.
Which of the above given statement is/are correctly matched?
Answer: D
Notes:
With a long coastline, large coastal areas have an equable climate. Areas in the interior of India are far away from the moderating influence of the sea. Such areas have extremes of climate. That is why, the people of Mumbai and the Konkan coast have hardly any idea of extremes of temperature and the seasonal rhythm of weather. On the other hand, the seasonal contrasts in weather at places in the interior of the country such as Delhi, Kanpur and Amritsar affect the entire sphere of life.
