B Correct answer
Explanation

A characteristic feature of the cold weather season over the northern plains is the inflow of cyclonic disturbances from the west and the northwest. These low-pressure systems originate over the Mediterranean Sea and West Asia and move into India along with the westerly flow. They cause the much-needed winter rains over the plains and snowfall in the mountains. This winter rainfall in northern parts of the country is locally known as 'mahawat'.

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

During the Earthquake one should stay calm. If he’s indoors, stay inside. If he’s outside, stay outside.

If he’s indoors, stand against a wall near the center of the building, stand in a doorway, or crawl under heavy furniture (a desk or table). Stay away from windows and outside doors. If he’s outdoors, stay in the open away from power lines or anything that might fall. Stay away from buildings (stuff might fall off the building or the building could fall on you).

Don't use matches, candles, or any flame. Broken gas lines and fire don't mix. Don't use elevators (they'll probably get stuck anyway).
