South-east Asia, Central and Southern China, the Philippines, Japan, northern parts of India are the regions of _________.

  1. moderate Rainfall

  2. low Rainfall

  3. Both A and B

  4. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

South-east Asia, Central and Southern China, the Philippines, Japan, northern parts of India are the regions of  Moderate Rainfall.


It is a vast region in southern and southeastern Asia encompassing nearly all the territory north of 10° north and south of the Tropic of Cancer—from the Indus-Ganga low­lands to the Indo-Chinese peninsula (Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos) and Myanmar and Thailand.

The North Indian plains are practically tropical in climate although they actually lie in the Temperate Zone. Typically monsoonal conditions—sea­sonal reversal of wind systems and associated rainfall regimes—prevail.

It is impor­tant to emphasize here that the summer monsoons in India owe their origin to the pressure and wind systems in the equato­rial zone. During summer the southeast winds are sucked to the low-pressure area in western India and the moist winds from the Indian Ocean cause the onset of rain bearing summer monsoons.
