Western Disturbance plays important role in bringing moderate to heavy rain in low-lying areas and heavy snow to mountainous areas of the Indian Subcontinent especially in winter. This disturbance is usually associated with cloudy sky, higher night temperatures and unusual rain.

Yogita Ingle 5 years, 4 months ago

Western Cyclonic Disturbances are the temperate cyclones which originate over Mediterranean Sea and Western Asia, and move into India, along with the westerly flow of jet streams.

By causing cyclonic rains over the plans and snowfall in the mountains they distrub he quite weather conditions of north and north west India.

Winter rainfall caused by them locally known as ' Mahawat' is of immense importance for the cultivation of Rabi crops.

the law that wind is deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere, derived from the application of the Coriolis effect to air masses.

Yogita Ingle 5 years, 4 months ago

Ferrel’s Law states that as a result of the Earth’s rotation on its axis from west to east, wind or any other moving object in the Northern Hemisphere is deflected to the right and in the Southern Hemisphere, it is deflected to the left of its course.

During the south west monsoon season, the Himalayas play an important role in determining the amount of rainfall received by several places in the country. They act as a barrier to the South west monsoon winds coming from the Indian Ocean. These winds when strike the mountains bring rainfall to the northern plains. Without the Himalayas, the northern Indian plains would have been barren lands. 

The ‘Purvanchal’ which are the eastern extensions of the Himalayas, act as a barrier to the Bay of Bengal branch of the Monsoon winds and results in orographic rainfall in north eastern parts of the country.

Air molecules at low altitudes are crowded together and there subsequent collisions increases their kinetic energy and temperature while at high altitude less air molecules are present in large volume which results into low temperature. Thus temperature generally decreases with increase in altitude.

The atmospheric condition plays vital role in determining the climate of any region.
The climate of India is governed by the following atmospheric conditions
(i) Pressure and Surface Winds: The surface winds blow from region of high pressure to the region of low pressure.
During winter, the high-pressure area lies North of Himalaya. Over the ocean in the South, there is low pressure .So, wind blows from land towards the sea. The reverse occurs during summer.
(ii) Upper Air Circulation: The North Easterly wind originate in sub - tropical high pressure belt of Northern hemisphere. They blow South and get deflected towards right (due to Coriolis force) over the low-pressure area of Indian sub-continent. They are dry and cold, and cause no rainfall.
Sub-tropical westerly jet stream brings Western cyclonic disturbances in North and North - Western India during winter.
(iii) Tropical Cyclone: They are part of easterly flow. They cause heavy to very heavy rainfall in Eastern coast of India during monsoon as well as in October- November.

Monsoon is the seasonal reversal of wind. India has monsoon type of climate.
It has following characteristics
(i) Monsoon which comes as South-West monsoon in Indian sub-continent proceeds into two branches after hitting the Southern tip
(a) Bay of Bengal branch
(b) Arabian sea branch
(ii) Monsoon occurs in alteration of dry and wet spells. The intervening dry spells of monsoon is called ‘Breaks’ in monsoon.
(iii) There is variation in intensity, frequency and duration of monsoon. This causes floods in one place and drought in other at the same time.
(iv) Monsoon is often irregular in its arrival and retreat.

(A) Burst of Monsoon :
(i) Around the time of arrival of monsoon, the normal rainfall increases suddenly and continues for several days called burst of monsoon.
(ii) It is associated with pre-monsoon showers.
(iii) In Kerala pre-monsoon showers are called 'Mango Showers' and in W. Bengal it is called 'Kal Baishakhi.'
(B) Break of Monsoon:
(i) When the monsoon rains take place only for a few days at a time is called 'Break of Monsoon'
(ii) It is interspersed with rainless intervals
(iii) These breaks in monsoon are related to the movement of monsoon trough.

In winter months, the weather conditions over India are generally influenced by the distribution of pressure in the Central and Western Asia. A high-pressure centre in the region lying to the north of the Himalayas develops during winter. This centre of high pressure gives rise to the flow of air from the north towards the Indian subcontinent, south of the mountain range. These surface winds blowing out of the high-pressure centre over Central Asia reach India in the form of a dry continental air mass. These continental winds come in contact with trade winds over northwestern India. The position of this contact zone is not, however, stable. Occasionally, it may shift its position as far east as the middle Ganga valley with the result that the whole of the northwestern and northern India up to the middle Ganga valley comes under the influence of dry northwestern winds.

1.Latitude 2.Elevation 3.Ocean currents 4.Topography 5.Vegetation 6.Prevailing winds

Alok Gupta 5 years, 4 months ago

1.Latitude The places located at higher altitudes lie far from the equator and receive less sunlight and places that are situated towards the equator receives more sunlight and are hotter than the places located at higher latitudes. Sunlight also causes low precipitation or rainfall. 2.Elevation The place at higher region or at high altitude the atmosphere experiences less pressure. As the gas residing in the atmosphere rises, it experiences feeling less pressure, hence causing it to expand. 3.Ocean currents Ocean currents are able to transfer heat energy from land to sea or vice versa thus affecting the temperature of the region. 4.Topography Topography refers to the shape of a land. Latitudes and elevation ranges are the key factors that lead to fluctuation in surface temperatures hence leading to climate change. 5.Vegetation Vegetation mainly comprises of trees in the region. Due to the release of water vapour during photosynthesis into the air, it alters the surface energy fluxes and leads to potential cloud formation. 6.Prevailing winds Winds distribute and spread particular air masses. The direction of the wind helps to determine the climate of a region. The wind coming from the humid region bring cool air while that from the dry region would brings hot air.

  • The elements affecting the climate are latitude, altitude and pressure and winds, distance from the sea (continentality), ocean currents and relief features.
  • Latitude and altitude: The most important climatic control is latitude. Latitude affects the temperature of a place. The places situated at higher altitudes which are far from equator receive less sunlight and places which are located towards the equator which is a 00 latitude receives more sunlight and are hotter than the places located at higher latitudes. Sunlight also affects precipitation or rainfall. Thus latitudinal position of a region decides the climate of the place.
  • Continentality is defined as measure of difference between continental and marine climates. As the distance from sea increases this moderating effect decreases and people face extreme weather conditions
  • Winds and air masses originate over oceans move onshore to the mainland and affect climate.

Main characteristic features of the tropical monsoon type of climate are:

  • In tropical monsoon type of climate, there are two dry seasons with low rainfall. For example in India, summers and winters are dry with only little rainfall. While northern parts of the country receive little rainfall during the summer season due to cyclonic depression, Tamil Nadu receives rainfall during winters. Rest of the country experiences hot and dry summers and cool and dry winters.
  • There is a distinct rainy season with very high rainfall. During the monsoon season in India, many parts of the country receive rainfall as high as 200cm. However, some parts of the country like western Rajasthan, western Gujarat, Punjab and Haryana receive very little rainfall due to relief features.
  • Rainfall in the tropical monsoon climate is seasonal in nature and is often irregular and uneven.
  • There is high annual temperature (approx. 260C) in the tropical monsoon type of climate.

The Indus Water Treaty is the treaty between the Government of India and the Government of Pakistan for the optimum utilisation of the waters of the Indus system of rivers. It was signed under the arbitration of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (now World Bank) in Karachi (Pakistan) on September 19, 1960. According to the regulations of the Indus water treaty (1960), India can use only 20% of the total water carried by the Indus river system . This water is used for irrigation in Punjab, Haryana and Southern and western parts of rajasthan.

Drainage Patterns Radial

In a radial drainage system, the streams radiate outwards from a central high point. Volcanoes usually display excellent radial drainage. On these features the drainage may exhibit a combination of radial patterns A good example of a radial drainage pattern is provided by the rivers originating from the Amarkantak Mountain. Rivers like Narmada, Son and Mahanadi originating from Amarkantak Hills flow in different directions and are good examples of radial pattern. This pattern is also found in the Girnar Hills (Kathiwar, Gujarat), and Mikir Hills of Assam

Dendritic: The dendritic pattern develops where the river channel follows the slope of the terrain. The drainage pattern resembling the branches of a tree is known as “dendritic” the examples of which are the rivers of northern plain. It is the most common stream pattern. A dendritic pattern develops in a terrain which has uniform lithology, and where faulting and jointing are insignificant.

Trellis drainage patterns typically develop where sedimentary rocks have been folded or tilted and then eroded to varying degrees depending on their strength. The Rocky Mountains of B.C. and Alberta are a good example of this, and many of the drainage systems within the Rockies have trellis patterns.

Gaurav Seth 5 years, 4 months ago

When a river is joined by its tributaries at almost right angles, it develops a trellis pattern. Trellis pattern develops where hard and soft rocks exist parallel to each other. 

When the primary tributaries of rivers flow parallel to each other and secondary tributaries join them at right angles, the pattern is known as ‘trellis’. A trellis drainage pattern develops where hard and soft rocks lie parallel to each other. For example, rivers in the upper part of the Himalayan region and in the old folded mountains of the Singhbhum (Chotanagpur Plateau) have drainage of trellis pattern. The trellis drainage pattern can also be seen in the Appalachian region of the U.S.A., where hard and soft rocks occur in parallel bands.

<div style="margin:0px; padding:0px">Following are the differences between the organised and unorganised sector:</div> <div style="margin:0px; padding:0px"> </div>

Organised sector

Unorganised sector

Comprises enterprises where the term of employment is regular and the job is assured.

Comprises small units where jobs are not regular and hence the job is not assured.

Companies are registered by the government and have to follow rules and regulations.

Companies are outside the control of the government. They have rules and regulations, but these are not followed.

Employees in the organised sector have fixed working hours and they are paid if they work overtime.

Workers in the unorganised sector are paid low wages which are not regular. There is no provision of payment if they work overtime.

Employees in the organised sector get social security benefits such pension, provident fund, paid leave, sick leave etc.

Workers in the unorganised sector do not get benefits such as pension and provident fund. There are no paid leaves and no leaves due to sickness.

Workers in the organised sector are paid a   fixed salary.

Workers in the unorganised sector are not paid a fixed salary.

Suzanne Smitha 5 years, 4 months ago

The sector, which is registered with the government is called an organised sector. In this sector, people get assured work, and the employment terms are fixed and regular. A number of acts apply to the enterprises, schools and hospitals covered under the organised sector. Entry into the organised sector is very difficult as proper registration of the entity is required. The sector is regulated and taxed by the government. There are some benefits provided to the employees working under organised sector like they get the advantage of job security, add on benefits are provided like various allowances and perquisites. They get a fixed monthly payment, working hours and hike on salary at regular intervals. Definition of Unorganised Sector The sector which is not registered with the government and whose terms of employment are not fixed and regular is considered as unorganised sector. In this sector, no government rules and regulations are followed. Entry to such sector is quite easy as it does not require any affiliation or registration. The government does not regulate the unorganised sector, and hence taxes are not levied. This sector includes those small size enterprises, workshops where there are low skill and unproductive employment. The working hours of workers are not fixed. Moreover, sometimes they have to work on Sundays and holidays. They get daily wages for their work, which is comparatively less than the pay prescribed by the government. Key Differences Between Organised and Unorganised Sector The difference between organised and unorganised sector can be drawn clearly on the following grounds: Organised Sector is a sector where the employment terms are fixed and regular, and the employees get assured work. Unorganised sector is one where the employment terms are not fixed and regular, as well as the enterprises, are not registered with the government. A number of acts apply to an organised sector like Factories Act, Bonus Act, PF Act, Minimum Wages Act, etc. whereas unorganised sector is not governed by any such act. The government rules are strictly followed in the organised sector, which is not in the case of unorganised sector. In organised sector, the employees draw regular monthly salaries. On the other hand, in the unorganised sector, the workers are paid on a daily basis. Job security exists in the organised sector, but not in the unorganised sector. The organised sector, provide additional remuneration to employees for overtime. Conversely, there is no such provision for overtime in case of the unorganised sector. In organised sector, the salaries of employees are as per government norms. In contrast to an unorganised sector where wages are below, what is prescribed by the government. In organised sectors, workers get a hike on salary, once in a while. As opposed to an Unorganised sector where the salaries or workers are rarely hiked. Employees get add-on benefits like medical facilities, pension, leave travel compensation, etc. in the organised sector, which is not provided to the employees working in unorganised sector

Division of labor is essential to economic progress because it allows people to specialize in particular tasks. This specialization makes workers more efficient, which reduces the total cost of producing goods or providing a service. Additionally, by making people become skilled and efficient at a smaller number of tasks, division of labor gives people time to experiment with new and better ways of doing things.

Returning to the example of the restaurant visit, consider how much longer it would take to have dinner if the same person came to greet you at the door, led you to your table, brought water, took your order and then went to the kitchen to start chopping vegetables and cooking your pasta. A 45-minute meal at a restaurant that divides labor may take a couple of hours at a restaurant where every task related to your table is completed by one person.
