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.

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.

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.

Continentality, a measure of the difference between continental and marine climates characterized by the increased range of temperature that occurs over land compared with water. this difference is a consequence of the much lower effective heat capacities of land surface as well as of their generally reduced evaporation rates.

- 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.

Our atmosphere is divided into various layers. In the troposphere, the temperature decreases with an increase in height. It increases by 1°C for every 165 m. This is called the normal lapse rate of temperature.

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.

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.

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.
