Question

Give a geographical reason for the following:

Heatwaves in the end of April are experienced in the northern plains.

Answer 1

Heatwaves are experienced in the northern plains at the end of April because the plains have flat and extensive land which gets intensely heated due to direct insolation. The absence of moisture and vegetation cover causes the land to heat up quickly. This leads to the formation of low-pressure areas and hot, dry winds known as “loo” blowing over the region, causing heatwaves during this time.
