Question

Which of the following factors cause the rise in the temperature of mainland of India in the month of March?

Options

• The land breeze blows towards the sea.

• The pressure belts shift.

• Southward migration of the sun from the equator.

• Northward migration of the sun from the equator.

Answer 1

Northward migration of the sun from the equator.

Explanation:

In March, the sun’s northward migration from the equator increases the temperature of mainland India. As the sun moves towards the tropic of cancer, the northern hemisphere, including India, receives more direct sunlight, resulting in rising temperatures during this period.
