Key Points

• Aw or Tropical Humid Region:
  • ​The southern parts of Dungarpur, Jhalawar, and Banswara comes under the region.
  • The Winter season is arid and cool whereas summers experience scorching heat.
  • Rainfall also occurs mainly in the summer season.
  • Here arid Tropical grasslands and the Savanna region are found along with deciduous trees of Monsoon type.

​Additional Information

• A land-based classification of climatic zones, the Koppen classification system divides the earth into five major types, represented with the letters A, B, C, D, and E.
• Presently, the system utilizes both precipitation and temperature, as well as corresponding vegetation, to categorize biomes across the world.
• All zones except Zone B can be defined by temperature because the determining criteria for the vegetation in this zone are dryness, which falls under precipitation.
• Three types of climatic variation may be found within the Tropical Moist Climate region:
  • Af, or tropical wet climate, where precipitation occurs year-round.
    • Temperature variations are less than 3ºC.
    • Humidity is extremely high and the surface temperature results in the formation of cumulus and cumulonimbus clouds in the early afternoon time, daily.
    • This results in high rainfall.
  • Am, or tropical monsoon climate, where annual rainfall is similar to that of Af, but precipitation usually occurs within the 7-9 of the warmest months of the year.
    • During the rest of the year, there is less precipitation.
  • Aw, or the tropical wet and dry climate, also known as the savanna climate, where there is an extended dry season during the winter.
    • During the wet season, rainfall is less than 1000mm, occurring mainly in the summertime.

Additional Information

• The Ghaggar is an intermittent river in India, flowing during the monsoon rains.
  • It originates in the village of Dagshai in the Shivalik Hills of Himachal Pradesh at an elevation of 1,927 meters (6,322 ft) above mean sea level and flows through Punjab and Haryana states into Rajasthan just southwest of Sirsa, Haryana, and by the side of Talwara Lake in Rajasthan.
  • Dammed at Ottu barrage near Sirsa, Ghaggar feeds two irrigation canals that extend into Rajasthan.
• The main tributaries of the Ghaggar are the Kaushalya river, Markanda, Sarsuti, Tangri and Chautang.
• The Kaushalya river is a tributary of Ghaggar river on the left side of Ghaggar-Hakra,
• It flows in the Panchkula district of Haryana state of India and confluences with Ghaggar river near Pinjore just downstream of Kaushalya Dam.

Ocean Current:

• An ocean current is a continuous, directed movement of seawater generated by a number of forces acting upon the water, including wind, the Coriolis effect, breaking waves, cabbeling, and temperature and salinity differences.
• Depth contours, shoreline configurations, and interactions with other currents influence a current's direction and strength. Ocean currents are primarily horizontal water movements.
• An ocean current flows for great distances and together they create the global conveyor belt, which plays a dominant role in determining the climate of many of Earth’s regions.

Key Points

Types of current:

• Warm Currents: Warm ocean currents flow away from the equatorial region on the western side of ocean basins. The Gulf Stream in the North Atlantic and the Kuroshio Current in the North Pacific are examples of warm currents. Of all the warm currents, the Gulf Stream has been studied most extensively.
• Cold Currents: Cold currents flow toward the equator on the eastern side of ocean basins. Examples of cold ocean currents include the Canary Current in the North Atlantic, the California Current in the North Pacific, and the Benguela Current in the South Atlantic.
