Correct answer: B
During the monsoon season in India, most cyclones originate in the North Indian Ocean, particularly between 5° N and 15° N latitude. This region experiences warm sea surface temperatures and favorable atmospheric conditions, such as low vertical wind shear and high humidity, which support cyclone formation. The monsoon trough, a zone of low pressure, often extends across this latitude range, further promoting cyclonic activity.
हिन्दी उत्तर: भारत में मानसून ऋतु के दौरान अधिकांश चक्रवात उत्तरी भारतीय महासागर में 5° उ.अ. से 15° उ.अ. के बीच के क्षेत्र में उत्पन्न होते हैं। इस क्षेत्र में गर्म समुद्री सतह का तापमान और अनुकूल वायुमंडलीय स्थितियाँ, जैसे कि कम ऊर्ध्वाधर हवा का अपघटन और उच्च आर्द्रता, चक्रवात बनने के लिए अनुकूल होती हैं। मानसून त्रुटि, जो कि निम्न दाब का क्षेत्र होता है, अक्सर इस अक्षांश सीमा के आसपास फैला होता है, जिससे चक्रवाती गतिविधि को बढ़ावा मिलता है।
