Which of the following statements accurately differentiates the nature of 'Mango Shower' and 'Loo'?

  1. 'Mango Shower' is a convective rainfall event, while 'Loo' is an advective wind phenomenon.

  2. 'Mango Shower' primarily affects the northern plains, whereas 'Loo' is concentrated in the southern peninsula.

  3. 'Mango Shower' provides relief from heat, while 'Loo' exacerbates hot and dry conditions.

A1 and 3 only

B2 and 3 only

C1 only

DAll are correct

Answer:

A. 1 and 3 only

Read Explanation:

  • Mango Shower' is a convective rainfall event, while 'Loo' is an advective wind phenomenon.  

  • 'Mango Shower' is indeed a convective rainfall event, as discussed. This aligns with the experience in Kerala during the pre-monsoon season.  

  • 'Loo' is also correctly identified as an advective wind phenomenon prevalent in the Northern Plains.  

  • This statement accurately differentiates the two based on their meteorological nature.

  • 'Mango Shower' primarily affects the northern plains, whereas 'Loo' is concentrated in the southern peninsula.

  • 'Mango Shower' primarily affects Kerala and coastal Karnataka, which are part of the southern peninsula, not the northern plains. This part of the statement is incorrect.

  • 'Loo' is concentrated in the Northern Plains, not the southern peninsula. This part of the statement is also incorrect. This statement is entirely incorrect.

  • 'Mango Shower' provides relief from heat, while 'Loo' exacerbates hot and dry conditions.

  • 'Mango Shower' does provide relief from the increasing pre-monsoon heat and humidity experienced here in Kerala.

  • 'Loo' winds, prevalent in the Northern Plains, are known for exacerbating hot and dry conditions.  

  • This statement accurately differentiates the two based on their impact on temperature and humidity.

  • Therefore, the statements that accurately differentiate the nature of 'Mango Shower' and 'Loo' are:

  • 'Mango Shower' is a convective rainfall event, while 'Loo' is an advective wind phenomenon.  

  • 'Mango Shower' provides relief from heat, while 'Loo' exacerbates hot and dry conditions.

  • Both statements provide a correct differentiation, one based on the meteorological process and the other based on the resulting weather impact.
