SSC CGL 2023 PYQ — Question 36

The correct answer is option 2, i.e. very hot during summers and very cold during winters.

 

• Continentality refers to the climatic condition where an area experiences extreme temperature variations between summer and winter due to its location away from large bodies of water.
• This results in very hot summers and very cold winters.
• Water has a moderating effect on temperatures, so regions farther from oceans or seas, which cannot benefit from this moderation, tend to have more significant temperature differences.
• Continentality is typically observed in inland areas, such as central Asia and parts of North America.
