In which part of India is cool mountain climate observed?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. North.
A cool mountain climate is observed primarily in the Himalayan region of North and Northeastern India. States such as Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Sikkim, and parts of Arunachal Pradesh experience this climate due to their high altitudes. These areas have cool summers and cold winters, with many places receiving snowfall. The elevation moderates the temperature, making it much lower than the surrounding plains. This type of climate supports unique vegetation and is popular for tourism and horticulture.
