Question

In our country, the Tropic of Cancer passes almost through the __________.

• A. Northern part
• B. Central part
• C. Southern part
• D. Western part

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

In our country, the Tropic of Cancer passes almost through the Central Part.

The positioning of the Tropic Of Cancer has a major effect on India's climate. It has abruptly divided the country into two parts. Thus, areas to the south of the Tropic of cancer are closer to the equator thus they remain very hot for the entire year whereas areas north to the Tropic of Cancer fall in the warm temperate zone and experience comparatively minimum temperature and cooler climate most of the time in the year. The water bodies like the Bay Of Bengal and the Arabian Sea surrounding peninsular India maintain a moderate climate in the coastal areas.
