Which of the following statement is not correct?

Question

Accepted Answer

Option 1 is the correct answer because the Easterly Jet Stream is *not* found only in the winter season. It is a characteristic feature of the *summer* monsoon season over the Indian subcontinent. It develops due to the intense heating of the Tibetan Plateau, which creates a high-pressure area aloft, leading to the formation of the easterly jet stream.

Here's why the other options are incorrect:

*   **Option 2: I. T. C. Z. (Inter Tropical Convergence Zone) shows maximum northern shift in the month of june.** This statement is generally correct. The ITCZ, a low-pressure zone where trade winds converge, follows the sun. During the Northern Hemisphere summer (around June), it shifts northward, reaching its maximum northern extent over India.

*   **Option 3: Monsoon winds show seasonal reversal pattern.** This statement is correct. Monsoon winds are characterized by a complete reversal of wind direction between summer and winter. In summer, they blow from sea to land (bringing moisture), and in winter, they blow from land to sea (dry winds).

*   **Option 4: Western ghats receive rain primarily from Arabian branch of Indian Monsoon.** This statement is correct. The Arabian Sea branch of the Indian monsoon strikes the Western Ghats perpendicularly, causing significant orographic rainfall on the windward side of the mountains.
