Average temperature increases in summer in Madhya Pradesh
- (a)From north to south
- (b)From east to west
- (c)From south to north
- (d)From west to east
Correct — C, from south to north. Per the official answer, the average summer temperature in Madhya Pradesh rises as one moves from the south towards the north, the northern Chambal-Gwalior plains recording the higher summer averages.
- (a)From north to south — Reverses the actual gradient; summer averages rise towards the north, not the south.
- (b)From east to west — The main summer-temperature gradient in the state is south-to-north, not east-to-west.
- (d)From west to east — Not the gradient described; the increase is towards the north.
In the pre-monsoon summer, the northern plains of Madhya Pradesh heat up more than the more elevated, plateau-influenced south, so average summer temperature increases from south to north.
Pair with the annual-range question: the north is both hotter in summer and shows the widest annual range.
- Summer (pre-monsoon) heating is strongest over the northern plains.
- Average summer temperature rises from south to north in MP.
- The north (Gwalior-Chambal) is among the hottest parts in summer.
- Southern MP is moderated by higher, plateau terrain.
- South MP — lower average summer temperature
- Central MP — intermediate
- North MP (Chambal-Gwalior) — higher average summer temperature
Average summer temperature increases from south to north.
- Reversing the gradient (north-to-south)
- Assuming an east-west gradient
