Which one of the following places of India experiences highest atmospheric pressure during winter?
General KnowledgeGeography
- AJaisalmer
- BLeh
- CChennai
- DGuwahati
Explanation
In winter, intense cold makes air dense and builds high pressure over northern India. Leh, in the trans-Himalayan cold desert, records the lowest winter temperatures among the given places, so atmospheric pressure is highest there. Chennai and Guwahati remain comparatively warm, and Jaisalmer, though cold, does not match Leh's extreme winter cold. Hence the answer is Leh.
