Question

The coldest place in the Asian continent is__
A.Verkhoyansk
B.China
C.Laddakh
D.Iran

Answer 1

Hint: There are extremely diverse climates and geographic characteristics in Asia. Climates in southern India and Southeast Asia range from arctic and subarctic in Siberia to tropical.

Complete answer: The coldest place in Asian Continent is Verkhoyansk with the lowest recorded temperature as -67.8 degree Celsius.
The climate of Asia is dry across southeast sections and the interiors are drier. The monsoon wind circulation is dominating across southern and eastern sections due to the presence of Himalayas which forces the formation of a thermal low. It draws in moisture during the summers.
Southwestern sections of Asia experience low relief because of the subtropical high pressure belt. This causes the summers to be hot and warm to cool winters, it also snows at higher altitudes. In the Northern hemisphere, Siberia is one of the coldest places and it acts as a source of arctic air mass for North America. The most active place on Earth for tropical cyclones lies in the northeast of the Philippines and south of Japan. The phase of El Nino-southern oscillation modulates where in Asia landfall is more likely to take place.

Thus, Option A is correct.

Note: Southern sections of Asia are mild to hot in temperature, whereas the northeastern areas such as Siberia are very cold in nature. Eastern Asia has a temperate climate. The highest temperature recorded in Asia was 54 degree Celsius at Tirat Zvi, Israel in 1942. The largest diurnal temperature ranges on Earth are witnessed by west-central Asia. The lowest temperature recorded was -67.8 degree Celsius at Verkhoyansk in Sakha Republic of Russia in 1892.
