Which controls are major in Ladakh's cold and dry climate?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Altitude and mountain barriers

Direct answer: A, altitude and mountain barriers. Ladakh lies at a high elevation, and greater altitude is associated with low temperatures. It is also surrounded by high mountain ranges that limit the entry of moisture-bearing monsoon winds, so the region receives little precipitation and remains dry. These two controls work together: height helps explain the cold, while relief and the rain-shadow setting help explain the dryness. A is correct because it includes both major physical controls relevant to the question. B is wrong because Ladakh is a landlocked highland, not a coastal area. C is wrong because a warm ocean current is not the main control in this inland region. D is wrong because strong coastal influence is absent. Memory cue: Ladakh is high, enclosed by mountains and far from direct maritime influence—high means cold, blocked moisture means dry.
