What is the primary source of data for understanding Telangana’s climate?

Historical records only
Satellite imagery only
A combination of ground stations and satellite data
Weather reports from neighboring states

The correct answer is C. A combination of ground stations and satellite data.

Ground stations are used to collect data on temperature, humidity, wind speed, and other weather variables. Satellites are used to collect data on cloud cover, precipitation, and other weather variables. By combining data from ground stations and satellites, scientists can create a more complete picture of Telangana’s climate.

A) Historical records only is not the correct answer because historical records are not always accurate or complete. For example, historical records may not include data on weather variables that were not measured at the time.

B) Satellite imagery only is not the correct answer because satellite imagery does not provide data on all weather variables. For example, satellite imagery cannot provide data on temperature or humidity.

D) Weather reports from neighboring states is not the correct answer because weather conditions can vary greatly from one state to another. For example, the climate of Telangana is different from the climate of Andhra Pradesh.
