11.Mention any three factors which influence the climate of India. |
|
Answer» Factors influencing the climate of India:1) LATITUDE - Due to the curvature of the Earth, the amount of solar energy received is different according to the latitudes. 2) ALTITUDE - As we go higher, temperature generally decreases (From equator to poles) as the atmosphere becomes less dense. 3) PRESSURE AND WIND SYSTEM - They depend on the latitude and altitude of a place, thus influencing the rainfall patterns. 4) DISTANCE FROM SEA - The sea has a moderating effect on the climate. As distance from sea increases, this effect decreases and places experience extreme weather conditions (continentality). 5) OCEAN CURRENTS - They affect the climate of the coastal areas with the onshore winds. |
