Why is the north -south extent of India large than its east-west extent even though the country latitude and longitudinal extent in degree is approximate of same value?

Answer»

It is because of spherical shape of our earth. Latitudes and longitudes are imaginary lines marked on it. All longitudes are same in length but distance between them decreases when we move from the Equator towards the poles. All of them meet on North Pole and South Pole.

Lengths of latitudes keep decreasing when we move from the Equator towards poles.Tropic of Cancer passes from mid of India. Length of Tropic of Cancer is less than the Equator.

Answer»

The land of India extends from 8 degrees 4 minutes 28 seconds N to 37 degrees 17 minutes 53 seconds N.

The latitudinal extent of India is nearly 30 degrees which is huge.

The large latitudinal extent plays a major role in the duration of day and night at different places.

What are the implications of India'slatitudinal extent?How far is Arunachal Pradesh befitting namefor our easternmost state?

Answer»

The land of India extends from 8 degrees 4 minutes 28 seconds N to 37 degrees 17 minutes 53 seconds N.

The latitudinal extent of India is nearly 30 degrees which is huge.

The large latitudinal extent plays a major role in the duration of day and night at different places.

Yes, it is surely agreed that Arunachal Pradesh is a befitting name for our eastern most state.

As the word “Arun” means Sun and “Achal” means rise. Being the eastern most state of India, the sun rises here first than any other state in the country.

For this purpose it is also called the place of rising sun. So, the state by itself is a befitting name.

(f) Salinity increases in the mid-latitudinal zones.

Answer»

Sea Surface Salinity:Sea water is about a 3.49% salt solution, the rest is freshwater. The more saline, the denser the seawater.

As the range of salt concentration in the ocean varies from about 3.2 to 3.8%, oceanographers refer to salt content as 'salinity', express salt concentration as parts per thousand; 34.9 ppt is the average salinity.

As seawater evaporates the salt remains behind, only the freshwater is transferred from the ocean to the atmosphere.

A region of excess evaporation, such as the subtropics tends to become salty, while the areas of excess rainfall become fresher.

Sea ice formation also removes freshwater from the ocean, leaving behind a more saline solution. Along the shores of Antarctica this process produces dense water.

Salinity reflects the workings of the hydrological cycle: the movement of freshwater through the earth/ocean/atmosphere system.

er the follow ing questions in brief asimalayEspiain the Trade Windsa is a natural wall which protects India', How

Answer»

a wind blowing steadily towards the equator from the north-east in the northern hemisphere or the south-east in the southern hemisphere, especially at sea. Two belts of trade winds encircle the earth, blowing from the tropical high-pressure belts to the low-pressure zone at the equator

1. Climatic Influence:

The Himalayas play a very significant role in influencing the climate of India. By virtue of their high altitude, length and direction, they effectively intercept the summer monsoons coming from the Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea and cause precipitation in the form of rain or snow.

Besides, they prevent the cold continental air masses of central Asia from entering into India. Had there been no Himalayas, the whole of India would have been a desert in the absence of precipitation and its winters would have been very severe under the influence of cold airmasses coming from Central Asia. According to the latest meteorological studies, the Himalayas are responsible for splitting the jet stream into two branches and these in turn play an extremely important role in bring monsoons in India.

2. Defence:

The Himalayas have been protecting India from outside invaders since the early times thus serving as a defence barrier. But the Chinese aggression on India in October, 1962 has reduced the defence significance of the Himalayas to a considerable extent. In spite of advancement in modem warfare technology, the defence significance of the Himalayas cannot be ignored altogether.
