1) Compare the climatic conditions of India and Brazil on the basis of
physiography and latitudinal location.
Answers
Answer:
Because of the vast latitudinal extent of Brazil, it experiences a wide range of climatic variations in climate. For example, near the equator, it is hot while the temperate type of climate is found near Tropic of Capricorn. The average temperature in the Amazon valley is 25 ° - 28° C. The climate is cooler in the Highlands. Because of the proximity to the sea, the coasts experience mild and humid climate.
India's climate is 'monsoon' type. The sunrays are perpendicular upto the Tropic of Cancer, which passes through the middle of the country. As a result, average temperatures are higher throughout the year. Also, temperatures increase towards the south. In winters, the temperatures drop to - 40° Celsius in Jammu and Kashmir and parts of mountainous regions of Himalayas. The diversity in climatic conditions of India is due to the latitudinal location and altitude of the place. The Indian Ocean and the Himalayan ranges exert a great influence on the climate of India and the origin of Monsoons.
