answer for 1st ques.
India is a land of diversity and this can’t only be said in terms of culture and traditions of various states and regions of the country but is also true if we talk about India’s weather conditions.
For instance, India has a rich hilly terrain in the north and southern peninsular India too comprises of hills. But then there is a vast difference in the hill stations of both North and South. The North India hills are a part of the wide and extensive Western Himalayan region while the South India hills are a part of the Nilgiri range of hills. The Western Himalayan hills include the top hill stations such as Srinagar, Shimla, Manali while, the Nilgiri Hills include the prominent hilltops such as Ooty, Coonoor, and Kodaikanal that are all in Tamil Nadu.
Despite the fact that both the hill stations are situated almost at the same elevation, it rains and snows in the hills of North while the hills of South India do not experience any snow with minimized rains. Though the weather remains pleasant in the Nilgiri range almost throughout the year.
The daytime high in the hills of South India generally remains around 20°C while the minimums remain in single digits. While, in the North, the hills record the maximums dropping to teens while the minimums can at times fall to sub-zero levels.
As far as the weather phenomenon is concerned, the range of Western Himalayas receives rain or snow with the virtue of successive Western Disturbances that prevail over Jammu and Kashmir. On the other hand, South Indian hills generally receive rain on rare occasions and when it rains, it is due to any weather system developing in the Bay of Bengal that results in rains over Tamil Nadu and simultaneously over these hilly terrains.
Moreover, while fog is common in the hills of North India, the South Indian hills hardy witness fog though cloudy weather prevails. Thus, despite being at the similar altitude, both the hill stations of North and South relishes diverse weather conditions during the similar time frame.

1. The answer is that the above wind is too hot to make the ice crystals. The reason for this is that Southern India is very far from the north for the blasts, as well as the Himalaya Mountains protects largely in the worst weather conditions of cold transfers. Apart from this, the mountains are very low for the above conditions. Anywhere on earth, there will be snow at some distance of about 4,000 meters.
It's obviously snow on rare occasions:
There is no snowfall in the Western Ghats. To get the snow Eastern Ghats are very low. But in recent times, for some years, OT and Conor received light snow and the top of the roof was covered with its thin layer because the temperature fell) or just a little bit. Very rare
A snow is unbelievable and yet it was 200 years ago in the last week of April 1815. On Monday, April 24, the morning temperature was 11 degree Celsius and it fell below zero to 3 degree Celsius on Friday till 28 April. There are unverified reports of snow fall but this can be extreme. The reason for this cynical event was the volcanic eruption of Mount Tambora in Indonesia. At that time, it was the highest peak in the archipelago, which formed the country which was growing at a height of 4,300 meters. Please see the following link: -It was settled on Madras
2. Laterite soil is not so fertile as Humus has less content and the soil is generally not poor. Due to the high rate of weather, and as a result of low-charged minerals, soil is unable to maintain the necessary nutrients for the development of plants.
Laterite soil is not fertile because it has high amounts of acidity and inability to maintain moisture ................
Here is the low content of humus and nutrients.
