Answer :-

There are six major controls of the climate of anyplace. They are latitude, altitude, pressure and wind system, distance from the sea,ocean currents and relief features.

LATITUDE :-

• The Tropic of Cancer passes through the middle of the country.
• Almost half of the country, Iying south of the Tropic of Cancer, belongs to the tropical area and north of the Tropic, lies in the sub-tropics.
• Therefore, India's climate has characteristics of tropical as well as subtropical climates.

ALTITUDE :-

• The Himalayas prevent the cold winds from Central Asia from entering the subcontinent.
• It is because of these mountains that India experiences milder winters.

PRESSURE AND WIND :-

• The climate in India is governed by the following atmospheric conditions.
• Upper air circulation and Western cyclonic disturbances and tropical cyclones.

DISTANCE FROM THE SEA :-

• As the distance from the sea increases, its moderating influence decreases and the people experience extreme weather conditions.
• For example in India if a person moves away from Mumbai, it will experiences extreme climate.

OCEAN CURRENTS :-

• Any coastal area with warm or cold currents flowing past it will be warmed or cooled if the winds are onshore.
