Answer:
1) Insolation comes through vertical rays on equator. Thus, it covers up less space but we feel more heat there when it goes up towards poles, the sun rays become slanting. ... This is the reason why amount of insolation decreases from equator towards poles.
3) Because of the “urban heat island” effect, cities of a million or more people can be 1–3°C (1.8–5.4°F) warmer on average—and as much as 12°C (22°F) warmer in the evening—than the surrounding area, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
4)
5) The monsoon delivers about 70% of India's annual rainfall and determines the yield of rice, wheat, sugarcane and oilseeds, such as soybeans. ... Monsoon rains replenish reservoirs and groundwater, allowing better irrigation and more hydropower output.
6)At the equator, the altitude is lower and also because of the direct heating of sun rays on the surface, the temperature is much higher than at the poles. This makes the air near the surface hot and lighter and hence it rises up which results in lower air pressure.
