Question

3. (a) Why does temperature in Mumbai and Chennai
not fall as low as it does in Delhi ?

Answer 1

Answer:

1)due to the moderating effect of the sea. i.e. the wind flowing over the sea carries the moisture and the warmth

2) because they are comparatively closer to the equator than Delhi

Answer 2

Answer:Typically coastal places will have a moderate climate throughout the year as sea surface absorbs heat slowly and also loses the heat slowly (specific heat of water is more) which influences the adjacent land temperature.

The temperature in Mumbai and Chennai do not fall as low as in Delhi because,

Mumbai and Chennai are situated at the bank of the oceans.

Due to high specific heat capacity the presence of a large amount of water is able to modify the climate of the

nearby land areas, making them warmer in winter and cooler in summer,temperature does not fall

however same conditions are not there in Delhi.
