Answers
Explanation:
a) The temperature remains high throughout the summer in the northern because,Northern plains have continental climate because it is away from the moderating influence of the sea. Thus, the summers are extremely hot and winters are extremely cold.
b) coastal areas enjoy equable climate because of the occurance of sea breeze and also due the high specific heat capacity of water , it absorbs the heat over ther land without itself becoming so hot ,and thus , keeping the land cool and moderate.
c) The state of Rajasthan receive scanty rainfall because it lies in the rain-shadow region of the Aravalli Mountains. The Aravalli Hills run parallel to the Arabian Sea branch, and thus do not form any barrier to intercept the winds. The winds thus passes through Rajasthan without causing any rainfall.
