Compare the climate condition of Pakistan and India.
please answer the question
Answers
Explanation:
•India’s climate is dominated by monsoons. Monsoons arestrong, often violent winds that change direction with the season.
•Monsoon winds blow from cold to warm regions because cold air takes up more space than warm air.
•Monsoons blow from the land toward the sea in winter, and from the sea toward land in the summer.
•India’s winters are hot and dry.
•The monsoon winds blow from the northeast and carry little moisture.
•The temperature is high - the Himalayas form a barrier that prevents cold air from passing onto the subcontinent.
•Additionally, most of India lies between the Tropic of Cancer and the equator, so the sun’s rays shine directly on the land.
•The temperature can reach as high as 110oF during the Indian winter.
•The summer monsoons roar onto the subcontinent from the southwest.
•The winds carry moisture from the Indian Ocean and bring heavy rains from June to September.
•The torrential rainstorms often cause violent landslides. Entire villages have been swept away during monsoon rains.
•Despite the potential for destruction, the summer monsoons are welcomed in India. Farmers depend on the rains to irrigate their land. Additionally, a great deal of India’s electricity is generated by water power provided by the monsoon rains.
•Pakistan is much drier than India. The summer monsoon winds in India bring moisture from the Indian Ocean; Pakistan is north of the ocean and receives much less rain. The Thar Desert is on the border between India and Pakistan. It covers more than 77,000 square miles, about the size of Nebraska.
PAKISTAN
•Climate: Generally arid;
•hot summers,
•cool or cold winters;
•wide variations of temperature in given locale and between coastal area on Arabian Sea and glacial regions of northern areas;
•little rainfall.
CLIMATE OF PAKISTAN
•Depending on the topography, there is an extreme variation in the temperature of Pakistan.
•The country is essentially arid except for the southern slopes of the Himalayas and the sub-mountainous tract where the annual rainfall varies between 760 and 1270 mm.
•This area has humid sub-Tropical climate.
•In the extreme north - because of great heights - Highland climate prevails. The controlling factors of the climate are:
1. The sub-Tropical location of Pakistan that tends to keep the temperature high, particularly in summer. 2. The oceanic influence of the Arabian Sea that keeps down the temperature contrast between summer and winter at the coast.3. Higher altitudes in the west and north that keep the temperature down throughout the year.4. The Monsoon winds that bring rainfall in summer.5. The Western Depression originating from the Mediterranean region and entering Pakistan from the west that brings rainfall in winter. These cyclones make a long land journey and are thus robbed of most of the moisture by the time they reach Pakistan.
6. A temperature inversion layer at a low elevation of about 1,500 m in the south during the summer, that does not allow the moisture-laden air to rise and condensation to take place.Temperature:-
Pakistan can be divided into four broad temperature regions:1. Hot summer and mild winter: 32o C or more in summer and 10 to 21o C in winter.2. Warm summer and mild winter: 21 - 32oC in summer and 10 to 21oC in winter.3. Warm summer and cool winter: 21 - 32oC in summer and 0 - 10oC in winter.4. Mild summer and cool/cold winter: Summer temperature between 10 and 21oC and winter temperature between 0 and 10oC.
•The climate varies as much as the scenery, with cold winters and hot summers in the north and a mild climate in the south, moderated by the influence of the ocean. The central parts have extremely hot summers with temperatures rising to 45 °C ,followed by very cold winters, often falling below freezing.
•Officially the highest temperature recorded in Pakistan is 50.55°C at Pad Idan
•There is very little rainfall ranging from less than 250 millimetres to more than 1,250 millimetres (9.8–49.2 in), mostly brought by the unreliable south-westerly monsoon winds during the late summer.
•The construction of dams on the rivers and the drilling of water wells in many drier areas have temporarily eased water shortages at the expense of down gradient populations
•Pakistan has are four seasons:
•a cool, dry winter from December through February;
•a hot, dry spring from March through May;
•the summer rainy season, or southwest monsoon period, from June through September;
•the retreating monsoon period of October and November. The onset and duration of these seasons vary somewhat according to location.
Plz mark me brilliant
Although Pakistan and India are geographically connected with other but they have completely different climatic conditions throughout the whole year.
The main differences between these two country's weather are:
1) The monsoon is a huge climatic factor of the India but the allover monsoon amount in Pakistan is very less.
2) The summers are long and hotter in the Pakistan than the India.
3) India faces different types of weather conditions but Pakistan's weather is mostly arid.
And many more.
