Discuss any three factors affecting the climate of India
Answers
Answer:
1. Location and Latitudinal Extent, 2. Distance from the Sea, 3. The Northern Mountain
1.Location and latitudinal extent
The mainland of India extends roughly from 8°N to 37°N and the Tropic of Cancer of passes through the middle of the country.Areas south of the Tropic of Cancer are closer to the equator and experience high temperature throughout the year.
2.Distance from sea
Areas near the coast have equable or mariline climate. On the contrary, interior locations are deprived of the moderating influence of the sea and experience extreme or continental climate. For example the annual range of temperature at Kochi does not exceed 3°C whereas it is as high at 20°C at Delhi. Similarly, the amount of annual rainfall at Kolkata is 119 cm which falls to a low of 24 cm at Bikaner.
3. The Northern Mountain Ranges:
As mentioned earlier, India is separated from the rest of Asia by the impenetrable wall of the Himalayan mountain ranges. These ranges protect India from the bitterly cold and dry winds of Central Asia during winter. Further, these mountain ranges act as an effective physical barrier for rain bearing south-west monsoon winds to cross the northern frontiers of India. Thus, the Himalayan mountain ranges act as a climatic divide between the Indian Sub-continent and Central Asia.
Answer:
three factors which effect the Indias climate are . Latitude , Altitude, pressure and winds, Corliss force,jet stream,cylone disturbances.
Explanation:
1.latitude.The tropic of Cancer passes through the middle of the country from rann of kuchchh to Mizoram.
2, Altitude.Thw Himalaya s prevent the cold winds from central Asia from entering th subcontinent.
3Coroliss force. a force caused by the earth rotation is the croliss force.This is also known as Ferrell's law
