Question

Due to the curvature of the earth, the amount of solar energy received varies according to (a) ___________. As a result, air temperature generally decreases from the equator towards the poles. As one goes from the surface of the earth to higher (b) _________, the atmosphere becomes less dense and temperature decreases. The hills are therefore cooler during summers. The (c) _________ of any area depend on the latitude and altitude of the place. Thus it influences the temperature and rainfall pattern. The sea exerts a moderating influence on climate: As the (d) __________ increases, its moderating influence decreases and the people experience extreme weather conditions. This condition is known as continentality (i.e. very hot during summers and very cold during winters). (e) ___________ along with onshore winds affect the climate of the coastal areas, For example, any coastal area with warm or cold currents flowing past it, will be warmed or cooled if the winds are onshore. ​

Answer 1
