Question

Due to the curvature of the earth, the amount of solar energy received varies according to

latitude. As a result, air temperature generally decreases from the equator towards the poles.

As one goes from the surface of the earth to higher altitudes, the atmosphere becomes less

dense and temperature decreases. The hills are therefore cooler during summers. The pressure

and wind system of any area depend on the latitude and altitude of the place. Thus influences

the temperature and rainfall pattern. The sea exerts a moderating influence on climate: As the

distance from the sea 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). Ocean currents 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.
