Answers
Answer:
Latitude, attitude, pressure and winds are factors that influence the India's climate.
Factors that affect the climate of a place:
The climate of a place is influenced by a host of interacting factors such as:
Latitude
The places located at higher altitudes lie far from the equator and receive less sunlight and places that are situated towards the equator receives more sunlight and are hotter than the places located at higher latitudes. Sunlight also causes low precipitation or rainfall.
Elevation
The place at higher region or at high altitude the atmosphere experiences less pressure. As the gas residing in the atmosphere rises, it experiences feeling less pressure, hence causing it to expand.
Ocean Currents
Ocean currents are able to transfer heat energy from land to sea or vice versa thus affecting the temperature of the region.
Topography
Topography refers to the shape of the land. Latitudes and elevation ranges are the key factors that lead to fluctuation in surface temperatures hence leading to climate change.
