Question

explain climate and monsoon​

Answer 1

The tropical monsoon climate experiences abundant rainfall like that of the tropical rain forest climate, but it is concentrated in the high-sun season. Being located near the equator, the tropical monsoon climate experiences warm temperatures throughout the year.

Answer 2

Answer:

Climate

• Climate is the average weather in a place over many years.

• The weather can change in just a few hours whereas climate takes millions of years to change.

• Planet earth has witnessed many variations in climate since the beginning.

$\bold \pink{Climate \: of \: India}$

Climate is about the average weather condition, which has been measured over many years. The climate of a place is affected by its:

• Location
• Altitude
• Distance from the sea
• Relief

It is about the day to day changes in the atmosphere. It includes changes in temperature, rainfall and sunshine etc.

$\bold \pink{Seasons \: in \: India}$

• Cold Weather (Winter) Season: This season can be found from the month of December till February. During this cold-weather season, the sun rays do not fall directly in the region. As a result, the temperatures are quite low in the northern parts of India.

• Hot Weather (Summer) Season: This season can be usually found during the month of March till May. During this time, the sun rays more or less directly fall in this region making the temperature very high.

• Southwest Monsoon (Rainy) Season: The Southwest Monsoon Season or the Rainy Season starts from the month of June and continues till September. This season is marked by the onset and advance of the monsoon where the winds blow from Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal towards the land. These winds carry moisture with them. When these winds strike the mountain barriers, rainfall occurs.

• Retreating Monsoon (Autumn) Season: The Autumn Season starts from the month of October and continues till November. This time is also called the season of retreating monsoons. During this season, the winds move back from the mainland to the Bay of Bengal. The southern parts of India, particularly Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh receive rainfall in this season.

$\bold \pink{Factors \: Affecting \: Climate \: Changes}$

Climatic changes are the outcome of influences we had on the atmospheric factors i.e. factors that affect climate. These factors are undergoing changes over and over for a few decades. Here are a few natural factors affecting climate change.

• Topography: Refers to the shape of the land. Latitudes and elevation ranges are one of the factors that lead to fluctuation in surface temperatures. It can lead to local changes in climate.

• Sea level: One of the influential factors affecting a region’s climate is the distance from the sea and nearby water bodies. The surface temperatures in Sea have an effect on land temperatures. Coastal areas are cooler and wetter than internal areas. This leads to cloud formation when warm air from these interior areas meets cool air from the sea.

• Ocean currents: These can transfer heat energy from land to sea or vice versa, hence influencing the temperature of the region.

• Prevailing winds: Winds scatter specific air masses. The climate of a region can be dependent on the direction of the wind as the wind from the humid region could bring cool air while that from the dry region would bring hot air.
