Explain the factors which control the Indian climatic condition.
Answers
Answer:
The climate around the world is affected by many different factors that lead to different parts of the Earth experiencing differing climates. The following factors influence the India’s climate:
Latitude
The Tropic of Cancer passes through the middle of the country from the Rann of Kuchchh in the west to Mizoram in the east. Almost half of the country, lying south of the Tropic of Cancer, belongs to the tropical area. All the remaining area, north of the Tropic, lies in the sub-tropics. Therefore, India’s climate has characteristics of tropical as well as subtropical climates.
Altitude
As we move from the surface of the earth to the higher altitudes, the temperature decreases.
Pressure and wind system
The pressure and wind system of any area depend on the latitude and altitude of that place. Thus, it influences the temperature accordingly.
Distance from the sea
Coastal regions are cooler as compared to interior regions. As the distance from the sea increases, its influence decreases and the people experience extreme weather conditions.
Ocean currents
Cold ocean currents flowing over a region will decrease the temperature of that area whereas warm currents will increase the temperature.
Relief features
Relief features are the barriers that block currents from entering the country. High mountains act as barriers for cold or hot winds.
