Explain two major climatic controls of
india's weather conditions.
Answers
Climatic control
Latitude
Altitude
Pressure and Wind System
Distance from the Sea
Ocean Currents
Relief Features
Latitude
Latitude are imaginary lines joining points on the Eath's surface that are all of equal distance north or south of the equator.
Altitude
Altitude is the height of a place above sea level or the Eath's surface.
The Eath's atmosphere is divided into various altitude regions :
Troposphere
Stratosphere
Mesosphere
Thermosphere
Exosphere
Pressure and Wind
Latitude and Altitude of a region determine the pressure and wind system of an area.
Pressure and wind play an important role in the amount of rainfall a region receives.
Distance from the Sea
The sea has a moderating influence on the region near it.
The region near the sea does not experience extreme climates.
As the distance from the sea increases the region experiences extreme climatic conditions known as continentality, that is the summer's are very hot and the winters are very cold.
Ocean Currents
Ocean Currnets and onshore winds affect the climate of coastal regions.
Coastal areas are warm or cool depending on the ocean currents that flow past it.
Relief
Mountain act as barriers and stops cold or hot winds.
