Question

Factors that affect climate

Answer 1

Answer:

Factors affecting the climate are as follows:

• Altitude : There is a decrease of 1°C for every 166 metre rise in height, because temperature decreases as you move to higher altitudes. So the mountains are cooler than the plains.
• Distance from the sea :  Areas in the interiors of India have extreme type of climate or continental climate whereas coastal areas have equable or maritime climate.The effect of land breeze and sea breeze caused by differential rate of heating and cooling of land and sea are responsible for moderate climate in coastal areas.
