Question

Give 3 possible explanation for the differences between the average temperature in Thiruvananthapuram and Shimla in January

Answer 1

Answer:

The three main reasons behind the

difference in average temperatures of Shimla and Thiruvananthapuram is the

inclination of the earth, elevation above sea level and proximity to the sea.

The earth is slightly inclined to the

sun’s axis. It is also shaped in a manner that ensures that certain areas

experience slightly more sunlight than other places. This is because of the

proximity of the equator to the sun. Since Shimla is farther away from the

equator, it will be colder.

Elevation above sea level is an

important factor, since places at higher elevation experience cold climates.

Hence, Shimla will be colder.

Places near the sea experience more

humidity than other places, and this increases their average temperature.

Hence, Shimla will have lower temperature compared to Thiruvananthapuram, as it

is farther away from the sea.
