Question

How does latitude and longitudes affect the climate of india?

Answer 1

change in climate depends on latitude. places situated at high latitudes receive less light (sunlight) while longitude does not affect the climate directly due to eastward and westward movement of air masses.

Answer 2

1) LATITUDE - Due to the curvature of the Earth, the amount of solar energy received is different according to the latitudes.

2) ALTITUDE - As we go higher, temperature generally decreases (From equator to poles) as the atmosphere becomes less dense.  

3)PRESSURE AND WIND SYSTEM - They depend on the latitude and altitude of a place, thus influencing the rainfall patterns.  

DISTANCE FROM SEA - The sea has a moderating effect on the climate. As distance from sea increases, this effect decreases and places experience extreme weather conditions (continentality).

OCEAN CURRENTS - They affect the climate of the coastal areas with the onshore winds.  

RELIEF - High mountains act as barriers for cold/hot winds, may also cause precipitation if they are high enough and lie in the path of rain bearing winds. The leeward side of the mountains remains dry.

 There is a relationship between latitude and temperature around the world, as temperatures are typically warmer approaching the Equator and cooler approaching the Poles. There are variations, though, as other factors such as elevation, ocean currents, and precipitation affect climate patterns.      ㏑ longitudes
