Question

how does wind influence climate of an area

Answer 1

Explanation:

A. Latitude Tropic of Cancer divides India into equal halves. The region lying North to it has the sub-tropical climate, whereas South to it has a tropical climate.

B. Altitude It means the height from the sea level. With an increase in height from the Earth surface the temperature decreases and the air becomes less dense. India has mountain ranges (the Himalayas) in the North with an average elevation of about 6000 m. whereas on the coastal areas as well as islands, maximum elevation is about 30m. The Indian sub-continent experiences milder winters as the Himalayas act as a barrier against the cold arctic winds and stop them from entering in India.

The Himalayas also stop the South-West monsoon winds to escape from India and the whole Northern India experiences monsoon season.

C. Distance from the Sea The regions located near the sea have a moderate climate and those lying away from have extreme climate. This is due to the moderating influence of ocean currents.
