Question

how is the latitudinal spread of India advantageous to her?

Answer 1

The wide latitudinal extent of India from 8°4'N to 37°6'N has ample of advantages.The significant two advantages are stated below:

Firstly, the wide latitudinal extension of nearly 30 degrees results into wide variation in the climates. The southern part of India receives more sunlight than northern part which results into diversity of flora and fauna in our country. For example: In north we get tea, apples, dry fruits and medicinal plants etc. similarly from the south we get cotton, spices, mangoes and coffee etc.

Secondly, it helps in receiving monsoon from the southern part of India which lies in the warm tropical zone and from the northern part, the snow veiled Himalayas lying in the cool temperate zone is the source of perennial rivers to solve the problem of the water scarcity in the northern India.
Hope you got your answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

The Tmpic of Cancer passes through India, dividing the country into two halves.

(a) The latitudinal extent is advantageous to her because southern part lies in the tropical zone and northern part lies in the sub-tropical zone. Indian enjoys the advantage of moderate climate in the south and extreme climates in the north.

(b) The sun rays are always vertical at the equator and southern India being near the equator does not experience much difference in the duration of day and night and it is warm throughout the Year. The northern parts lie in the sub-tropical zone and get slanting rays of the sun and experience large difference between day and mght temperatures.The Tmpic of Cancer passes through India, dividing the country into two halves.
