Question

“India has characteristics both of tropical and temperate types of climate”. Discuss how
climate influences diversity in India.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Answer: This is because the Tropic of Cancer passes through the middle of the country from the Rann of Kuchchh from our country. The areas which are in south ie below tropic of cancer experience tropical climate and areas lying in north ie above tropic of cancer experience temperate climate

Answer 2

India has characteristics both of tropical and temperate types of climate because:

• The Tropic of Cancer passes across the center of India, from the Rann of Kuchh in the west to Mizoram in the east.
• The tropical zone, which is south of the Tropic of Cancer, covers more than half of the country.
• The remaining land north of the Tropic is covered under the sub-tropics.
• As a result, India's climate is tropical as well as subtropical.
