Question

India is a land of diverse climate. Illustrate your answer with suitable example

Answer 1

Example 1:  For example, the Himalayan Mountains in the north play the role of a barrier to the freezing katabatic winds that blow south through India from Central Asia. The Himalayas keep North India warmer, or at least only mildly cold during winter, and keep the same region fairly hot during the summer.

Example 2: In summer, the mercury occasionally touches 50 °C in some parts of Rajasthan desert, whereas it may be around 20 °C in Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir.

Example 3: On a winter night, temperature at Drass in Jammu and Kashmir may be as low as —45° C.
Thiruvananthapuram, on the other hand, may have a temperature of 22°C.

Example 4: Also there is a wide variation between day and night temperatures, e.g. In the Thar^desert the day temperature may rise of50°C and drop down to near 15°C the same night. On the other hand, there is hardly any difference in the day and night temperatures in the Andaman and Nicobar islands or in Kerala.

Answer 2

Answer:

India is a land of diverse climate, ranging from tropical in the south to temperate and alpine in the Himalayan north. The country's climate is strongly influenced by the Himalayas and the Thar Desert, both of which drive the monsoons that provide most of India's rainfall.

Explanation:

Examples:

1. In the northern part of India, temperatures can range from sub-zero in winter to over 40°C (104°F) in summer. The mountainous regions experience heavy snowfall during winter months while areas near the coast have milder winters with less precipitation.

2. In central India, temperatures range from around 25°C (77°F) in winter to 45°C (113°F) in summer. This region experiences hot dry summers and cooler winters with some rain.

3. In southern India, temperatures range from around 20°C (68°F) in winter to 35°C (95°F) in summer. This region experiences hot humid summers and milder winters with some rain.

4. In eastern India, temperatures range from around 15°C (59°F) in winter to 40°C (104°F) in summer. This region experiences hot humid summers and cooler winters with some rain or snowfall at higher elevations.
