Mention the latitudunal extent of India. Explain its significane
Answers
Answer:
the latitudinal extents of the main land is about 30 degree. It influences the duration of day and night as one moves from north to south . It influences the duration of day and night as one moves from north to south. The Tropic of Cancer divides India into almost two equal parts.
Explanation:
The latitudinal degree impacts day and night, as one moves from south to north. So, the answer is The latitudinal degree of India is 37∘6′N to 8∘4′N.
India is a vast country. Lying entirely in the Northern hemisphere (Figure 1.1) the main land extends between latitudes 8°4'N and 37°6'N and longitudes 68°7'E and 97°25'E.
The latitudinal extent and its implications:
The Tropic of Cancer passes almost halfway through the country. Thus half of the country to the south of the Tropic of Cancer is situated in the Tropical or Torrid zone and the other half lying north of the Tropic of Cancer falls in the Subtropical zone.
