Answer:

1)Latitude: Due to the round shape of the Earth, the amount of solar energy received varies according to latitude. As a result, air temperature decreases from the equator towards the poles.

2)Altitude: As one moves up to the higher altitudes, the atmosphere becomes less dense and temperature decreases. Therefore, hills are the cooler during summers.

3) Pressure and winds: Pressure and wind system of an area depend on the latitude and altitude of the place. Thus, it influences the temperature and rainfall pattern.

4)Distance from the sea: If the region is close to the sea, it makes the temperature moderate but if it is away from the sea, it experiences extreme weather conditions.

5)Ocean currents: Ocean currents alongwith the onshore winds affect the climate of a coastal area. Any coastal area with warm or cold currents flowing past it, will become warm or cold if the winds are onshore.

6)Relief: High mountains act as barriers for cold and hot winds. They may also cause precipitation if they lie in the path of rain-bearing winds. The leeward side of mountains remains dry, whereas the windward side is able to receive rain.

QUESTION

Name all the six major controls of the climate of any place.

ANSWER

  1. Latitude It depends on how close or how far it is to the equator. This is the most important, and it is based on the concentration of sunlight and the area that it affects.
  2. Ocean currents Certain ocean currents have different temperatures. Warm ocean currents warm the air above it, which warms the coast. Cold ocean currents cool the air above it, which cools the coast. This helps keep the coast at a consistent temperature.
  3. Wind and air masses Heated ground causes air to rise which results in lower air pressure. As it rises it cools and descends to the ground resulting in high air pressure. These air masses absorb the climate of the air below it.
  4. Elevation The higher up you are, the colder and drier it will be. When air rises it expands due to low air pressure which causes it to cool.
  5. Relief The differences in the elevation inland. As air is forced to rise over a piece of land (e.g., a mountain) the temperature decreases and condensation increases. As it condensates water droplets get bigger and heavier and are forced to fall.
  6. Nearness to water The water heats up and cools down slower than land does, having a moderating effect. On colder days, the water heats up the land, whereas on hotter days, the land is cooled down by the water.
