Name the type of climate prevailing over india mention two factors responsible for it
Answers
Explanation:
The climate around the world is affected by many different factors that lead to different parts of the Earth experiencing differing climates. The following factors influence the India’s climate:
Latitude
The Tropic of Cancer passes through the middle of the country from the Rann of Kuchchh in the west to Mizoram in the east. Almost half of the country, lying south of the Tropic of Cancer, belongs to the tropical area. All the remaining area, north of the Tropic, lies in the sub-tropics. Therefore, India’s climate has characteristics of tropical as well as subtropical climates.
Altitude
India has mountains to the north, which have an average height of about 6,000 metres. India also has a vast coastal area where the maximum elevation is about 30 metres. The Himalayas prevent the cold winds from Central Asia from entering the subcontinent. It is because of these mountains that this subcontinent experiences comparatively milder winters as compared to central Asia.
Pressure and Winds
Answer:
The two types of climate prevalent in India are the Tropical monsoon climate and the Summer monsoon.
The factor responsible is because of its geographical positioning of the country.
Because of the presence of the Himalayan ranges, the cool winds do not enter the Northern region of India and hence these areas do not freeze.
