Question

paragraph on climatic conditions of india

Answer 1

Climate may be defined as a complex of meteorological conditions which exists in any given area and imparts an individuality of the landscape of that area. It is the sum total of weather condi­tions and variations over a large area for a long period of time (more than thirty years). Among the numerous meteorological elements precipitation, temperature, relative humidity and evaporation are the most important.

The word ‘Monsoon’ is derived from the Arabic word ‘Mausim’ Monsoon is flow pattern of the general atmosphere circulation over a wide geographical area, in which there is a clearly dominant wind in one direction in every port of the region concerned, but in which this prevailing direction is reversed (or almost reversed) from winter to summer and from summer to winter.”

ADVERTISEMENTS:

 

The monsoons are the key to understand the climate of India. Locational and physiographic factors have greatly influenced the climatic characteristics of the country. Though its considerable portion belongs to the sub-tropical zone as a whole, it shares the characteristics of tropical monsoon climate, mainly because of the Himalayas, functioning as an effective meteorological barrier.

The highest rainfall recorded at Cherrapunji (more than 1000 cm) is the result of the inter play of the vigorous sweep of the monsoon currents and the funnel-shaped alignment of the adjoining ranges. The occasional sweeps of the westerly disturbances after having transcended the north­western range are oriented to the Great Plains and the northern margins of the peninsular foreland.

It may however be noted that the Himalayas themselves represent the climatic mosaic with tropical to alpine or polar variations. Marine influences are also significant due to the peninsular projec­tions of the landmass into the Indian Ocean. India is a par excellence, a tropical monsoon country

$\huge\mathfrak\pink{Answer}$

_______________________

The climate of India is described as a monsoon type. This type of climate is found in south and southeast Asia. However, there are variations in climatic conditions in the country itself. The coastal regions of India show the least amount of difference between the temperatures of night and day. In the interior regions, the difference in temperatures of day and night is huge.
