different places.
Answers
Reasons for daily temperature variations
1. The solar energy received by any region varies with time of day, with seasons, and with latitude that causes temperature variations.
2. Variation with latitude: The angle of incident of the solar radiation varies with shape of the Earth. The Sun is more over headed in equatorial regions as compare to the higher latitudes. This is the only region temperature vary from Equator to the poles.
2. Cloud obstructs the receipt and loss of insolation causes low temperature in clouded region.
3. Clear sky in desert region causes high temperature because insolation is received without obstruction in the day and lost without obstruction in the night.
4. Snow bound region absorbs less and reflects more insolation causes low temperature.
5. High altitude region have high temperature range because in this region air is thin which brings great loss of insolation in the night and no obstruction in the receipt of insolation in the day.
6. Distance from the sea: The interior regions of the landmasses receive higher temperature whereas nearest to the sea have moderate temperatures due sea breezes.
7. Warm and cold winds disturb the temperature range.
