2. Rainfall

3. Nearness to sea etc

Answer 2

Explanation:

Factors influencing the climate of India:

1) LATITUDE - Due to the curvature of the Earth, the amount of solar energy received is different according to the latitudes.

2) ALTITUDE - As we go higher, temperature generally decreases (From equator to poles) as the atmosphere becomes less dense.

3) PRESSURE AND WIND SYSTEM - They depend on the latitude and altitude of a place, thus influencing the rainfall patterns.

4) DISTANCE FROM SEA - The sea has a moderating effect on the climate. As distance from sea increases, this effect decreases and places experience extreme weather conditions (continentality).

5) OCEAN CURRENTS - They affect the climate of the coastal areas with the onshore winds.
