Question

The latitudinal extent of india is responsible for the variation in the climatic conditions prevail in the country​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Northern plains lie to north of the Tropic of Cancer in the Temperate Zone. The winters are much colder. South India lies below the Tropic of Cancer, in the tropics and gets the direct rays of the sun.

Answer 2

India is the seventh-largest country in the world and lies entirely in the northern hemisphere.

Explanation:

• The latitude extent of India from south to north is 8°4'N to 37°6'N and west to east is between 68°7'E to 97°25'e in longitude.
• The temperature generally increases with a decrease in latitude. The regions of India nearer to the equator have low latitude. The places that are away from the equator having high latitude receive less amount of sunlight.
• The region close to the equator is warm because they receive a high amount of sunlight and the winters are not distinct. However, the northern region, also known as the sub-tropical region has a distinct climate either they are too hot or too cold. For example, in summer the temperature reaches 45°C- 50°C.
