heya mate here is your answer ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️
ALTITUDE - As we go higher, temperature generally decreases (From equator to poles) as the atmosphere becomes less dense. 3) PRESSUREAND WIND SYSTEM - They depend on the latitudeand altitude of a place, thus influencing the rainfall patterns. 4) DISTANCE FROM SEA - The sea has a moderating effect on the climate.
Prevailing global wind patterns. ...
Topography. ...
Effects of Geography. ...
Surface of the Earth. ...
Climate change over time.

factors affecting Indian climate are:
1. Latitude
• tropic of cancer almost divides the country in two equal parts from Rann of Kuchh to Mizoram
•the region lying in the south of tropic of cancer is tropical whereas region in North is in subtropical.
•therefore India receives both tropical as well as subtropical climate
2. Altitude
• India has mountains in North with average height of 6000m and coastal line of about 30m
•the Himalayas act as a barrier to entry winds in India from Central Asia.
• that's why it experiences mild winters as compared to Central Asia.
3. Pressure and Winds
• pressure and surface winds: India lies in the region of North easterly winds which originate from northern hemisphere and blow towards south but deflected to right due to corollis force. These winds carry small slits that's why don't affect India's rain.
• upper air circulation: winds travel from low pressure area to high pressure area. air moves from Indian ocean to south east direction crossing equator and turns right towards Indian subcontinent giving rain to it. the upper air circulation over warm oceans is called jet streams.
• Western disturbance: during the time of winters in India cyclone formation takes place in Mediterranean Sea whose winds are very powerful that after crossing Pakistan, Afghanistan they finally reach Jammu and Kashmir leads to rainfall in winters there.
