India is located in the eastern hemisphere. The Tropic of Cancer (23 1/2° N) divides the country almost into two halves, running through the Rann of Kutch to Mizoram.
EFFECTS —
a. The part of India lying south of the Tropic Of Cancer enjoys tropical climate.
b. The part of the country north of the Tropic of Cancer experiences sub-tropical climate.
c. The pressure and wind system too are influenced by the latitudinal position of the country.
d. Rainfall is determined by the pressure and wind system. The jet streams, westerlies bring rainfall to North India. The rest of the country receives rainfall from the monsoons, i.e. tropical wind systems. Thus, different parts of the country receive rainfall during different times of the year.
