Answers
Good Evening , heres your anser :
Following are the factors affecting climate :
1. Latitude: the tropic of cancer: The Tropic of Cancer passed through the middle of India and the country north of the line lies in the temperate belt and south of it in the tropical belt. However, the northern wall of the Himalayas prevents the influx of cold north wind. As a result, temperature does not fall appreciably over North Indian Plains even in winter. India is generally treated as a hot country.
2. Size: India is a vast country and it is natural that South India lying closer to the equator is warmer than the northern counterpart especially in winter.
3. Altitude: Although average temperature remains generally high throughout India, owing to altitudinal effect the Himalayas and other high mountains have lower temperatures even in summer.
4. Pressure winds: it is the pressure and surface winds, upper air circulation,and western cyclonic disturbances that greatly affect the climate.
Hope it helps you.
