write notes on climatic factors
Answers
The climatic factors are non-living factors which are responsible for determining the climatic conditions of an area. The climatic factors include light, temperature, humidity, precipitation, wind, fire, atmosphere etc. Light is the main source of energy in the earth for the existence of life.

Explanation:
Climatic factors:
1.Temperature
The temperature changes throughout the day. At mid-day the temperature gets hot, the land heats up, and air rises. In a coastal area when the air rises, it is replaced by cool air from the ocean. This creates a breeze. When evening comes, the ground cools and the air over the ocean is warmer. The breeze shifts to move towards the ocean.
2.Pressure
Atmospheric pressure is another important factor. There are large masses of high and low pressure across the Earth. There are also small changes in air pressure that affect you locally. In the borders between high and low pressures you will find storm fronts or smaller changes in weather: temperature, humidity, or cloud cover.
3.Cloud Cover
The number of clouds and the amount of dust and smog affect local climates by changing the temperature. Increased cloud cover decreases the amount of energy hitting the Earth from the Sun. This decrease in energy lowers temperatures. In an extreme example, something called nuclear winter covers the entire planet with clouds. With no sunlight getting through, the plants begin to die.
4.Humidity
Humidity is a measure of the water vapor in the surrounding air. As humidity increases, the chances of rain also increase. Thunderclouds can be created and violent storms can dump huge amounts of water on the land.
5.Winds
Wind speed is that last factor. In temperature we discussed on-shore and off-shore winds. Sometimes these can be nice slow breezes and other times very fast and destructive. The situations near the base of mountains where changes in temperature create winds that reach 80 miles per hour.
