GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -Due to the curvature of the earth the amount of solar energy received varies according to different latitudes. Thus latitudes affect the climate in this way. At higher altitudes there is decrease in temperature.

Detailed explanation-2: -The temperature of a place decreases with increasing altitude from the earth’s surface. Since the direct source of atmospheric heat lies at the surface of the earth, the higher we ascend in the atmosphere, the lower the temperature is.

Detailed explanation-3: -The temperature characteristics of a region are influenced by natural factors such as latitude, elevation and the presence of ocean currents. The precipitation characteristics of a region are influenced by factors such as proximity to mountain ranges and prevailing winds.
