INDIAN GEOGRAPHY

Detailed explanation-1: -The two most important factors in the climate of an area are temperature and precipitation. The yearly average temperature of the area is obviously important, but the yearly range in temperature is also important. Some areas have a much larger range between highest and lowest temperature than other areas.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -The main factors that affect precipitation include prevailing winds, the presence of mountains, and seasons. Prevailing winds carry warm, moist air or cool air over the land. A mountain range in the path of prevailing winds will influence where precipitation falls.

Detailed explanation-4: -Although many factors combine to influence weather, the four main ones are solar radiation, the amount of which changes with Earth’s tilt, orbital distance from the sun and latitude, temperature, air pressure and the abundance of water.

Detailed explanation-5: -Climate is determined by the long-term pattern of temperature and precipitation averages and extremes at a location. Climate descriptions can refer to areas that are local, regional, or global in extent.
