Question

Give reasons why:

The coastal areas of India do not experience significant variation in temperature between summer and winter months.

Answer 1

1. Moderating Effect of the Sea:
   • Coastal areas are near the sea, which heats up and cools down slowly.
   • This keeps the temperature stable, cool in summer and warm in winter.
2. Land and Sea Breezes:
   • Coastal areas have regular land and sea breezes that balance the temperature.
   • Sea breeze during the day cools the land; land breeze at night warms the coast.
