उत्तर
The main factors that affect the climate of Asia are :
- Size and latitudinal extent: Asia is the largest continent with a large east-west extent. Also, it stretches across the torrid, temperate, and frigid heat zones of the earth.
- Distance from the sea: Many parts of Asia are far away from the maritime influence of the seas and oceans and experience extreme conditions and continental climate. Places closer to the coasts enjoy the equable or maritime climate.
- Relief features : like mountain ranges of Asia extend in the east-west direction and form barriers to the moisture-laden winds and the cold winds.
- Wind: Moisture bearing winds from the south and cold winds of the north affect the climate of the places.
- Ocean Currents: The cold Oya Siwo and the warm Kuro Siwo ocean currents affect the temperatures of the coastal regions of Japan.
