Question

Tell the factors influencing temperature.

Answer 1

Factors influencing temperature are:

1. Latitude: Places near the Equator are hotter, while places near the poles are colder.
2. Altitude: Temperature decreases as height above sea level increases.
3. Distance from the sea: Coastal areas have moderate temperatures, while inland areas have greater temperature variations.
4. Ocean currents: Warm currents raise coastal temperatures, while cold currents lower them.
5. Winds: Hot or cold winds can increase or decrease the temperature of a place.
6. Slope and direction of land: Slopes receiving direct sunlight are warmer than shaded slopes.
