उत्तर
Factors affecting the climate of India are :
- Latitude — The areas close to the equator, i.e. southern India, has a warm and equable climate. The northern India which is away from the equator has extreme climate-hot in summer and cold in the water.
- Height above sea level — Temperature decreases with an increase in height above sea level. Very low temperatures are recorded in high Himalayan regions and Udhagamandalam (Ooty) and Kodaikanal in the Western Ghats.
- Northern Mountains — They prevent the cold winds of Central Asia from entering India and hence India is protected from severe winters. They also prevent the rain-bearing monsoon winds from leaving the country and thus allowing the country to receive sufficient rainfall.
- Distance from the Sea — Places in the interior like Punjab, Haryana, and Rajasthan have very hot summers and cold dry- winters as they are far from the influence of the sea. Places near the coast, such as Mumbai and Chennai, have moderate summers and winters.
