What effects do nearness to the sea and height above mean sea level have on the climate?

उत्तर
- Effects of nearness to the sea on the climate:
- Sea water gets evaporated due to the heat of the sun and thus water vapour gets mixed in the air.
- Thus, the air near the sea with higher temperature holds more amount of moisture.
- As a result, the climate near the sea is humid.
- As we move away from the sea, the moisture content in the air gradually decreases and the climate becomes dry.
- Effect of height above mean sea level on climate:
- Earth’s surface gets heated due to the heat of the sun.
- Thus, the air close to the surface of the earth becomes hot and the heat gets transferred vertically to the adjacent upper layers of the air.
- Thus, as we move upward from the sea level, the temperature of air decreases.
- Hence the temperature of the places at a higher altitude from sea-level is lower than the temperature of the places at a lower height.
