Question

Give a geographical reason for the following:

Jaipur has a higher annual range of temperature than Goa.

Answer 1

Jaipur has a higher annual range of temperature than Goa because Jaipur is located inland, away from the moderating influence of the sea, while Goa is close to the sea which moderates its temperature. The sea heats up and cools down more slowly than land, leading to smaller temperature variations in coastal areas like Goa. Therefore, Jaipur experiences greater temperature extremes between summer and winter than Goa does.
