Question
Give reason for the following:
The temperature of Delhi is less than that of Chennai in December.
Advertisements
Solution
Because Delhi is located in the Temperate zone, beyond the Tropic of Cancer, its December temperatures are lower than Chennai's. Thus, it receives the sun's slanting rays in December. However, Chennai receives vertical sun beams all year round because it is situated in a torrid zone. As a result, Delhi experiences lower temperatures in December.
