Question

Name the type of climate prevailing over India. Mention any two factors responsible for it.

Answer 1

The type of climate prevailing over India is the tropical monsoon climate.

Two factors responsible for this type of climate are:

1. India lies largely in the tropical zone.
2. The Himalayas protect India from cold winds from the north and influence the monsoon by obstructing the south-west monsoon winds, which brings heavy rainfall to the northern plains of India.
