How do mountains and seasonal winds affect the climate of India?

Answer 1

The great Himalayan range obstructs the bitter cold winds from Siberia from entering the Indian subcontinent.

Answer 2

The Himalayas affect the climate of India by blocking cold air blowing from the North that comes from Siberia and Central Asia. Without the Himalayas, India (except for the parts of India that are in the Himalayas) would get cold temperatures in the winter months.

Answer 3

* As, one goes from the surface of the earth to higher altitudes, the atmosphere becomes less dense and temperature decreases.

* The hills are therefore cooler during summer.

* As we go higher and higher the temperature decreases 1 degree for every 165Km in height.

Answer 4

The Western and Eastern Ghats are the two smaller mountain ranges that stretch down India's coast. As the summer monsoon rises over the Western Ghats, moisture in the air causes heavy rain. As a result of the western Ghat's rain shadow, places to the East such as the Deccan Plateau are much drier.

Answer 5

The eastern and western ghats are small mountain ranges on the coastline of India. A lot of trade happens through these Coastlines. The western ghats distribute the southwest rainfall along the west so that the Deccan plateau isn't continuously precipitating.

Answer 6

Himalaya's affect Indian Climate. They alter the course of the winds coming in India from the north.
