FACTORS INFLUENCING THE DISTRIBUTION OF TEMPERATURE

LATITUDE

• The angle of incidence of the sun’s rays becomes more inclined on approaching the poles . There occurs more energy loss as the sun’s rays have more through the atmosphere owing to the inclination.

ALTITUDE

• The temperature is comparatively low at places situated much above the sea level

NEARNESS OF OCEAN

• Temperature remains moderate at places close to the sea .This is because the heating of land causes wind to blow from sea to land and cooling of land causes wind from land to sea.

WINDS

• The warm and the cold winds can respectively raise or lower the temperature of the places through which they pass.
