ALTITUDE

  • As we go from surface of earth to higher elevations atmospheric temperature decreases.
  • Atmosphere get heated from below

NEARNESS OF OCEAN

  • The range of temperature will be high at places away from the sea and will be moderate at places close to the sea.
  • This is because heating of land causes wind to blow from sea to land and cooling of land causes wind to blow from land to sea.

WINDS

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