What to Focus On
- Climate depends on temperature, rainfall, pressure, and winds.
- India extends from 8°N to 37°N and covers about 3214 km from north to south.
- The Tropic of Cancer divides India into north temperate and south tropical halves.
- Latitude divides India into contrasting climatic regions.
- Coastal areas have equable climate; interior areas have extreme climate.
- The Himalayas block cold winds and force monsoon winds to shed moisture.
- Monsoon means season and refers to seasonal wind reversal.
- India has four seasons based on monsoon variation.
- The southwest monsoon lasts from June to September.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
