Q. Which of the geographical factors affect climate?

1. Distance from sea.
2. Direction of prevailing wind
3. Mountains
4. Distance from equator.

Select the correct answer from the codes given below:
Answer: All of the above
Notes: The sea affects the climate. Coastal areas are cooler and wetter than the inland areas. Warm ocean currents make the climate warm and wet. The direction of the prevailing winds from the sea/ocean side bring rain to coastal areas and dry weather to inland areas. Mountains receive more rainfall than low lying areas because the temperature on top of mountains is lower than sea level. The distance from the equator affects the climate of a place. The equator receives the more sunlight than anywhere else on the earth.
