Latitude:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The intensity of temperature depends on the latitude. It is more intense in lower latitudes than at higher latitudes.<\/li>\n<li>In India, the Southern part lies \u00a1n the tropical zone, closer to the equator; it has higher average temperature than the northern part.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>2. Land &#8211; Water relationship:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The water bodies absorb and losses heat more slowly than land.<\/li>\n<li>Due to this the formation of land and sea breezes influence the climate of coastal region.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>3. Relief:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Relief or altitude of a region influences the climate of the area.<\/li>\n<li>Several hill stations have cool climate even during summer months.<br \/>\nEg: Simia, Nainital, Mussone, Kodaikanal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>4.
