Answer

  • Temperature distribution:
  • There are oceans and continents on the surface of the earth.
  • There are deserts, snow-capped regions, plains, forests, mountains, natural regions on the continents.
  • Different types of surfaces receive different amounts of sunlight.
  • Thus, the temperature of the atmosphere also varies.
$(1)$ Horizontal distribution of temperature:
  • The horizontal distribution of temperature on the earth's surface is influenced by factors such as latitude, distance from the ocean, ocean currents, wind direction, and altitude.
  • Temperatures are odd as the sun's rays move diagonally from the equator to the north or south poles.
  • The difference between the daily period and the annual period of temperature is more in continental land areas.
  • While the temperature of the land areas near the coast remains the same.
  • The cold and warm currents of the oceans that affect the temperature of the coastal areas of that region.
  • In areas where cold currents flow, the temperature of the coastal region is low and in areas where hot currents flow, the temperature of the coastal region is high.
  • In addition, areas where y is hot and dry winds have high temperatures and where cold and dry winds are y.
  • Temperatures remain high in that area.
  • Factors such as forest size, site height, soil type, cloud size, etc. also affect the temperature distribution.
