As altitude increases, air pressure and density decrease. The thinner air at higher altitudes cannot retain heat efficiently, making temperatures drop. That’s why mountain regions are cooler than plains. Altitude significantly influences local climate and supports snow in high elevations. Class ...

Ooty is at a higher altitude than Coimbatore. As altitude increases, temperature decreases due to lower air pressure and less heat retention. Although both are at similar latitudes, elevation causes Ooty to have cooler temperatures while Coimbatore remains hotter at ...
Kanniyakumari is near the Equator, so it receives direct sunlight throughout the year, making it warm. Srinagar lies at a higher latitude and altitude, receiving slanting rays and having a cooler climate. Thus, geographical location and elevation influence their temperature ...
Polar regions receive slanting sunrays that spread over a larger surface and pass through more atmosphere, losing energy. Equatorial regions get direct rays that are more concentrated. Hence, polar areas stay cold, while equatorial zones are hot and humid year-round. Class ...
Animals and birds sense environmental changes. For example, ants carry eggs to higher ground before rain. Frogs croak loudly when rain is near. Birds flying low may signal a storm. These behaviours act as natural weather indicators and have been ...
