CLIMATE

CLIMATE It is well known that the tall Himalayas protect us from the icy cold wind coming from the North Pole. Why is the wind from the South Pole unable to reach India? Here , it is a different story. Because of the position of the Sun , whose rays fall vertically in the equatorial region, the water from the ocean produces huge quantities of vapour which rise to the skies. The wind from both poles meet at this region and help this upward flow. As the clouds rise , they precipitate as rains. All the year round , there is rain here . There is thick growth of forest and the temperature is humid . Continuous rain cools the atmosphere.
