India's peninsular shape and the distribution of land and water bodies significantly influence its climate. Considering the latitudinal and longitudinal extent, which of the following statements accurately describes its geographical impact?
India's peninsular shape and the distribution of land and water bodies significantly influence its climate. Considering the latitudinal and longitudinal extent, which of the following statements accurately describes its geographical impact?
- The proximity to the Indian Ocean has minimal impact on the climate of the coastal regions.
- The longitudinal extent causes uniform weather patterns across India due to equal distribution of solar radiation.
- The latitudinal extent results in a uniform distribution of vegetation and biodiversity across the country.
- The latitudinal extent primarily affects the temperature, with lower latitudes experiencing higher temperatures and vice versa. (correct)
Imagine a scenario where a new island emerges in the Indian Ocean due to tectonic activity. How would this event potentially affect India's total coastal length, and what factors need to be considered to accurately recalculate it?
Imagine a scenario where a new island emerges in the Indian Ocean due to tectonic activity. How would this event potentially affect India's total coastal length, and what factors need to be considered to accurately recalculate it?
- The emergence of a new island would not affect India's total coastal length as it is a fixed geographical feature.
- The total coastal length would increase, and the calculation must include the coastline of the new island, considering its shape and size. (correct)
- The total coastal length would decrease as the mainland's coastline erodes to accommodate the new island.
- The total coastal length would remain the same, but theExclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) would decrease.
