Despite an overall unity in the general pattern, there are perceptible   regional  variations  in climatic conditions within the country. Temperature  and precipitation  are two important elements and   they vary from place to place and season to season. Read the above passage and answer the following questions (a) How can you say that the climate of India is a Monsoon type? (b) What lesson/values have you learnt from the given passage?    

Answer:

                  (a) Indian Peninsula is covered on three sides with the Arabian Sea, Bay of Bengal and Indian Ocean. This is the reason why much rainfall is received by our country. In the rainy season, monsoon winds pick up enough moisture to reach most of the country. Western disturbances cause much needed winter rains. Even in peak summers, rainfall is observed in some areas. Hence, we can say that the climate of India is 'Monsoon type'. (b) From this passage I have learnt, that there is climatic variation throughout the country. Precipitation and temperature are responsible for the difference in climatic conditions.
