Explain the implications of the latitudinal extent of India

  • Latitudinal extent of India-37 '6N & 8 '4N.
  • The latitudinal extent decide the duration of day and night and the weather conditions. This has a very direct implication on our daily lives.

what are the implications of the latitudinal extend of india?

india lies completely in the northern hemisphere

there is a difference between day and night 45 mins in kanyakumari and 5 hrs in jammu kashmir

tropic of cancer passes through indaia and divides the country into almost two equal halves.

its 100 percent correct ans.

 The tropic of cancer (23 Degree 30 Minutes North) divides

India into nearly two equal parts. The southern half lies in

the hot tropical zone whereas the northern half lies in the

warm temperate/ sub tropical zone.

ii. Temperature generally decreases with increasing latitude.

The tropical part (peninsular India) of India being near to the

equator has warm and tropical climatic conditions with no

distinct winter. The sub tropical part (northern India) has a

more or less extreme climate i.e. hot summers and cold

winters. This variation in climate from warm Kerala to cold

Kashmir is mainly due to large latitudinal extent.

iii. The difference in the duration of day and night also

increases from South to North. It is less than one hour

difference (about 45 minutes) at Kanyakumari but reaches

nearly 5 hours in the extreme north of Kashmir.

THE INDIAN UNION IS SITUATED BETWEEN ABOUT 8 DEGREE 4 'N AND 37 DEGRE  6 ' N. THIS NORTH SOUTH EXTENT IS  ABOUT 3200KM IN LENGTH ..THE SOUTHERN PARTS OF INDIA GETS MORE HEAT THAN NORTHERN PARTS OF INDIA .THE DIFFERENCE BETWWEEN THE DURATION OF DAY AND  NIGHTS IS FAR THAN IN THE NORTHERN PARTS THAN IN THE SOUTHERN PARTS .
