Which of the following factors affect climate?
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C ocean currents
There are various factors that affect climate like latitude, altitude and ocean currents. As we move away from the equator to the poles, the intensity of sunlight received decreases due to the spherical shape of Earth. Hence, temperature decreases as latitude increases. As altitude increases, temperature decreases. Places close to the sea have a moderate climate, while places farther inland experience extreme weather conditions.
