Question

How is the climate near the sea coast of India?

Answer 1

• Climate affects diet, lifestyle, and behaviour of people.
• For example, people living in dry regions like Rajasthan have flat terraces on their houses for storing water during rains.
• People of north India wear woollen clothes to protect themselves from chilling cold.
• People of south India prefer cotton clothes to protect themselves from heat whereas people living in desert regions wear loose cotton clothes to protect themselves from heat and blow off dust easily from the others. Also, they wear cotton turbans or tie cotton cloth on their head to get protection against heat and dust.
• Due to favourable conditions in north India, farming is seen more in these regions.
• The shepherd community wanders place to place so that they can feed their animals properly in the dry regions.
• Due to different climatic conditions, Gujarat grows wheat, whereas Tamil Nadu, Kerala and West Bengal grow rice.
• Manne industry has developed in regions having coastline.
