Horizontal distribution of temperature: Horizontal distribution of temperature means the latitudinal distribution of temperature. In this, the temperature from the equator to the poles is divided on the basis of latitude. Under this, the distribution of temperature is represented by the isotherms on a map.
Vertical distribution of temperature: The vertical distribution of temperature refers to the distribution of temperature in the various layers of the atmosphere, at different altitudes from the earth’s surface. The temperature normally decreases due to the elevation from the surface. The decrease in temperature is different at all places and it is not the same everywhere.
