The factors which affect the climate mainly include the status of latitudes, distance from sea coast, mountain barriers, sea currents, direction of winds, height from sea level and turbulence. Inequality is found in the distribution of temperature according to the latitudinal extent, due to which, tropical, temperate and polar climate zones are formed.
Due to predominance of moisture in the regions near the sea, moist climate is found; and dry climate is found in the inland regions. Sea currents, due to their nature, produce humidity. As the height increases from the sea level, the nature of climate varies due to the decrease in temperature. The terrestrial or oceanic nature of winds is also a determinant factor of the climate.
