General Tips/Formulae for solving numerical given in chapter 7 – Climate

a) Study the climate data given below and answer the question that follow:

Station A

Month Jan Feb March April May June July Aug Sept Oct Nov Dec
o
C 14 18 23.5 28 31.5 30 29 27 28 22 19 16

cms. 20 2 --- --- --- 5 8 7 5 2 20 30

1) What is the mean annual temperature of station B?

Solution:

Mean annual temperature = Add up all the months temperatures ÷ 12

= 10 + 14 + 22.5 + 26 + 28 + 29 + 29 + 25 + 22 + 17 + 13 + 7 ÷ 12
= 242.5 ÷ 12

= 20.2°C
2) What is the annual range of temperature at station A?

Solution:

Annual range of temperature = Highest temperature - Lowest temperature


= 31.5°C - 14°C
= 17.5°C

3) Which of the two Stations has a greater influence of the sea? Give a reason for
your answer.

Solution:

The Station that has lower annual range of temperature has greater influence
of the sea. In the example given above the annual range of temperature of A =
17.5°C (worked out above).
The annual range of temperature of B =
29°C -7°C = 22°C.
Therefore, Station A has greater influence of the sea.

4) Which of these stations have more equable climate?

Solution:

This question is same as Question 2 but worded differently. The Station which
has lower annual range has more equable temperature. In this case it is Station
A.
4) What is the annual rainfall received at Station A and Station B?

Solution:

Annual rainfall = Add up all the months' rainfall.

The annual rainfall received at Station A =


0.5 + 5 + 30 + 48 + 75 +38 + 10 + 2
= 208.5 cm
Note: (Use the same formula for station B too).

5) Which winds bring most of the rainfall to Station A and Station B respectively?

Solution:
If the rainfall is more from June to September/October, then it is the south
west monsoon (as in the case of A). If the rainfall is more from November to
February, then it is north-east monsoon winds (as in the case of B).

6) On which coast of India does the station B lie? Give a reason for your answer.
Solution:
Station B lies on the east coast since it receives more rainfall from the north-
east monsoon winds from November to February than from June to
September.
a) Study the climate data given below and answer the question that follow:

Station A

Month Jan Feb March April May June July Aug Sept Oct Nov Dec
oC 21 22.6 26.3 29.2 29.7 27.5 25.1 24.5 24.8 25.5 22.5 20.5

cms. 0.1 0.1 0.5 1.5 2.7 11.4 16.7 9.0 13.4 9.0 2.7 0.3

Station B
oC 24.4 24.4 26.7 23.3 30.3 28.9 27.2 27.2 27.2 28.3 27.2 25.0

cms. 0.2 0.3 0.3 1.7 1.9 50.2 61.0 37.0 27.0 4.8 1.4 0.3

1. Presuming that the Station A and Station B are located in West India, state giving a
reason as to which of the two lies on the windward sides of the western ghats.

Solution:
Both Station A and Station B are located in West India (given in the question).
This means they receive rainfall from the south-west monsoon winds starting
from June to September. In order to know which of the two is on windward
side of the western ghats, check out the rainfall received in each of the month
from June to September for both the Stations. It will be noticed that Station B
has more rainfall in the above mentioned four months than Station A. This
proves that Station B is on the windward side and Station A is on the leeward
side.
