Question
Why is the climate of Mahabaleshwar cool?
Answer in Brief
Solution
- The height of a place above the sea-level affects its temperature.
- The earth’s surface gets heated due to the heat from the sun. The air close to the surface of earth gets heated first and later one by one the layers of air at higher elevation starts heating up.
- Hence, as we move upwards from the sea-level, the temperature of the air starts decreasing.
- Mahabaleshwar is a hill station located at a high altitude above the sea-level. Hence, the climate of Mahabaleshwar is cool.
