Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
There are several factors influencing the climatic conditions of a place. Altitude, the height of a region above the mean sea level, is an important factor in determining the temperature of the place. The temperature decreases with increasing altitude. The hilly regions have higher altitudes as compared to the plains. The plains of India have a subtropical climate with varying day and night temperatures. It results in a diurnal temperature variation. On the other hand, the hilly regions have a prevailing cold climate due to their high altitude. The hill stations like Nainital, Darjeeling, and Shimla attract tourists for their pleasant and cool climate.
