Detailed Solution

The climate of a region is influenced by the latitude, ocean currents and relief features.
The amount of sunlight received varies with latitude due to the earth's curvature. As a result, the air temperature reduces from the equator to the poles. Ocean currents and onshore winds influence the climate of the coastal regions. For instance, any coastal area with warm or cool currents flowing past it will be warmed or allowed to cool if the winds are onshore. High mountains act as barriers to cold or hot winds; if they are high enough and in the path of rain-bearing winds, they may also cause precipitation. Mountains on the leeward side remain relatively dry.
