Detailed Solution

Longitude is not the climatic control of a place. As longitude shows the location and not the climatic controls of a place. Just like that, latitude decides the amount of sunlight a region receives. The temperature of a place decreases on moving north and south from the Equator. The altitude of a place heavily influences the climate of the region. Higher altitude regions like hilltops and mountains have a lesser temperature, making them cooler. It is the reason why hill stations are cooler during summer. The pressure and wind system of a place are dependent on the altitude and latitude of the place. It influences the amount of precipitation received by the region. Distance from the sea, relief and ocean currents are other factors on which the climate of a region depends.
