B.  Variation in the amount of rainfall in different places.`

The tropical monsoon climate experiences abundant rainfall like that of the tropical rain forest climate, but it is concentrated in the high-sun season.

A wet season from June to September, when the wind change in direction, the wind blow in the region of low pressure. Winds blow across the equator and blow over the oceans, they are warmer and carry a lot of moisture. They bring a lot of rain. Total rainfall can reach 600 mm

The Turan Type of regions experience extreme climate. It stretches from the Caspian, eastward towards the Pamirs, and from the northern edge of the Plateau of Iran northward, beyond the Sea of Aral, to the Kirghiz steppes. The climate is continental, with hot summers, cool winters and a low rainfall. Due to the availability of vast stretches of grassland, the most important occupation of people in this region is cattle and animal rearing.

The normal lapse rate for dry air as it rises is approximately 1 degree Celsius for every 165 meters of ascent.

The temperature recorded throughout the 24-hour period shows that there is a rhythmic rise and fall of temperature during a day. This phenomenon is called the daily cycle of temperature. The difference between the highest and lowest values of temperature recorded at a locality is referred to as the diurnal range or daily range of temperature.

Water is heated or cooled in a longer period of time than land.  Because of this peculiar characteristic of water, the coastal areas enjoy a moderate climate and the difference in temperature of the warmest and coldest months is not very large. The difference in day and night temperature is also less in the coastal area.

Temperature is a relative term implying a degree of molecular activity or heat of a substance. Temperature is recorded every day the difference between the maximum and minimum temperature for 24 hrs is called the range of temperature and the difference in mean temperature which recorded in the summer and winter is known as annual range of temperature.

Mercury or alcohol is used in the thermometers. A thermometer is a device that is used to measure the temperature. Alcohol thermometer and mercury thermometer are two types of thermometers that are composed of a bulb and a marked glass tube. The main difference between alcohol and mercury thermometer is that the bulb of mercury thermometer is filled with mercury whereas the bulb of alcohol thermometer is filled with alcohol. The alcohol thermometers are less toxic, whereas the mercury thermometers are highly toxic. 

In the continental area, the difference of temperature in the day and night is high. As the land gets heated quickly at the same time it cools down quickly. So during the day due to the sun, the temperature is high at the same time temperature is comparatively low at night because of the absence of Sun rays.

Significant Jurassic-age plant fossils, including petrified trees, have been discovered in the Hasdeo River basin in the Surguja district of Chhattisgarh, India.

Chenchu people are tribal groups lives in dense forests. They mostly depends on hunting and gathering. Their spoken language is Chenchu. This language is similar to Telugu, as it is from dravidian language family.
