  2. PRESENTED BY: ASHUTOSH KARASHARMA MISHRA Address: (Personal) At: Srikrisna Nagar Po: Loisingha Dist: Bolangir Orissa-767020 Address: (Official) At: JNV, Koraput Po: OMP Line Dist: Koraput Orissa Phone No: 9437146288 E-mail: canyon_geo@yahoo.com Tiger_sir@rediffmail.com

  3. Familiarize students with the terms, key concepts and basic principles associated with the climate of India. • Provide them idea about the mechanism of Indian monsoon. • Study the climate of India through the understanding and analysis of local climate. • Explore the causative factor of the spatial variations in the climate of the country. • Understand and analyze the variation of climatic phenomenon in the cycle of seasons. • Make students aware of the change in climate (global warming) at local level to understand it at national and global level.

  4. Watch Out Weather News……………. Hot weather season Monsoon season Tropical Cyclone Cold Weather Season Four Videos Embedded: Please right click over the dark square to choose Play or Stop one after another.

  6. Why does weather change spatially & temporally? Let us examine…

  7. Drass -450C in December night Tawang 190C in June 550C temperature in June Thar desert Diurnal range of temperature 300C Jaisalmer receives 9cm rainfall Cherrapunji & Mawsynram have 1080cm rain Tiruvanantapuram & Chennai 200C in December night Kerala Diurnal range of temperature 80C MONSOON REGIME IS THE UNITY OF INDIA

  8. MORE DIVERSITIES………………….. • Churu in Rajasthan records a temperature of 50°C or more on a June day. • Snow fall over the Himalayas. • Most parts of India receives rainfall during June to September. • Tura of Meghalaya receives rainfall in a single day is equal to the total rainfall of Ten years in Jaisalmer of Rajastan. • It is 19°C in Tawang (Arunachal Pradesh) on the same day. • Only rainfall over rest of India. • Tamilnadu coast remains dry during these months. • Very low rainfall in North west Himalayas and western Rajastan which is equal to 10cm per year. MONSOON REGIME IS THE UNITY OF INDIA

  9. Lets divide the class into five groups namely A, B, C, D and E. • Collect the data of temperature and rainfall of different cities of India from web site www.allrainfallreports.com . • Collect the rainfall and temperature data of your town and compare it with the data of other cities of India. • Make a comparative study of temperature and rainfall data of different districts of Orissa. (Source- Climatological survey of Orissa 1987-2003 & District statistical handbooks) • Write about the climate of your district and upload it to www.climateofindia.pbwiki.com . • Make a power point presentation of all the activities you have done.

  24. RHYTHM OF SEASONS HOT WEATHER RETREATING MONSOON COLD WEATHER SOUTH WEST MONSOON Let us discuss each of them individually

  25. Tropical Cyclone COLD WEATHER SEASON • It extends from December to February. • Vertical sun rays shift towards southern hemisphere. • North India experiences intense cold where as this season is not well defined in south India. • Light wind blow makes this season pleasant in south India. • Occasional tropical cyclone visit eastern coast in this season. Rhythm of Seasons

FAQ

  45. KOLKOTA MUMBAI CHENNAI CLIMATE CHANGE & INDIA • India has long coast line and rise of sea level will submerge large area. • A population of 7.1 million living in coastal areas will be affected. • Production of crops like wheat, rice etc will decrease. • The natural disasters like cyclone, floods and drought will increase in frequency as well as intensity.

  46.
