Question 2(iii)

Which part of India does experience the highest diurnal range of temperature and why?

Answer

Thar desert has the highest diurnal range of temperature with daytime highs around 50°C and nighttime lows of 15°C. This is due to the rapid heating and cooling of its sand and its inland location far away from the moderating influence of the sea.
