Small Introductory paragraph on the topic – Range of Temperature – Chapter – The Atmosphere – World Geography
The range of temperature refers to the difference between the highest and lowest temperature recorded over a specific period. It is commonly categorized into diurnal range (daily) and annual range (yearly). Various factors such as latitude, altitude, distance from the sea, cloud cover, and wind patterns influence the temperature range of a place. Understanding temperature ranges is important for studying weather conditions, climate zones, agriculture, and human adaptation in different environments. Regions like deserts and continental interiors usually show a wide temperature range, while coastal and equatorial areas tend to have a narrow range.
