Your best friend visited Srinagar during the summer, while you visited the Taj Mahal for a historical adventure. While sharing your experiences with one another, you were surprised to learn that at the same time, the temperature in Srinagar was 22°C, whereas in Agra it was 38°C!
What according to you can be the reason for this difference?
Answer
The temperature difference between Srinagar and Agra is mainly due to the variation in their altitudes. According to the normal lapse rate, temperature decreases with increasing elevation. Since Srinagar is located at a much higher altitude than Agra, it experiences cooler temperatures, even during the summer.
