Why are hill places like Shimla cooler than plains?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Due to higher altitude

The direct answer is option A: hill places such as Shimla are cooler because of their higher altitude. Altitude is height above sea level. In general, temperature falls as we move upward in the atmosphere, so air at a high hill station is cooler than air over a nearby low plain. The difference is mainly explained by altitude, although latitude, winds, slope and local conditions can also influence actual weather. Option A is correct because Shimla is much higher than most plains. Option B is wrong because being near the sea is not the main reason for Shimla’s coolness, and the option says ‘very near’. Option C is wrong because Shimla does receive rainfall or snowfall at different times; absence of rainfall is not the cause. Option D is wrong because language has no direct control over temperature. Exam cue: for a cooler hill station, first write higher altitude.
