Ans:<\/strong> Moisture.<\/p>

(B) Answer the following:<\/strong><\/p>

(1) Why is the climate of Mahabaleshwar cool ?
Ans:<\/strong> The climate of Mahabaleshwar is cool because it is situated at a high elevation. That\u2019s why, as we move upward from sea-level, the temperature of air decreases.<\/p>
