Main Body

Factors responsible for uneven distribution of temperature:

Geographical factors:

1Insolation on earth's surface

(a) More energy on equator (use energy [illegible])

(b) More energy at poles

2Distribution of land mass

(a) Northern Hemisphere has more land than south and need, more [illegible] temperature

(b) Perihelion & Aphelion

Anthropogenic factors:

1Urban Heat Island effect

(a) More temperature in urban areas

2Climate change

(a) Recent extreme climate event in southern Europe (Italy, Spain)

3Development

(a) More developed nations => more CO2 emissions

(b) More amenities => more emissions

Other reasons:

1Aerosol formation
2Positive climate reinforcing

(a) Glaciers (b) Absence of water bodies

3Continentality effects

All these factors are responsible for uneven temperature distribution
