How does climate affect the communication and transpotation?

Answer 1

Your climate can affect transportation and communication a lot! For example, if you live in a climate that has a lot of snow and many cloudy days, vehicles have to be used almost exclusively for transportation. Communication could also be interrupted if the clouds got in the way of cell phone signals. On the other hand, if you have a climate that is generally sunny and warm, more transportation can be done on foot or bicycle and there is few worries of interrupted cell phone signals.

I know in Northern Canada, climate and transportation are very intertwined. When the weather is cold enough, a lot of trucking of supplies to northern towns are done over frozen lakes. When a storm comes in the winter time, these towns can be completely separated from the rest of the world. Communication through mail can't happen until the storm has cleared, and the clouds get in the way of satellite transmissions.

I hope these examples help!
