Earth would be much, much colder, as the sun could only shine on anywhere from 1/2 to 1/6 of the surface of the earth at one time. I am not saying this would be the only change, but this is one of the biggest / easiest to explain change I can think of. The earth couldn't possibly have the shape of a cube because it is way too massive; its own gravity would eventually force it into something closer to a sphere. But even if the land mass could be forced into a cube, the water and the atmosphere would not conform to that shape, and so there would be a very strange arrangement for oceans, etc. If the water were evenly distributed, it would tend to pool around the centers of the 6 faces of the cube. That would certainly have massive effects on the planet's weather. And the 8 "mountain" regions would very likely be completely uninhabitable. I think there would be little if any breathable atmosphere at those points.

The earth has survived for millions of year through fluctuations of heat, cold, severe weather etc.
Why does Earth have weather and climate?
Matter and energy.
Why do some climatologists think that climate change is causing extreme weather?
Temperature and temperature differences are among the key driving forces in weather on earth. If earth's climate changes then temperature patterns will change, which can shift the occurrence of weather events, including extreme weather. Additionally, heat is energy that powers some types of storm. The logic follows that warmer temperatures means more energy and thus more and stronger storms. However, the situation of climate change and how it affects storms is more complicated than that.
What is the climate zone of Africa?
a climate zones is an area on earth that has a certain climate or weather pattern.
Why would you not notice a change in climate?
Weather is the condition of the atmosphere at a certain time. The weather can change from day to day. Climate describes the average weather conditions in a region over a long period of time. The climate of an area includes the area's average temperature and amount of precipitation. ~ HOLT California Earth Science ~Evelyn Avalos Answer:when weather conditions stay at the same condition for a long period of time.
What are the importance of weather and climate?
Weather and climate are important because it helps to produce fresh water for the Earth. They also help the wind move air masses on the Earth's surface and creates the rise and fall of temperature.
Is lava a climate change?
No. Lava is molten rock on earth's surface. It is a geologic product rather than a product of weather or climate. However, massive outpourings of lava called flood basalts have been known to affect climate.
