The sudden disappearance of the Solomon Islands was caused by a combination of rising sea levels due to climate change and tectonic plate movements, leading to the islands sinking beneath the ocean.
The landscape can modify climate by affecting factors like temperature, precipitation, and wind patterns. For example, mountains can create barriers that block or redirect wind and moisture, leading to different climate patterns on either side. Urban areas with concrete and asphalt can absorb and retain heat, creating "urban heat islands" that impact local temperatures.
