the monsoons bring so much rain that * fields of rice are flooded, * drains can't cope and streets remain flooded for days * houses are swept away by flooding or landslides * streets are filled with rubbish as services can't work properly * methods of transport are destroyed or can't work the landscape is flooded but when the waters have drained away, the fields are lush and green.
The Sacramento Valley does not have a west coast marine climate mainly because it is located inland and shielded from the moderating influence of the Pacific Ocean. This results in greater temperature fluctuations, hotter summers, and colder winters compared to areas with a marine climate closer to the coast.
The climate of the Huang He (Yellow River) Valley is characterized by hot summers and cold winters, with limited rainfall that is mostly concentrated in the summer months. The region experiences frequent droughts and flooding due to the erratic nature of the river flow and the lack of infrastructure to manage water resources effectively. These environmental challenges have historically influenced agricultural practices and settlement patterns in the valley.
The Central Valley of California receives an average of 10-20 inches of rainfall annually. However, the region also relies heavily on irrigation from rivers and aqueducts to support agriculture due to its semi-arid climate.
The Central Valley of California receives an average of 11-20 inches of rain annually. However, precipitation levels can vary from year to year due to factors such as drought and climate variability.
The driest place in California is typically the Death Valley region, which is known for its extreme arid climate and high temperatures. This area receives very little rainfall each year, making it one of the driest places in North America.
the hot climate provided heat for the crops
There are various opinions as to what happened to the Indus valley civilization. Probably them most held is that climate change (disappearance of the monsoons) resulted in a migration to the east but in smaller more isolated towns.
the climate in the central valley is mainly hot and dry
The climate of Death Valley is that of a hot, dry desert.

Yes, climate did have an impact on the Aztec culture. The Aztecs adapted their agricultural practices to the local climate and geography, relying heavily on a system of chinampas, or floating gardens, to grow crops in the marshy areas of the Valley of Mexico. The changing climate could have contributed to periods of drought or flooding, affecting their agricultural production and potentially leading to food scarcity.
I'm not sure but I think it's wind and water, or monsoons.
The advantages of living in the Indus Valley Civilization; there was running water, drainage systems, people could read and write, there was trade with other cultures, there was a government, and domestic animals such as cattle, and crops such as rice and cotton. The disadvantages of living in the Indus Valley Civilization; monsoons caused floods, and in the dry season the people and animals were too hot and hungry and thirsty.
The rich silt in the Indus River Valley primarily came from the Himalayas, where glacial meltwater and seasonal monsoons eroded the mountains, carrying sediment downstream. This silt was deposited along the riverbanks and in the floodplains, creating fertile agricultural land that supported the rise of early civilizations in the region. The combination of this nutrient-rich soil and a favorable climate contributed to the prosperity of the Indus Valley Civilization.
warm and sunny most of the time.
One is monsoons which destroyed crops, and another is that farmers in the Indus Valley could only plant crops in the areas where the water from the Indus was direct.
