What are the Factors affecting the climate of Canada?

The main factors affecting the climate of Canada include its large size, diverse geography, presence of polar ice caps, ocean currents (such as the Gulf Stream and Labrador Current), prevailing wind patterns, and proximity to high-pressure systems. Elevation, latitude, and proximity to water bodies also play key roles in shaping Canada's varied climate patterns.


Why should all nations be responsible for effects of climate change?

Most nations have played some part in global warming and climate change. But, all nations with modern societies with automobiles and that use fossil fuel for heat or transportation contribute to climate change and are responsible for it to some degree. Whether they're responsible for it or not they'll suffer from it.


What is the relationship between climate and agriculture?

Climate directly influences agricultural productivity by affecting factors such as temperature, rainfall, and humidity. Changes in climate patterns can impact crop growth, pest populations, and water availability, leading to shifts in agricultural practices and crop yields. Sustainable agricultural practices can help mitigate the impacts of climate change on food production.


How can you use the calculation of the climate ratio to determine the climate type?

We can calculate the climate ratio to determine the climate type.if the climate ratio is less than 0.4 the climate type would be arid,if the climate ratio is between 0.4 to 0.8 climate ratio would be semirid ,if the climate ratio is between 0.8 to 1.2 climate type would be subhumid andif the climate ratio is greater than 1.2 climate type would be humid.The formula for climate ratio is p/Ep, wherep=precipitationEp=potential evapotranspiration.


Can rocks from the sea form mountains?

Yes, rocks from the sea can form mountains through the process of plate tectonics. When oceanic plates collide with continental plates, the oceanic plate is forced beneath the continental plate in a process called subduction. This can lead to the formation of mountain ranges such as the Andes in South America.

Does rural land have mountains?

Not necessarily. Rural land can have a variety of geographical features, including mountains, hills, valleys, plains, forests, and more. Whether or not rural land has mountains would depend on the specific location and topography of the area.


What can impact the climate of an area based on its geographical relief such as whether it is close to mountains or oceans?

Geographical relief significantly impacts climate by influencing temperature, precipitation, and wind patterns. Areas near mountains often experience orographic lift, where moist air is forced to rise, leading to increased precipitation on the windward side and dry conditions on the leeward side, known as rain shadows. Proximity to oceans moderates temperatures, resulting in milder climates with less temperature variation, while coastal areas often receive more rainfall due to the moisture from the ocean. Additionally, ocean currents can influence local climates by transporting warm or cold water, further affecting weather patterns.


Why is yeti such a mystery?

Yeti is a mystery because it is a creature that we're not 100% sure on, whether it exists or not. Yeti are said to live in areas with a cold climate and some mountains. I'm not sure whether they exist or not, that's most likely why it is such a mystery today.

What are geographical indicators for intellectual property rights?

Geographical indications are similar to trademarks, but can be used by anyone who meets the standard of the indicator rather than just one company. An appellation of origin is the most common example of a geographical indication. More accurately, according to WIPO:A geographical indication is a sign used on goods that have a specific geographical origin and possess qualities, reputation or characteristics that are essentially attributable to that place of origin. Most commonly, a geographical indication includes the name of the place of origin of the goods. Agricultural products typically have qualities that derive from their place of production and are influenced by specific local factors, such as climate and soil. Whether a sign is recognized as a geographical indication is a matter of national law. Geographical indications may be used for a wide variety of products, whether natural, agricultural or manufactured. This is why a whole lot of wines that undergo secondary fermentation suddenly went from being called "champagne" to being "methode champenoise" and later "methode traditionnelle;" they used the methods of the region, but aren't from that region.

Do all mountains have snow on top?

No, to have snow on top (permanently) the height of the mountain must exceed that of the snow line for the particular latitude at which the mountain is located (the snow line is higher at the equator than it is at the poles). Mountains that do not reach this height are not permanently snow capped (they may have snow on in winter months).


If a volcano is dormant does it turn into a mountain?

No. Not all volcanoes form mountains. Those that do are considered mountains regardless whether they are active, dormant, or extinct.


How does geographical location affect distribution channels?

Geography is an important component of marketing strategy. The most important geographical aspect of the distribution channel is whether a retailer can extend beyond its own trade area.
