How do physical features affect where people settle?

Geographic conditions change the way we live. For example if you lived in India, you would have to learn how to fish and protect yourselves from the monsoons. If you lived in Antarctica, you would have to make clothing suitable for the cold weather.


How does uneven heating at the poles and equator affect climate and weather?

Uneven heating at the poles and equator drives atmospheric circulation, leading to the formation of global wind patterns and ocean currents. This creates differences in temperature and precipitation across different regions, influencing climate and weather patterns such as the formation of hurricanes and monsoons.


How does wind systems determine major weather pattern on earth?

Wind systems help distribute heat around the Earth, leading to the formation of major weather patterns. For example, the Coriolis effect influences wind direction and the formation of pressure systems which in turn affect weather patterns like hurricanes and monsoons. Jet streams also play a role in steering weather systems and influencing temperature changes.


How do prevailing winds affect weather systems in the US?

Monsoon winds are good examples as they affect the climate of the countries over which they blow. Monsoons are sudden seasonal reversals in wind direction.They bring heavy rain.The strongest monsoons occur in southern Asia,Australia and Africa.The climates of these countries are affected by these monsoons as heavy rain occurs during the monsoon period. The global winds (particularly,Hadley cell,ferner cell and Polar cell) regulate the global weather,help in moving the ocean currents which affect the climate of many countries and sometimes signal an El Nino formation which also affect the climate of many continents.
