What is vertical climate?
A vertical climate a climate affected by altitude (usually found on a mountain). One example is that on a mountain the higher up you go the colder the climate (or temperature) is.
How do the mountain ranges of Europe affect their climate?
Mountain ranges usually have a cold climate in its surrounding areas. They also help diminish winds coming in from the seas.
Is a volcanic arc the same thing as a volcanic mountain range?
Volcanic arcs are usually island arcs off the coast of a continent, while volcanic mountain ranges are usually inland inside a continent. But the volcanoes of a volcanic island arc do form an undersea volcanic mountain range. So to some extent the difference is mostly a matter of terminology.

Rugged land of the Australian interior?
The rugged interior of the Australian continent is called the outback. This is usually a very dry, hot, and rocky area but temperatures can vary greatly depending on the time of year. It is known as Australia's dessert.
How does the climate on the leeward side of a mountain differ from the climate on the windward side of a mountain?
The leeward side of a mountain is typically drier and experiences a rain shadow effect, where the air loses moisture as it rises and cools over the mountain, leading to less precipitation. In contrast, the windward side of a mountain is usually wetter due to orographic lifting, where air is forced to rise, cool, and condense, resulting in more rainfall or snowfall.
Which continent is moscow in?
Moscow is west of the Urals, the mountain range usually considered as dividing Europe from Asia. Thus Moscow is in Europe.
Why is gravity weak on continent?
On a continent, you are usually higher than sea level. Imagine you are on a mountain: you are farther from the center of the earth, so the force of gravity will be less. Also, if the rocks under a continent are less dense, this would make gravity weaker.
What is the most stable part of a continent?
The oldest and most stable part of a continent is usually the craton, which is a large area of exposed ancient rocks that have not undergone significant tectonic activity for millions of years. Cratons are found in the interior regions of continents and provide a stable foundation for the continent's geology.
What is the difference between interior and internal?
Interior usually refers to buildings. Internal usually refers to bodies.
What is a continental climate?
The type of climate found in the interior of the major continents in the middle, or temperate, latitudes. The climate is characterized by a great seasonal variation in temperatures, four distinct seasons, and a relatively small annual precipitation.
