Landforms such as mountains and plains affect the air flow of the atmosphere, which then shifts what weather will occur in what areas (which is basically the climate minus the ambient temperature).
For instance, the Rocky Mountain range in the western United States and Canada cause the air currents flowing west to east from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic to elevate. The increased elevation causes the air temperature to drop, reducing the amount of moisture the air can hold. Typically the air coming in from the Pacific Ocean has a great deal of moisture, so when the air can no longer hold the moisture it falls as rain or snow on the western side of the mountain range. On the east side of the mountains, when the air comes back down from the heights, there is little precipitation and a semi-arid climate due to the precipitation shadow effect of the mountain range.
When the continents moved they changed the way land and sea were placed on earths surface. If the continents moved towards the equator they received more energy from the sun and developed warmer climates. continental drift caused ocean currents and winds to flow differently. these changes affected heat flow.
the playes make barriers like mountains witch peopel cant cross so they dont move and make a cultre.. and the people from the other side male their own other culture
Movement of tectonic plates can cause seafloor spreading and reversal of Earth's magnetic field, which can affect the organisms that are not adapted to the geological enviroment.
Tectonic plates and fault lines created by the movement of tectonic plates.
harry hess named the tectonic plates but I'm not sure why =/
Interactions between tectonic plates occur at plate boundaries.
PLATES
it made them
The tectonic plates combined together
They are called tectonic or lithospheric plates.
It will move the tectonic plates
It's a shift in the Earth's tectonic plates.
Tectonic plates
when tectonic plate collides with other tectonic plates or moves into another tectonic plate it affects surface in a way to create mountains. Like Himalayas are created when the indian tectonic plate collided with asian tectonic plate.
Tectonic plates
It will move the tectonic plates
It will move the tectonic plates
use google
The answer is Tectonic Plates
