Well, straight off, temperature decreases with altitude, so mountainous regions, plateaus etc can have cooler than expected temperatures (hence glaciers on Mt Kilimanjaro near the Equator).
2nd - aspect. the orientation of a slope in higher latitudes can affect the local climate; south facing slopes in northern extra-tropical regions (say Canada) will be warmer and get more hours of sunlight than north facing slopes.
As stated by the other respondent, mountain ranges can act as barriers to wind and rainfall, with much of the rain falling on the windward side and top of the mountain and the lee of the mountain in 'rainshadow', ie with little rain.
mountains can also control local winds (anabatic and katabatic see web site below)) like the Fohn and Chinook.
Hope this helps. There are of course, other ways in which topography influences climate; hopefully other respondents will fill you in.
== == It makes the climate hotter on the top layer and cooler on the bottom.
well, if you want effect then the answer would be it makes the climate on the top hotter and the bottom cooler
the intermontane region
There are actually several things that can affect the climate. 1: Latitude 2: Elevation and Topography 3: Distance from oceans and seas 4: Prevailing Wind Direction 5: Offshore currents 6: Geological stability
seasonal winds affect climate
The ocean effects people, it causes flooding ans idk the rest!!! :]
Vegetation and land cover can affect climate. How? When the temperatures of the land increase, changing the climate.
European colonization of central Africa was delayed.
Topography. The topography of an area can influence the weather and climate. Topography is the relief of an area.
Topography shows elevation and surface features. It has had an affect on human life because now, with topography, we know where elevation is and how high it is.
No, topography deals with the characteristics of terrain. Meteorology deals with the climate. Yes - many mountain ranges make their own weather.
Topography shows elevation and surface features. It has had an affect on human life because now, with topography, we know where elevation is and how high it is.
Topography is an important factor for soil formation
soil development has 5 factors that affect its horizons. parent material, climate, biota, topography and time
I think they are Parent material, Relief, Organisms, Climate, and Time.
yes, because the climate change,
Climate and topography are important in influencing where people live because they tend to live in places that have favorable conditions. Generally, the people would stay away from places with harsh climate and topography.
The word "evolution" means "change". The Theory of Evolution is concerned with change among living things, animals and plants. Such change does not affect climate in any significant way. Earth is also evolving. The tectonic plates are moving; volcanic action is changing the face of the Earth, creating new islands, changing the topography. These changes---the evolution of Earth---do affect climate.
The climate of Turkey varies significantly because of the topography of the country
