How do wind,ocean currents, bodies of water, and elevation affect climate patterns on earth?

1 answer:

6 0

Wind patterns, ocean currents, proximity to large bodies of water (i.e. seas and oceans), and elevation all impact climate patterns through a variety of factors. These factors largely impact the flow of energy and heat from the sun across the Earth's surface through processes of convection. For example the "Jet Stream" in the United States is a wind pattern that carries air and weather patterns across the United States and its flow shifts directions depending on seasons. Another is the Gulf Stream which brings warm currents from the Caribbean and Central American up the American coast and out into the Atlantic ocean warming the temperatures of the coastal water ways and also impacting the climate of the land near it.

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

to provide ports to the ocean

Explanation:

East Africa is a region that has several large lakes, located on the line of divergence between the Somali and Nubian plates, better known as the East African rift. These lakes are very important for the people living in the region. They are very rich in fish, so they provide lot of food. Because hey are large, they are also used for transportation and trade. There are other usages of them as well, such as the production of hydroelectric power, and providing water for irrigation of the agriculture. These lakes though are not connected to the oceans, so the ports are not providing any access to the oceans.

Whether an eruption will produce lava flows or pyroclastic debris depends on the viscosity of magma and the gas content

<h3>What is a Volcano?</h3>

This refers to the eruption of hot lava from the surface of the earth as a result of a tectonic shift.

Hence, we can see that the two main factors that determine the content that comes out when an eruption occurs are both the viscosity of the magma and also the gas content.
