Physical systems can affect human systems in many ways. Climate is one of the many ways. If a human lives in a very cold environment such as Alaska they can become very cold if they do not wear proper clothing and stay warm. The low temperatures can lower the body temperature and eventually can do so so much that the body will start to shut down due to hypothermia. However in contrary a human system can also affect a physical system. For example, if you had that same person in Alaska trying to survive the cold he might cut down a lot of trees for fire wood and to maybe build a shelter. Doing that could cause animals to loose their homes and also it will produce more heat causing the temperatures to potentially rise in Alaska. That is just a few examples of how human systems and physical systems play a role towards each other.
The Himalayan mountain range and Tibetan plateau have formed as a result of the collision between the Indian Plate and Eurasian Plate which began 50 million years ago and continues today.
The climate of any particular place is influenced by a host of interacting factors. These include latitude, elevation, nearby water, ocean currents, topography, vegetation, and prevailing winds.
Climate oscillation or climate cycles are a recurring oscillation within the global or regional climates and their fluctuations produce varying climatic cells and pressures often occurring on an interannual and multi annular basis.
On a decadal and millennium timescales.Current examples of the ENSO, Pacific oscillation, Antarctica, and arctic oscillation. like ENSO is characterized by flooding and drought conditions and the distribution of extreme conditions in the form of heat and cold waves.
Other cycles like the Piora oscillation, Little ice age, medieval warm period, retreating of glaciers and warming of the planet. All these cycles move on earth from the equator to tropics to temperate to polar areas and the continuous warming and cooling periods have altered the rate of spreading of the seafloor and oceanic basin.
Present warming has drastically created a major change in the evolution of species causing extinction and quick decomposition of resources. The release of carbon and methane gases over these years have raised the greenhouse effect at alarming rates.
the Federated States of Micronesia and the Indonesia (both of which consist of thousands of islands). Others consist of a single island, such as Nauru, or part of an island, such as Haiti.
