What is the most important factor in determining the climate of a region
belka [17]
One thing that you have to keep in mind is the altitude. Another thing that you have to keep in mind is the proximity to the closenesss of water because they vary in the amount of condensation. Wind patterns matter because the amount of wind you have determines the temperature. If the temperature is blazing hot most likely a desert. If their is so much wind that you can harness it most likely a field where plants and animals live. Another place that hot but has alot of condensation is the jungle. Because they have lots of leaves that direct windflow through the entire place. Ocean currents matter because the waves erode the side of the land slowly destroying it. One day all land will be under the sea. Also if the water currents are nearby their is always the chance of flooding which can be good or bad. Like at cairo eqypt their nile floods once a year making rich soil to grow food and crops on. But if the floooding is to bad then the chances are the water might destroy things like my power company for instance. My power has been out for 2 days already. Using generator.

Lana71 [14]

Answer:

In Act II, Scene 1, Brutus asks Lucius:

Is not tomorrow, boy, the ides of March?

Lucius does not know, so Brutus sends him to look at the calendar. This appears to be Shakespeare's way of letting his audience know that tomorrow will be the day the Soothsayer warned Caesar about in Act I, Scene 2.

Soothsayer:

Beware the ides of March.

Caesar:

What man is that?

Brutus:

A soothsayer bids you beware the ides of March.

When Lucius returns and confirms that tomorrow is the ides of March, it is especially significant because Brutus was present to hear the Soothsayer's warning to Caesar. This should inform the audience that the great historical event being dramatized on the Elizabethan stage is about to take place. Brutus may feel that Caesar's assassination was predestined by the gods or by Fate. When Caesar hears the Soothsayer's warning in Act I, Scene 2, he does not take it seriously. He says,
