Answer:

Both a and b

Explanation:

The plate tectonics are a process which moves the tectonic plates on the surface of the Earth. As the plates move, they cause the appearance of new continents, destruction of old ones, formation of new oceans and seas, closing in other ocean and seas, formation of mountain ranges and valleys etc. All of this influences the climate on the planet. The ocean currents are directly dependent on the positions and shapes of the continents, and they influence the climate a lot. Also, the manner in which the continents are shaped and placed causes certain climates to occur or not. For example, if there isn't any continental land mass on and in close proximity to the poles, the climate will automatically be warmer and the chances of formation of polar caps, thus Ice Ages is almost impossible.

Archy [21]

Panama is a country that is part of North America geographically, though politically it is put into the Central American region. It is a small country that is located on southernmost tip of the North American land mass. Panama is the country that is bordering the continent of South America on its south. The country is best known for the Panama Canal, connecting the Caribbean Sea (the Atlantic Ocean through it as well) and the Pacific Ocean, giving this country a great strategic importance.

Haiti is a country that is part of the Caribbeans. The country is located on one half of the biggest island in the Caribbeans, Hispaniola, sharing it with the Dominican Republic which occupies the other half of the island. Haiti has both good and bad location. Its location is good because it has nice weather all year long, it is between North and South America, and it is very attractive for tourists. The bad part is that the island is constantly on the way of the hurricanes, usually the most devastating ones, which often manage to cause enormous damage and bug life loss.
