Answer:

The main physical characteristic affecting North Africa and Southwest Asia's settlement patterns is water.

Explanation:

The northern part of the continent of Africa and the southwestern part of Asia are predominantly deserts characterized by scarcity of water.

These two regions of the world are counted among the driest on the planet.

Desertification due to rapid deforestation in the past caused these regions to turn into huge sandy deserts.

The countries in the southwest Asia are comparatively wealthy and have been implementing various techniques of desalination of seawater to tackle the scarcity of water in the region.

How does the environment effect local climate and global climate?

galben [10]

Answer:

As explained below.

Explanation:

The environment of a place is mobile and dynamic in character it can impact both the local and global climates of any place on earth. The atmospheric circulation, oceanic currents, and biogeography of a place have an impact on the local climate and weather pattern of the place.

Like places in poles are cool and have cold environments that affect the general circulation of the atmosphere of the planet by the current produced in oceans and air as a polar cell.

Similarly palace on the equator is in direct contact with the sunlight and thus their environment is of calm nature hence, the convective currents develop over here.

Thus the environment is what surrounds us can directly and indirectly impact the local which will lead to a change in global changes as well.
