If scientists played with buffalo genes a bit, they could make a new breed of beefalo that is tasty and tender, but resists cold and hot weather like the buffalo does. This is common and scientists do things like this all the time, it's how many of dog breeds were created. The cow can't stand weather that's too cold but the beefalo might which would mean more food in northern areas of the world where it's cold.
I can say that climate affects rock weathering by wet weather raining on rocks then water runs into the cracks, then the cold weather freezes the water causing it to expand, this pushes the cracks apart.
Hope this helps!
