Explanation: The climate distribution of the earth is controlled by a number of factors. These factors include latitude, elevation or altitude, nearby water (proximity of large water bodies), ocean currents, topography, vegetation, and major winds.
Latitude influences climate in that areas with higher latitudes receive less sunlight. The climate in the regions close to the equator is usually warm because equator receives the most sunlight of anywhere on Earth.
Transport of sediments causes them to become rounder as their irregular edges are removed both by abrasion and corrosion. Beach sand becomes highly rounded due to its endless rolling and bouncing in the surf.
