Answer:

The elements affecting the climate are latitude, altitude and pressure and winds, distance from the sea (continentality), ocean currents and relief features.

Latitude and altitude: The most important climatic control is latitude. Latitude affects the temperature of a place. The places situated at higher altitudes which are far from equator receive lesser sunlight and places which are located towards the equator receives more sunlight and are hotter than the places located at higher latitudes. Sunlight also affects precipitation or rainfall. Thus, latitudinal position of a region decides the climate of the place.

Continentality is defined as measure of difference between continental and marine climates. As the distance from sea increases this moderating effect decreases and people face extreme weather conditions

Winds and air masses originate over oceans move onshore to the mainland and affect climate.

Ocean currents affect climate of coastal areas.

Vinvika [58]

The correct answer is - The Roman civilization.

The Romans invaded Britain, even though it took them some time, gradually they managed to get under their control most of what is now England and Wales. With their arrival, the Romans brought lots of things from their society, including alphabet, thus reading and writing, they started to create cities with solid defense systems, and gradually were building roads in order to connect the cities they've built in order to enable better and quicker communication between them. Also, they introduced the Christianity in Britain. It is debatable about the exact time, there are some sources that claim that it was introduced as early as the 1st century AD, but officially it is considered that there was enough mass of people and preachers in period of the 3rd and 4th centuries so that it can be considered as a living, practiced, and prospering religion.
