Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the influence of climate on the physical environment and, by extension, its profound impact on human activity and development. The author demonstrates that while extreme climates are inhospitable to human life, the adaptability of humans allows them to thrive in every region of the planet - albeit with varying degrees of ingenuity required to overcome the challenges of their environment. The book discusses the essential relationship between climate and landforms, including the weathering of rocks through temperature changes and moisture, and the transportation and deposition of resulting waste by moving water, ice, and wind. The author discusses the great climatic regions of the world, correlating existing landforms with these regions, and examines the Ice Age, a period of profound climatic change whose effects are still visible in the present day. In doing so, the author touches on the broader subject of Earth's geological history. Ultimately, this book contributes to our understanding of the relationship between humans and their environment, and the ways in which climate has shaped human history and development.
