We don’t even know all the possible effects yet.
Small particles and radiation in inner room (not only outside: cars, factories…) air are dangerous causing specially cancers (smoking, radon, dust, ink, chemicals…)

Question: how does the climate in Brazil affect the diet?
Because of the hot climate in Brazil what do they eat? like in Russia they eat carbohydrates because of the cold weather.what do Brazilians need to eat because of their hot climate?

Answer:

Answer by Pax
Hi, I’m Brazilian. Nice to meet you.
One thing I can tell for sure: the weather in Brazil does not affect the diet of Brazilians.

About the weather:
1- South region of Brazil can be really cold on winter.
2- In Autum and Spring it is not very hot, it’s a good weather.
3- Only in Summer the weather is too hot.

About the food.
1- Each Brazilian region has their typical foods.
2- Brazil is a country made by immigrants. So, Brazilians like Italian food, Portuguese food, Japanese food, Arab food, Chinese food… doen’t matter the period of the year.
3- Europeans, Asians, Amerindians and Africans gave a great contribution for the Brazilian traditional food.

What I call “Brazilian traditional food” can be a stereotype for some Brazilians. First you have to understand that Brazil is a very big country, with great cultural diversity. So it is difficult to make generalizations.

However, there are some traditions that we can call “typically Brazilian”, because those traditions doen’t happen in other countries of the world.

So, “Brazilian traditional food” is one of those traditions.

We can say, in general, Brazilians eat:

On morning, after wake up from the bed:
A bread with butter, sometimes fruits, drink coffee (rarely with milk).

At noon, a big dish with:
Black beans, white rice, meat (cow, pork or chicken), French fries (but we don’t call it like that), manioc floor, salad (tomatoes and lettuce). Sometimes with one egg. Some like pasta too.

On Afternoon: the same of the morning.
At night: impossible to describe, it changes from house to house.

At weekends:
- Churrasco (a lot of kind of different meat) and beer to drink
- Feijoada (black beans with pork) + white rice
- Moqueca (fish and seafood with tomatoes and olive oil) + white rice

Watch this video, it shows some typical Brazilian foods:

Question: Why do mountains affect weather and climate?
And yes I know mountains are cold and I know why they are cold, but how do they affect the weather of the flat areas surrounding it? Also, how do sunspots and dust affect the climate?

Answer:

Answer by Lucy
Mountains:
There are two sides: wayward and leeward.
Wayward: Whenever it is raining, the wayward side gets the rain so there is good soil most of the time. But as the cloud goes up the mountain, it keeps raining until soon there is no more water in the cloud.
Leeward: Now the cloud is at the other side of the mountain. There is no more precipitation so the leeward side of the mountain gets no rain so the flat ground on this side of the mountain is dry and humid.

Sunspots: Sunspots are spots on the sun that are spots on the sun that are slightly cooler than the rest of the sun. These spots send of radiation and causes conduction in the earth’s atmosphere making the earth hotter. Sunspots, some scientists say, are causing global warming.

Dust: Remember the Dust Bowl? Dust can affect plant life greatly. It covers everyhting up and causes water and sunlight from reacj=hing plant life. It also can affect marine life. When dust that contains iron dissloves in the ocean it can harm fish and sea mammals. When there is no fish, no food for animals and people. But plants seem to have a greater effect on the climate. Plants give off oxygen and they help the atmosphere by eating up the carbon dioxide. Less plants, more carbon dioxide, global warming.

Sorry if this is so long. Hope I helped.

Question: How does environment and climate affect population density?
How does environment and climate affect population density?

I need at least 3 reasons

pls help

Answer:

Answer by Colorado Papa
Humans do not like temperature and humidity extremes. Less population where snow exists most of the time or in the steaming jungles.

The density and temperature of the air decreases with elevation so you find fewer people living at high elevations.

Lack of water precludes most people from living in deserts.

Few people can survive in a swampy area.

People congregate where jobs are available.

Question: How did location, climate, and natural resources affect where ppl live and how they trade in (continued below)?
How did location, climate, and natural resources affect where ppl live and how they trade in Mexico, Venezuela, Brazil, and Cuba?????

Answer:

Answer by MBK
In Brazil, in the early days of European settlement the main area was the NE where they could grow sugar, in those days the most profitable use for a New World colony. Import slaves, export sugar. Climate-based choice. Plus the advantage of being on the coast for trade.

Later on the SE became more populous and much more prosperous. Still on the coast (easiest place to trade from in the days of sailing ships) (/before infrastructure of roads/railways had been built). Healthier climate, better soil, not so dry.

The interior is still much more thinly populated. The Amazon jungle is thick, full of dangerous beasts, hot and sticky, and it rains a lot. Not an easy place to develop agriculture or industry. Extractive industries obviously go where the resource is, so there are mining towns in otherwise remote regions, and also, indeed especially, in the state of Minas Gerais which has the natural resources (minerals) and also is relatively close to domestic markets (the Sao Paulo/Rio/Brasilia triangle) and ports.

Mexico – people don’t live in the desert much, because neither the pre-Columbian indigenous Mexicans nor the European late-medieval conquerors/immigrants had any technology or desire to do so. In the pre-industrial centuries, where the corn grows well is where the people lived. Mexico City on the high plateau as a central market-town gathering-place convenient for administration yet also fertile and with a nice enough climate. Later Guadelajara and other cities also grew on the Plateau. More recently some cities have grown big on the US border just because of the artificial line – Ciudad Juarez, Tijuana, Nuevo Laredo etc are where they are entirely because of the poitical/military forces that put the frontier where it is. US businesses set up there to take advantage of lower wages in Mexico (maquiladora) to make or assemble goods as near to US markets as they could while still being in Mexico, and export them to the US. Some Mexicans also moved to these cities so they could live in Mexico and work (legally or illegally) in cities close to but on the US side of the border such as San Diego and El Paso (again, typically for lower wages than Americans would accept). Cancun is where it is because the sea is warm the beaches are beautiful, it has the natural resources for a holiday resort (= what Americans call a “vacation destination”).

Question: How does the polar jet stream move from summer to winter? How would this affect the climate to the east of the?
How does the polar jet stream move from summer to winter? How would this affect the climate of the locations where it moves?

Answer:

Answer by cyswxman
In general the polar jet moves equatorialward as the respective hemispheres cool during their falls and winters. The jet itself does not really affect the climate as their courses and locations are more of a responsive nature to where the air masses move themselves.

Question: Does the climate affect industrial development?
I mean, take Africans. No reason to suppose they are any less intelligent than white people but living in a parched climate is hardly conducive to industrial development and innovation. Hardly surprising the industrial revolution started in Britain and not in Botswana! The weather is cooler and you don’t have to saunter around all day swaggering and trying to stay (and look?) cool.

Answer:

Answer by Hillel
yes, if you look backwards,
and take Egypt for example, the population was limited to stay near the nile, and their work was limited to what this area of the nile could offer them.
the rest was a deserted desert.

some places will have certain resources that other places dont have. many resources are a direct result of climate in the area they are present.
so if that same industry is leaning on certain resources, you could say that industrial development is affected by climate.

it affected by many more factors, say for example your country is rich with a certain resource, but the world’s market has no demand at all for this resource, then you wont build industry around it and based on it, you will only lose money.
on the other hand, make that resource oil for example, you will have a lot of industry around it.

resources are also in need according to the time in history or future, before we knew how to use oil for our needs, places with oil would be poor, and as we finally learnd how to use it, these places are very rich and developed.

so to sum it up,
YES, i think climate is ONE factor that affects industrial development, but its nothing more than another factor amongs many
