Mapping Project Blog Post

a) How do physical features, climate and elevation relate to each other?

In the area the climate changes. For example, in the Himalayas it is not tropical wet, it is the freezing climate. The majorty of India is tropical wet and dry. In some areas near the rivers it is tropical wet and in some parts it is semiarid. A lot of pepole do not choose to live in the arid areas because it is so hot and in the night it is freezing.

b) What conclusions can you draw?
    (Think about natural resources, climate/weather, and human settlement.)

The humans prefer settling near the rivers in the tropical wet zones. There are 1.2 billion people today in India working with agriculture. Not a lot of people live in the desert, in the arid zones because in the day it is too hot and in the night it can turn up to be freezing. There is a lot of climate change and it only rains 4 inches per year in that zone.
