Climate and topography are two very important factors that may influence industries profitability and productivity. Is important for business leaders to recognize how climate and topography factors impacts different industries. Recognizing climate and topography could be of assistance for businesses venturing into the global business environment arena. Climate and topography are factors of huge importance when determining location and strategic planning. One of the industries most affected by climate and topography is the transportation industry. The transportation industry is vital to any economy. The transportation industry

The same consideration, on a smaller scale, the electronics industry enjoys. The electronics industry is the combination of manufacturers of electronics products at different scales. Climatic considerations are very important to the electronics industry. The incorrect climatic condition could cause devastating effects for example “Tribocorrosion involves mechanical and chemical/electrochemical interactions between surfaces in relative motion in the presence of a corrosive environment. Tribocorrosion phenomena are encountered in many technological areas where they cause damage to installations, machines, and devices. Often tribocorrosion damage is a problem for safety or for human health. In other applications tribocorrosion phenomena are put to good use in manufacturing. The chemo-mechanical mechanisms of tribocorrosion are still incompletely understood, they involve the properties of contacting material surfaces, the mechanics of the contact and the corrosion conditions (D Landolt, 2006).” The tribocorrosion example clearly illustrates how climate could directly affect the electronics industry. Topographic considerations are also directly linked to this industry. The incorrect topographic location chosen for a factory or distribution center could cause millions in loses to the industry. The electronics industry depends on strategic topographical locations for distribution, raw materials, and ease of
The arrangements of the continents have a strong effect on the earth's climate. Where a continent is on the earth can determine regional climates, such as if a location is arid, cold etc. When plates move, they can also convert locations from one climate to another.
This biome is large community of plants and animals..Also, biomes, such as the forest, freshwater, and marine,may have more consequences . The most imports biomes are the freshwater and marine because those biomes help us get water to drink and for the crops and the marine biome is also important the study of the between people and the physical environment of the sea.
One such way that shows the effect of the climate on the economy is in Document 4. This document states “The northern soil and climate favored smaller farmsteads rather than large plantations. Industry flourished”(Document4). This is showing how since the climate in the north wasn’t good for growing crops, so the northerners worked in industry instead. This quote shows how a geographic difference between regions leads to economic differences between them because it shows how the
2- Air pressure is not usually a constant that’s why usually impacts therefore it usually weather not climate. Some several key areas of the globe have consistent highs and lows that affect the weather and wind patterns having a huge impact on the climate.
Changes in climate have affected the growth of crops. Particularly climate change has increased the amount precipitation fall in North Dakota.
“‘We know even relatively small amounts of sea level rise affect us,’ [Carl Spector, commissioner of Boston’s Environment Department] said. ‘All the models we’re seeing are concerning’” (Abel). Climate change, the warming and changing of the Earth’s atmosphere, has become a very prevalent issue over the past century. Despite having numerous sources in terms of hard evidence, many people still do not believe in the effects of climate change. Sea level rise is one effect of climate change that may change the minds of many because of its reality in today’s world. This issue is especially relevant in the Northeast because of several factors that further affect the sea level rise. In order to stop further effects on the Northeast, legislators must
Climate change includes changes in the average climate, such as a general warming in mean annual air temperature, and changes in the frequency of extreme temperature and precipitation events. Some world’s largest cities are located in coastal areas. This increases their vulnerability to rising sea levels and storm surges, risking livelihoods, property, and urban infrastructure.
The purpose of this assessment is to understand all topographic factors concerning the past, present, and future of Taylor Mountain Regional Park. The site is 4 acres in size and is located in Taylor Mountain Regional Park and Open Space Preserve. The coordinates of the site, according to the USGS 1954 Santa Rosa Quadrangle Map, are N 38 degrees 24 minutes and 30 seconds, W 122 degrees 41 minutes and 25 seconds (Figure 2). The entrance to the site is located at the 1900 section of Kawana Terrace, adjacent to the private continuation of Kawana Terrace in Santa Rosa California 95407 in the United States. The site is located in the NE 1/2 of the SE 1/4 of section 36, T7N, R8W on the Mount
The award-winning novelist and memoirist as well as author of Across a Hundred Mountains has written an inspiring memoir that will reach out and touch the reader's hearts. The Distance Between Us is about a four-year-old girl from Iguala, Mexico who lives in extreme poverty. Her father left to go to the US when she was two years old to earn money and build a house. Later on, when Reyna was four her mother had left to go help her father, and this left Reyna and her three siblings with their grandmother who wasn’t as pleasant as you would expect. As the story progresses forward, readers can see their living conditions how they aren't getting properly fed and some of the traumatic events that they witness such as people dying in front of them or people with rare illnesses. Soon after her mother comes back to Mexico, the children realize that their father had left her for another woman and their mother had brought back a new baby with her. After this, their father comes to Mexico, and brings Reyna and her two siblings back to the US with them. Living their lives in the US was not as easy as they thought because of the language barrier and their father drinking all day long and getting constantly abused by him almost every day. for small things. Eventually, Reyna pursues her education and finds sanctuary in reading books and writing stories. She was the first person in her family to graduate from college and pursue her dreams. Because of this, she has inspired many people around this world. Overall Reyna Grande successfully tells us about how immigration impacted her life and her family’s life using features such as the honest truth, both internal and external conflict, graphic imagery, and a sad and bittersweet tone to reflect upon all of her life experiences. Because of this, she convinces the readers about the toll immigration took on their family.
Include if there are industries that your community is involved in that require those physical feature (for example, plains because you are using wind to power your entire community)
The impacts from climate change across a number of sectors, including water security, agriculture, coastal communities, and infrastructure.
Climate change has been a topic of concern in many aspects of natural resource management in regards to ecological impacts from the effects of rapidly increasing air temperatures. In this paper we will look at those effects specifically on cold-water fishes within the Southern Rocky Mountains, mainly from Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, and New Mexico. The species most vulnerable to climate change are those that require cold and clean water conditions such as whitefish, grayling, char, trout, and salmon (Williams et al. 2015). The two main properties that are critical for fish survival are warm temperature and precipitation in regards to flow. The air temperatures within the Southern Rocky Mountains have increased faster than other
I chose this topic because I wanted to find out what the impacts of climate change can make on the ski industry. Snowboarding is a very big part of my life and it is important for all of us as it brings in all the tourists into our country.
All businesses will be affected by factors in its environment. The following are the 3 main factors affecting businesses;
1. Long-term factors: First I am going to study the long-term causes, as it is with these that the climate of the
