The Effects of Topography on the Climate

The effects of topography on the climate of any given region are powerful.Mountain ranges create barriers that alter wind and precipitation patterns.Topographical features such as narrow canyons channel and amplify winds.Mountains and plateaus are exposed to the cooler temperatures of higher altitudes.The orientation of mountains to the sun creates distinct microclimates in areas such as the Alps,where entire villages remain in the shade for most of the winter season.
