6. CLIMATE
• Local-The forcing of the air to rise causes it to
cool and condense, forming clouds and
precipitation. Mountains would also produce
local affects due to the change of air flow.
Mountains can cut clouds or block wind forcing
only one side to get perception or wind
• There is not much global change but there is a
lot of local change that is unpredictable
