The Influence Of The Climate In The Andes Of South America

Although many glaciers are retreating in the Andes, some glaciers have shown a positive mass budget. Schaefer et al. (2014) showed a progressive surface mass balance from 1975 to 2011 in the South Patagonian Icefield. Masiokas et al. (2009) also noted glacier growths in certain portions of SPI during the first half of the past millennium. Sakakibara and Sugiyama (2014), in their analysis of 26 calving glaciers from 1984 to 2011, noticed small advancements in two termini of the Pío XI glacier. Espizua

and come apart and allow for countless sheets of lava to be transferred out over the land (Hay, 1992). Through time the ice caps frequently collected and spread over enormous extents in North America. In this timeframe, movements to the south would occur making the ice push and relocate expansive quantities of soils and rocks. This movement effected how the great glacial streams would flow (Hay, 1992). With the extremely large rains and glacial ice melting valleys and flooding played a great role

Both North and South Americas span across many latitudes. This means that they experience many different climates. North America is very wide and experiences continentality. South America is more narrow and does not experience the same level of continentality. Both Americas have rain shadow effect in their south west. They have desert areas created by this rain shadow. South America has a huge tropical area that North America does not experience, but South America does not have an arctic area like

rise in food production. A fifth factor was food producers could force hunter-gatherers to leave or kill them off because of the great numbers they had. 9. One advantage the Fertile Crescent had in food production was that it had a Mediterranean climate that was mild and wet in the winter and hot and dry in the long summers. This allows plants to grow quickly after the dry season when the rain comes back. A second advantage was many plants there were already very abundant and very productive.
