Study Notes
Assessing Climate Variations' Impact
-
Mediterranean Climate Opportunities: Promotes agriculture (grapes, olives, citrus) and tourism due to mild weather, attracting year-round visitors. Coastal areas benefit from shipping and fishing, due to proximity to the Mediterranean Sea.
-
Continental Climate Opportunities: Supports agriculture due to fertile plains and livestock farming, providing a high crop yield during an extended summer growing season. Central European forests are crucial for timber and other forest products.
Challenges
-
Mediterranean Challenges: Droughts and wildfires can disrupt agriculture and threaten water availability. Increasing temperatures and water scarcity challenge crop farming during dry summers.
-
Continental Challenges: Cold winters hinder transportation and infrastructure development. Spring snowmelt can cause flooding, damaging crops and settlements.
