HOW WOULD IT EFFECT THIS

• Bodies of water would affect how much precipitation it gets or how humid it is
• Altitude would effect how cold it would be or how much oxygen is in the air,or how humid
• Latitude would effect how much sunlight it gets so how hot or cold it is and the seasons,and effect your clothing
• WInd would effect how much the temperture trops or rises,and how the seeds move around
