Climate is a broad term, but it always describes a long-term change of a climate system.
Often 'climate' is used to mean the long-term mean state of the atmosphere, including
temperature, humidity, and wind. In other contexts, 'climate' can include the oceanic
state, the cryosphere (snow and sea-ice), the biosphere, and sometimes even the
lithosphere (Earth's crust). The pattern of human life in any particular region is to a very
large extent determined by the climate:--
Shelter:
The design of houses in different geographical regions of the world is determined by
climatic conditions. In areas of heavy rainfall, the houses have sloping roofs. The
material used in construction is, however, determined by the availability of construction
material. The roof could be tiled or comprise bamboos covered with hay where clay for
making tiles may not be available.
In dry regions like Rajasthan, flat stone pieces are used for roofing. Partition walls are
made of wood in very cold countries. In regions of high temperature, there are open
courtyards attached to each dwelling. In hill districts, houses are made on stilts with the
ground floor reserved for cattle.
Dress:
Loose dresses are popular in regions where the climate is hot. In colder regions, people
wear dresses that are body hugging. A very wide variety of head gears is used again
depending on the climate. The Sola hat was so popular with the British people living in
the hot plains of India. Where rainfall is abundant people wear head gears that provide
protection against rain while people are at work.
The lungi is popular in the southern regions of the country where it is relatively hot but
not so in colder region as Himachal Pradesh. Woollens are worn in cold regions while
cotton clothing is worn in hot and temperate regions. Synthetic clothing may be suitable
in cold climates but not so at places where people perspire during the day.
Wealth
The wealth of a country can also be impacted by climate. If a country has a very
inhospitable climate, such as ice and snow, or desert, then it will not be easy for
agriculture or other profitable industry to be carried out, so the country will not be able to
sustain a very large population, or to give a good lifestyle to those it does sustain.
Occupations:
During the winter months when outdoor living is not easy, the people of Kashmir remain
indoors and follow up occupations like making carpets, handicrafts; silk wares that can
be weaved sitting indoors. Agriculture is practiced where rainfall is adequate.
People living in dry regions follow pastoral occupations moving from place to place
along with their herds of cattle looking for water and grass where ever it may be
available. Where rainfall is abundant, forestry comes up as an important occupation for
the people.
Art and Culture:
Open air stage performances are popular in areas that are not very cold. A wide variety
exists at places where people have opportunity to remain out doors for most part of the
year.
Food habits:
Since climate determines the nature of crops that can be grown in any part, the food
habit also get influence by the climate. In Bengal, the staple food is rice since heavy
rainfall in that region is most suited for paddy cultivation. The northern parts of the
country, wheat are the staple diet. Millets are popular in dry regions like Rajasthan.
Crops like Bajra are grown there since this crop can survive even with scant water
supply. The people living in Tundra region have no chance of being vegetarians. The
climate does not allow growing any cereals or food crops.
Migration:
People living in extremely cold climates are known to migrate to warmer places in
search of jobs. Where the climates are temperate, people tend to live a more settled life.
Effect on environment :
As the climate warms, it changes the nature of global rainfall, evaporation, snow, stream
flow and other factors that affect water supply and quality. Specific impacts include:
Warmer water temperatures may affect water quality and accelerate water pollution.
