* Bugs
African Rift Valley
* Plates are separating
Java
* Most densely populated island in Asia
* Living near a volcano produces lots of stiff soil
What Factors Affect World Temperature Patterns?
Reasons for temperatures
* Direct sun light (angle of sun)
* Land-water heat energy contrast
Temperature Determinants
* Distance from equator
* Angle of sun (high angle near equator)
* natural elevation further away from ground...If you want to get a broad essay, order it on our website: Orderessay
