1. It affects my job. If I want to be a ski instructor, I have to live in a cold climate, like the mountains.
2. It affects my food. If I like to eat a lot of oranges,I need to live in a warm climate like Florida where they can be grown.
3. It affects my clothing. If I lived in Florida I could wear shorts, tee shirt, and flip flops because it is hot.
4. It affects my transportation. If I lived in the mountains I could use a snowmobile. If I lived near the Great Lakes, I could use a boat. If I lived in the plains, I might take a train.
5. It affects my houses (shelter). If I live in the rain forest, I need a house with a pitched, or slanted roof. If I live in the desert, I will have a house with a flat roof made of adobe bricks.
6. It affects my recreation (what you do for fun). If I live in a hot climate near the ocean, I can go swimming at the beach. If I live in a mountain area, I can ski. If I live in the prairies, I can garden, or farm.
