variation Workshop 3. Factors that arise from climatic variation Objective: With the development of this workshop, the student will recognize the factors that will flourish the climatic variation at different spatial scales. Introduction Climatic factors accelerate the determination of life zones. The adaptations of plants and animals to the physical environment allow them to survive in particular life zones. Thus, tropical moist forest organisms are not as successful in drier areas. al what is the difference between climate and weather? b) What are the criteria for classifying the different life zones? cJ How does climate change affect the distribution and abundance of organisms on the planet? d) Why do areas of lower elevation have a higher temperature than areas of higher elevation? :] What are thermal floors? f) How does the presence of the Andes mountain range affect the climatic change in Colombia? :) What is the phenomenon of the child and how can it affect the different forms of life in our country? h) why is it so difficult to predict the weather in a given place
