Answer to Question 1

Answer: Plate tectonics changes the distribution of land and water, influencing circulation. Volcanic eruptions eject dust and sulfur oxides into the atmosphere, causing temporary cooling.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Vegetation is influenced by climate, so differences in vegetation can be used as indicators of climate type where weather data are lacking.
