Answer to Question 1

We have noted that geology has a profound impact on local weather and thence
on climate. Changing the positions and orientation of the continents can have a large impact.
Think of the effect of India's collision with Asia, for example, which raised the Himalayan
Mountains and made the Tibetan Plateau so high in altitude and so forbidding.

Answer to Question 2

D
