Explain weather patterns are a result of interactions among ocean currents, air currents, and topography.

If u answer right u get 10 pts.

  1. Mostly by how it does not effect it. Depending on its latitude from the equator, will make a difference. If hot it can cause expanding air to climb, almost like a mountain range, BUT if also dry you may not get rain.  Without obstructions, winds will be heavier (faster).  But then the winds will erode the surface, and the eroded material will deposit (like sand dunes) and in time the topography will change, thus so will the climate. Does this area border an ocean? Are the predominate winds from the ocean or towards the ocean. Is this area at a high Latitude or equatorial? Is it a warm or cool ocean? These would all make a difference too. How much Solar radiation? What kinds of humidity? What are the planets Temperatures? How fast does the planet rotate? Does this area have extreme Coriolis effects? Is there even any water available on this planet? Is this area in a temperate zone?  Does the planet/area even have an atmosphere?

    You will have to give a lot better description of the area to get a more detailed answer.
