How Weather & Climate Benefit ManBy Meg Michelle; Updated April 25, 2017
The types of weather a region receives depends on its climate, or long-term weather characteristics. Some regions are hot and arid, while others are temperate and humid. The benefits of weather and climate depend on the region, but there are some consistencies across the globe. From producing rainfall to creating the perfect places to mine for metals, climate and weather determine the way humans interact with their world.
Precipitation
Perhaps the most obvious and the most important benefit of weather and climate is that they bring rain, snow and other forms of precipitation. Humans and all other organisms need to consume a regular supply of water to survive. Without a fairly consistent source of water, it would be difficult to predict what sorts of crops could be cultivated in a given region. If a change in climate were to alter the weather so that it produced too little or too much water, it could have a major impact on agricultural and livestock.
Economics
Different climates in different parts of the world allow for a wide range of plant and animal life. In places like the rain forest, hot and humid temperatures and heavy rainfall promote the growth of plants that cannot be cultivated anywhere else in the world. Many of those plants are used in medicines and are essential to the pharmaceutical industry. On the opposite side of the climate spectrum, the ultra-dry deserts provide an ideal location for mining minerals and metals that are used for many production industries such as electronics.
