Climate

The climate of Nepal has parts of its country that have a subtropical and tropical climate. The country of Nepal has 5 seasons. These seasons are summer, monsoon, autumn, winter, and spring. During winter, the air is relatively warm, and this is caused by the Himalayas blocking cold air from entering the country. Some benefits of Nepal's warm climate is that it's easy for agriculture because of the warm air and the fertile soil. The drawbacks of Nepal's climate is that there can be floods that destroy homes and possibly injure others, and the country is very vulnerable to natural disasters.

Natural Resources

Nepal has little resources, but the natural resource that stands out the most is wood. Nepal's natural resource that is exported the most is wood and it has many uses. Nepal uses its wood for structures, biomass energy, and more. Without Nepal's wood, many buildings and structures wouldn't be standing! Also, the biomass fuel helps the environment because they don't use oil! However, this can hurt society because you need to take down trees to get wood, meaning that many animals would lose a home, food, and places that are essential for them to live.

Although Nepal has only some airports and sea ports, Nepal has 51 airports for export and import of goods. These airports also help people transport them into or out of the country. Information can spread through communicating through mobile devices, by boat, and sometimes by plane.

Landform

An important landform in my country is Mount Everest. Not only is this an important place for tourists, it's also known as the tallest mountain in the world. Also, since it's so high it can be used to study climate change and help the world. Mount Everest impacts the way people get water because its watershed provides fresh, clean water to drink. So if you lived in Nepal with Mount Everest, you could get some clean water, but 75% of the country doesn't have clean water, meaning your chances of getting clean water are low.

Conclusion

Nepal's climate, natural resources, and location has impacted people who live there in many ways. These can be good or bad ways. For example, Nepal's climate is amazing for agriculture because of the fertile soil, but its climate can cause flooding and could destroy crops. The natural resources that Nepal has is used in a variety of ways. For example, Nepal uses wood for structures, biomass fuel, and even buildings! Nepal's most important landform is Mount Everest. This is because the mountain's watershed provides clean and fresh water for people to drink.
