The altitude of the land has an effect on the temperatures. The land in China varies from low altitudes to very high altitudes of 3.3 meters to above 5500 meters (China Highlights). The city of Beijing is located in the Northern part of China with an altitude of 44 meters (China Highlights). The city of Beijing has a variety of weather temperatures as the seasons change. During the winter the atmosphere keeps Beijing colder with some snow and during the summer, the atmosphere keeps Beijing very hot. Ocean currents are something that do not have an effect on the control of temperature. China is already cozy between Mongolia, India, Myanmar, and other countries so most of the land is being bordered by land and not ocean waters. Beijing is about 2 hours west away from the ocean.
The pollution levels in China have been going up each year
and records show that the smog in the major cities of China has been barely
making it suitable to live in (Deutsche Welle). The air pollution has been rising to the
maximum of 14 times the maximum level which could play a part in warming up the
atmosphere and causing the annual temperatures to increase (Deutsche Welle). As
the temperature increases there will be many plants and animals that will not
know how to adapt very well. When the water of the ocean heats up year by year,
it causes it to make stronger hurricanes and could potentially reach the city
of Beijing. With the pollution increasing it could lead to drought which would
affect not only Beijing but China in a whole.
