c) New land for agricultural and construction use can be found.
d) The lithospheric plate has sunk at the point where the glacier's weight has pressed it down. When the continental glacier of the last ice age melted, the earth began to rise back to its original form.

a) Weather is a term that describes temporary climatic conditions, whereas the term climate describes long-term conditions.
b) Location in relation to the equator (latitude), elevation, distance from the nearest sea or ocean and ocean currents.
c) The Gulf Stream brings warm air to Finland from the Florida Coast on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. It warms up the Finnish climate by approximately 6 degrees.
d) The nation's location between the 60th and 70th northern longitudes, the nearby Atlantic Ocean with its Gulf Stream and the nearby Asian continent.
e) The Finnish climate is an example of an intermediate climate that contains features of both continental and maritime climate types.
A4.
a) The greenhouse effect is a process that keeps the atmosphere of planet Earth warm. Atmospheric greenhouse gases (such as carbon dioxide) let sunlight penetrate the atmosphere but prevent heat radiation from the Earth’s surface from reflecting back into space..
b) The use of fossil fuels (such as oil and coal) has increased the amount of carbon dioxide found in the planet's atmosphere. This has accellerated the greenhouse effect. In the last couple of years, the carbon emissions of developed countries have been under scrutiny, and efforts have been made to limit greenhouse gas emissions via legislative means.
c) The Finnish climate is thought to warm up by 2-3 degrees Celsius by the year 2050. This warming up can be seen especially during the winter months in the form of increased rainfall and lack of snow. The Finnish vegetation will change to favor broadleaf trees and other, southern plants. Agriculture might become more profitable as conditions for growing various crops will become more favorable.
