How does the relief affect the climate of the territory?

The formation of the climate in a particular territory is influenced not only by its geographical location, but also by the terrain. For example, in high mountains, even with a southern location, the terrain is cool (Andes at the equator). Also, the mountains can affect the humidity of the area (the Himalayas block the monsoon winds, it is humid on the south side, and dry in the north in Tibet). In many flat areas, such as the Sahara, the winds do not meet with resistance due to the low terrain and dry it out.
