land-atmosphere interactions

Land-atmosphere interactions refer to the dynamic exchange of energy, moisture, and heat between the Earth's surface and the atmosphere above. The type of land—such as forests, urban areas, or deserts—affects how much sunlight is absorbed or reflected, how much moisture is released into the air, and how temperatures change. These interactions influence weather patterns, climate, and even local conditions like humidity and temperature. In essence, the land's characteristics and activities help shape the atmospheric environment, creating a continuous feedback loop that impacts weather and climate systems globally.
