  Culture includes clothing, food, housing, language, religion, ceremonies, and customs. In a hot and dry climate, people tend to wear clothing to keep them cool. They don't have much plant food so eat the animals found in their area. Their housing permits breezes to blow through. Their religion may include a cool, forested heaven and prayers to rain gods. What happens to these cultures when the climate turns colder and wetter?
