Maps of India

I made three maps of India:
A 2d Climate map and an elevation map


And a 3d clay physical features map.


How do physical features, climate and elevation relate to each other?
Physical features and elevation often cause the climate to be the way it is. For example, the Himalayas are cold because they are high up. In general, very high places are cold. Also the climate can shape the physical features. Whether an area is rainy or not determines whether it is a desert or not.
What conclusions can you draw? (Think about natural resources, climate/weather, and human settlement.)

I have come to the conclusion that physical features, climate and elevation are significant to humans because they affect where they can settle. The climate determines some of an area's natural resources (e.g. lush fruit trees won't grow in a desert) and they both affect whether an area is settlable.
