The location of the island means that it is tropical in climate, being hot and muggy half of the year and cloudy and cooler the other half.

The Tikopian people live off of the land like most other under developed countries; they live off of the land by growing their fruits and vegetables to sustain not only themselves but the animals they choose to farm, as well as fishing the waters that surround their island. Examples of their cultivated diet include taro, breadfruit, yams, manioc, sago, pulaka, coconuts, bananas, and tobacco (Lagace and Swanson). The workload of harvesting and fishing is generally divided by sex.
These three things plus the sun's heat determine where rain falls on the planet. The sun shines almost vertically on the equator year round, but it shines on the poles at a steep angle. There are two consequences. A beam of sunlight ten square feet shines on about ten square feet of Earth's surface at the equator, but it covers more than twice that area near the poles. The sun's light and heat are less concentrated at higher latitudes.

The oceans play an important role in determining the atmospheric concentration of CO2. Changes in ocean circulation may affect the climate through the movement of CO2 into or out of the atmosphere. Earth orbital changes - The earth makes one full orbit around the sun each year. It is tilted at an angle of 23.5° to the perpendicular plane of its orbital path. Changes in the tilt of the earth can lead to small but climatically important changes in the strength of the seasons, more tilt means warmer summers
Many farms in Peru are very small and are used to produce subsistence crops; the country also has large cooperative farms.
