Section Focus 3-3 (answers)

Today-Objective Understand Climate regions Understand tundra & permafrost Examine a climograph Start working on a study guide for a quiz on Friday

Climate Zones of the Earth Pg60-63

Tropical Climate Zones Tropical Wet & Dry Rainy season in summer & dry season in the winter Savannas(grasslands with tropical vegetation) Hot with seasonal rain Where- Africa, South & Central America, & parts of Asia Tropical Wet Hot & rainy year round Rain forests Where- Central & South America, Africa, Southwest Asia

Dry Climates Semiarid Dry with some rain Vast grass covered plains Where- Found in the interior of continents & a zone around deserts Desert Little or no precipitation Shrubs growing in gravel or sand Where- All continents except Europe. Cool/Cold deserts are found in the mid-latitudes of the northern hemisphere or in rain shadows

Mid-Latitude Climate Zones Humid Subtropical Rainy winters & hot humid summers Varied vegetation Where- Southeast USA & large areas of China (This is Our climate) Mediterranean Hot dry summers & cool moist winters chaparral or drought resistant trees Where- California, Mediterranean Sea, parts of Australia

Mid-Latitude Climate Zones Humid Continental Great variety in temperature & precipitation. Usually long cold winters & short hot summers. 4 seasons Varied vegetation Where- Mid-latitude interiors of the Northern Hemisphere. Midwest of the USA

Mid-Latitude Climate Zones Marine West Coast Cool rainy winters & mild, rainy summers Forests Where- west coasts of USA, Canada, & most of western Europe Highlands Moderate to cold depending on elevation Where- mountains of all continents Found in all Latitudes

High latitude climates Tundra flat treeless lands very little precipitation almost all located in the Northern Hemisphere Subarctic Huge temperature variations Summers short & cool Winter are always very cold Evergreen forests called taiga Canada, Russia, Alaska

TUNDRA FLAT, TREELESS LAND IN COLD CLIMATES

PERMAFROST SUBSOIL THAT IS CONSTANTLY FROZEN

High latitude climates Ice Cap Snow, ice, & permanently freezing temperatures So cold it rarely snows

Next- Interpreting Climographs Use the information on page 64 & answer the questions on the worksheet When you finish work on your study guide
