6 Major Climate Regions Scientists classify climates according to 2 major factors: *temperature *precipitation There are 6 major climate regions: tropical, desert, temperate cold, temperate warm, polar, and highland Example of a Climate Regions Map images.encarta.msn.com/.../maps/map/T373599A.gif

6 Climate Regions: Tropical Climates Warm all year Lots of precipitation Rain forests often grow in this climate. Rain forests are forests in which plenty of rain falls year-round * Background: http://www.naturephoto-cz.com/photos/sevcik/tropical-rain-forest--destny-les-bali.jpg

6 Climate Regions: Desert Climates Receive 10 inches or less of precipitation in a year Can be hot or cold Arid (dry) Vegetation adapts * only specialized plants like cactus can survive http://weathersavvy.com/desert2_OPT.jpg

6 Climate Regions: Temperate Cold Climates Usually inland, precipitation is even year around Vegetation-a variety of trees and shrub *rainy summers and mild, rainy winters. Thick forests of tall trees are here. http://southhill.vsb.bc.ca/Departments/Humanities/Geogpraphy/Kyle/Notes/2_Atmosphere/Climographs/MarineWestCoastClimate/marine_forest.JPG

6 Climate Regions: Temperate Warm Climates Usually along the coasts Marine: damp and wet Mediterranean: warm and fairly dry Variety of Vegetation *Grasses and dense shrubs and small trees Background from- http://www.move-to-cyprus.com/images/About%203.jpg

6 Climate Regions: Polar Climates http://www.uwsp.edu/geo/faculty/ritter/images/biosphere/vegetation/tundra_ice_mounds_Alaska_DDS21_LMC0007.jpg 6 Climate Regions: Polar Climates Close to the poles Mosses and some grasses grow in the short-cold summer Or no vegetation at all *Permafrost is permanently frozen soil, doesn’t allow water to drain well so it is wet and boggy in the summer http://vulcan.wr.usgs.gov/Imgs/Jpg/Hood/Images/Hood85_mount_hood_and_lost_lake_ca1985_med.jpg

6 Climate Regions: Highland Climates Hilly and mountainous temperature, precipitation, and vegetation depend on altitude, winds and rain shadow (the drier side of a mountain)
