Climates of Latin America  What are the main two climate regions in Latin America? ________________ How does Latin America’s latitude affect their climate? _________________________ _________________________

The Rainforest  Dense vegetation  The canopy (continuous layer of leaves) can reach 130 ft.  Sunlight seldom reaches the floor.

The Rainforest  Earth’s largest rainforest, 1/3 of South America.  Contains the most species of plants and animals than anywhere else on earth.

Tropical Savanna  Hot temperatures and abundant rainfall.  Extended dry season  Grasslands such as the llanos

Humid Subtropical  Short mild winters  Long, hot, humid summers  Pampas = short grasses

Desert  Atacama Desert (Chile) – Created by the rainshadow effect of the Andes Mountains.  No rainfall has ever been recorded in some places.

Steppe  Hot summers, cool winters, light rainfall.  Grassy or lightly forested.

El Nino  Watch the video and answer the questions.  eo/environment/environment-natural- disasters/landslides-and-more/el-nino/ eo/environment/environment-natural- disasters/landslides-and-more/el-nino/
