Climate Regions

Scientists Classify Climate According to Two Major Factors Temperature Precipitation

Köppen (KEP un) System Included distinct vegetation in different areas. Identifies broad climate regions ◦ Each has smaller subdivisions

Six Main Climate Regions Tropical Rainy Dry Temperate Marine Temperate Continental Polar Highlands

Tropical Rainy Subdivisions Tropical Wet – Always hot and humid; Heavy rainfall; 6 Centimeters per month all year long.

Tropical Wet Rainforest

Tropical Rainy Subdivisions Tropical Wet - and - Dry – Always hot; Alternating wet and dry seasons; Heavy rainfall in the wet season.

Tropical Wet - Dry Savanna – Grassland close to the equator; 120 centimeters of rain per year.

Dry Climate Subdivisions Arid – Arid Regions/Deserts; Less than 25 centimeters of rain; Hot and Sandy, Cold or Rocky.

Dry Climate Subdivisions Semi-Arid – Dry; centimeters of precipitation per year.

Semi-arid Steppe – prairie or grassland

Temperate Marine Climate Subdivisions Marine West Coast – Mild winters; Cool summers; Moderate precipitation all year.

Temperate Marine Climate Subdivisions Mediterranean – Warm; Dry summers; Rainy winters.

Temperate Marine Climate Subdivisions Humid Subtropical – Hot summers; Cool winters

Temperate Continental Climate Subdivisions Humid Continental – Hot, humid summers; Cold winters; moderate precipitation all year.

Temperate Continental Climate Subdivisions Subarctic – Short, cool summers; Long, cold winters; Light precipitation mainly in summer.

Polar Climate Subdivisions Icecap – Always below freezing ( At or below 0º Celsius).

Polar Climate Subdivisions Tundra – Always cold; Short, cool summers; Bitterly cold winters.

In The Tundra Permafrost – Permanently frozen soil; cannot drain… wet and boggy in summer.

Highlands Highlands – Cooler and wetter than nearby lowlands. (Temperature decreases with altitude)
