4. Tropical Climates (A) Dry Climates (B) Mid Latitude Climates (C) Snow Climates (D) Ice Climates (E)

5. Mediterranean Climate (Cs) Temperature average between 32 and 64 F Precipitation - dry summer & wet winter Vegetation - chaparral, drought resistant woody shrubs & scattered trees –mediterranean woodland Soils - mixed Locations - West coasts of midlatitudes (find and list at least five specific countries, basins, or coasts)

11. Humid Subtropical (Cfa) Temperature average between 32 and 64 F Precipitation - wet all year Vegetation - mixed broadleafs and conifers Soils - mixed Locations - East coast of mid latitudes (find and list at least five specific countries, basins, or coasts)

19. Marine West Coast (Cfb) Temperature average between 32 and 64 F Precipitation - wet all year Vegetation - mixed but mostly conifers Soils - acidic Locations - East coast of mid latitudes north of mediterrean climates (find and list at least five specific countries, basins, or coasts)

30. Snow Climates (D) Temperature - coldest month is below 32f –warmest month is above 50F Dfa,b= Humid Continental Climate Dfc,d = Subarctic climate Dfc,d = Subacrtic Climate

31. Humid Continental (Dfa,b) Temperature - one month averages below 32F and at least one averages over 50F –great annual temperature range Precipitation - wet all year Vegetation - mostly conifers Soils - acidic Locations - Higher latitudes and interiors of large northern continents (find and list at least five specific countries, basins, or coasts)

37. Subarctic Climate (Dfc,d) Temperature average below 32F at least 4 months of the year –great annual temperature range Precipitation - minimal (5-30”) Vegetation - smaller conifers - taiga forests Soils - acidic Locations - Higher latitudes and interiors of large northern continents

45. Ice Climates (E) Temperature - monthly averages 9-12 months below 32F no summer very little precipitation under polar high and the easterlies

46. Polar Tundra Climate (ET) Temperature average below 32F 9 months of the year –great annual temperature range Precipitation - Vegetation - mosses & lichens Soils - significant permafrost Locations - Highest latitudes (65 degrees) and interiors of large northern continents

50. Polar Ice Cap (EF) Temperature average below 32F all year Precipitation - meager - desert like Vegetation - none Soils - none Locations -Glaciated regions near the polar areas and at the highest elevations
