1
Climate Zones Green Book pg 550-551 Purple Book pg 52-53
Blue Book 60-61 Make a slide for each climate zone
2
Graphic Organizer Climate Zone Name Location/Color code Weather
Vegetation
3
HIGH MIDDLE LOW MIDDLE HIGH
4
Climate zone name General Location Weather Conditions Vegetation
5
Anywhere in the World Climates (3)
Semi-Arid (Steppe) Arid (Desert) Highland
6
Semiarid Around deserts/Inside continents
Hot summers and cooler winters Grassland, few trees Chaparral Steppe (looks like a western ) see chart on pg 60 in blue book
7
Desert 10 in. or less rain. Summer warm-hot. Winter quite cool-freezing Scrubby short bushes and cacti Desert: scrubby bush, rock 90% of deserts are rock (sand blows off)
8
Highland High mountain regions Greatly varied temperatures
Mixed Forest to Evergreen Timberline Highland (no trees, snow on mts, evergreens) Vegetation depends on elevation.
9
Low Latitude Climates (2)
Tropical Wet (Tropical Rainforest) Tropical Wet and Dry (Tropical Savannah)
10
Tropical Wet Low lat. Always Hot Tropical Rain Forest Canopy of Trees
Dark on the lithosphere Tropical wet
11
Tropical Wet and Dry Humid Tropics-T.W.&D.
Warm all year, Rainy/Dry Seasons Tropical grassland with scattered broccoli shaped trees Tropical Savannah Broccoli shaped trees (animas eat underneath them) Tropical Wet and Dry is between Humid tropics and Deserts
12
Mid-Latitude Climates (4)
Mediterranean Humid Subtropical Humid Continental Marine West Coast
13
Mediterranean W. Coasts Dry sun warm summers/ mild wetter winters
Scrub & thin grass Woody bush trees Grapes/Olives Mediterranean
14
Humid Subtropical East coasts mid lats. Hot H. summers/Mild H. winters
Mixed forest Is it like Texas? Humid subtropical (trees 2-3 stories tall) H=humid Humid Subtropical
15
Humid Continental East Coasts Upper mid lats.
4 seasons, long cold winter & S. W. summers Mixed forest Trees>4-6 stories tall Humid Continental Trees taller than 2-3 stories, green, swampy beautiful leaf changes in the fall
16
Marine West Coast West Coast upper-mid lats.
Cloudy mild summers/ cool rainy winters Temperate Evergreen/mixed Forests Marine west coast (beautiful, clear water)
17
High Latitude Climates (3)
Subarctic Tundra Ice Cap
18
Subarctic Interior/East coasts High Lats.
subarctic Interior/East coasts High Lats. Extreme Temps., long cold winters Northern evergreen forest with permafrost
19
Tundra High lats. Coasts Cold all year Moss, low shrubs, lichen
Permafrost Tundra sounds of water melting, “squishy” no trees
20
Ice Cap Polar regions Freezing cold year round Ice caps are ice.
Lichens Ice cap
21
Humid subtropical, can tell by animals, snakes.
22
Steppe (could you film a western there?)
23
Subarctic
24
Semiarid (Steppe)
25
New England Humid Continental
26
Marine west Coast clear water, mixed forest
27

Greece Mediterranean (might look for another pic?)
37
Subarctic (highland possible answer…rocky, no trees on mts)
38
Tundra in the summertime

44
Humid Continental (see leaves changing) BUT…if we see moss, lots of green, might be Marine West Coast
45
