The Koppen Climate Classification System
Many classification systmes have been used to classify climates.
Perhaps the best known and most commonly used system is this type.
This system is often used because it classifies the world into climatic regions in a realistic way.
3.
Humid Tropical Climates
Humid tropical climates are climates without winters.
Every month in such a climate has a mean temperature above 18 degress Celsius.
There are two types of tropical climates -Wet tropical climater & - Dry tropical climates.
4.
Wet Tropical Climates
The tropical rain forests of Costa Rica are typical of a wet tropical climate.
Wet tropical Climates have high temperatures and much annual precipitation.
The intensity of the sun's rays in the tropics is consistently high
5.
Tropical Wet and Dry Climates
Bordering the wet tropics are climates classified as tropical wet and dry climates.
Tropical Wet and dry climates have temperatures and total precipitations similar to those in the wet tropics, but experience distinct dry seasons
Savannas, Which are tropical grasslands with drought resistant trees, are typical of tropical wt and dry climates.
6.
Humid Mid-latitude Climates
Humid mid-latitude climates fall into groups - Climates with mild winters & - Climates with sever winters
Climates with mild winters have and average tmeperature in the coldest month that is below 18 defrees Clesius but above -3c.
Climates with severe winters have an average tempertaure in the coldest month that is below -3c.
7.
Humid Mid-latitude with severe winters.
There are two types of humid mid-latitude climates with severe witners: the humid continental climates and the subarctic climates.
Continental landmasses strongly influence both of these climates.
As a result, both of these climates are absent from the Southern Hemisphere. There, oceans dominate the mid-latitude zone.
8.
Dry Climates
A dry climate is one in whcih the yearly precitation is not as great as the potential loss of water by evporation
Evaporation, in turn, is heavily linked to the temperature of an area.
There are two type of dry climates: -arid(desert)
9.
Polar climates
Polar climates are those in which the mean temperature of the warmest is below 10 degress Celsius.
Polar winters are periods of perpetual night, or nearly so.
During the summer, temperatures remain cool despite the long hours of daylight.
Very little precipitation falls in polar regions.
10.
Highland Climates
Highland climates are localized.
This means they are much different from climates in nearby surrounding areas.
Conditions of highland climates often vary abruptly from one place to another.
