Polar Regions

Regions with a polar climate are characterized by a

lack of warm summers. No month has an average temperature of 10 °C or higher.
The tundra covers over 20% of the earth. The sun shines 24 hours in the summer, and barely ever shines at all in the winter.
Слайд 4

Polar climate results in treeless tundra, glaciers, or a permanent or semi-permanent layer of ice.

semi-permanent layer of ice.

Solar radiation has a lower intensity in polar regions because it

travels a longer distance through the atmosphere, and is spread across a larger surface area.

Temperate climate

In geography, temperate latitudes of the globe lie between

the tropics and the polar circles. The changes in these regions between summer and winter are generally subtle, warm or cool, rather than extreme, burning hot or freezing cold. However, a temperate climate can have very unpredictable weather.
Слайд 7

Within these borders there are many climate types, which are generally

Within these borders there are many climate types, which are

generally grouped into six categories: oceanic, mediterranean, humid subtropical, continental, arid and semi-arid.

The cool temperate type of climate has rain all year with

less extremes of heat or cold.

Cool temperate climate

This climate is found in much of northwest

Europe, New Zealand and coastal North America.

Deciduous trees (which lose their leaves in winter) are found

in the warmer areas, and coniferous trees (with needle-type leaves) are found everywhere.

Changeable weather is characteristic of these areas and they are strongly

Changeable weather is characteristic of these areas and they are

strongly influenced by large moving weather systems called depressions or 'lows', and anticyclones or 'highs'.
Слайд 12

In subtropical climates the winters are relatively warm, but not as

In subtropical climates the winters are relatively warm, but not

as hot as the summer season. These climates rarely—if ever—see frost or snow, and you can adore plants such as palm, citrus and many broadleaf evergreens flourish.

TROPICAL

A tropical climate is a type of climate typical in

the tropics. Climate classification defines it as a non-arid climate in which all twelve months have mean temperatures above 18°C (64.4 °F).

A desert is a landscape or region that receives an

extremely low amount of precipitation, less than enough to support growth of most plants. Deserts are defined as areas with an average annual precipitation of less than 250 millimetres per year.

Rainforests are forests characterized by high rainfall. The monsoon trough,

alternately known as the intertropical convergence zone, plays a significant role in creating Earth's tropical rain forests.

The largest tropical rainforests exist in the Amazon Basin, in

Nicaragua, the southern Yucatán Peninsula, in much of equatorial Africa, in much of southeastern Asia, northern and eastern Australia.

Mountains cover 54% of Asia, 36% of North America, 25%

of Europe, 22% of South America, 17% of Australia, and 3% of Africa. As a whole, 24% of the Earth's land mass is mountainous.
