Montana is a large state with considerable variation in geography, topography and elevation, and the climate is equally varied. The state spans from below the 45th parallel (the line equidistant between the equator and North Pole ) to the 49th parallel , and elevations range from under 2,000 feet (610 m) to nearly 13,000 feet (4,000 m) above ...

Relief map of Montana. The state's topography is roughly defined by the Continental Divide, which splits much of the state into distinct eastern and western regions. [79] Most of Montana's hundred or more named mountain ranges are in the state's western half, most of which is geologically and geographically part of the northern Rocky Mountains.
Climate change is negatively impacting the US state of Montana; climate change in Montana is causing common heat waves, earlier snow melts in the spring, and a high amount of dying trees due to droughts and forest fires. In many decades, climate change in Montana will most likely impact water availability, agricultural yields, and risks for ...
The Gulf and South Atlantic states have a humid subtropical climate with mostly mild winters and hot, humid summers. Most of the Florida peninsula including Tampa and Jacksonville, along with other coastal cities like Houston, New Orleans, Savannah, Charleston and Wilmington all have average summer highs from near 90 to the lower 90s F, and lows generally from 70 to 75 °F (21 to 24 °C ...
The alpine climate in these regions strongly affects the ecosystem because temperatures fall as elevation increases, causing the ecosystem to stratify. This stratification is a crucial factor in shaping plant community, biodiversity, metabolic processes and ecosystem dynamics for montane ecosystems. [ 1 ]

The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to the U.S. state of Montana: Montana – fourth most extensive of the 50 states of the United States of America. Montana is the northernmost of the western Mountain States.
The climate of the Intermountain Region is affected by location and elevation. The sub-regions are in rain shadows from the Cascade or Sierra Nevada ranges that block precipitation from Pacific storms. The winter weather depends on latitude. In the southern portion, winters are shorter, warmer and have less winter precipitation and snow.
