  2. Temperate climate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperate_climate

    A Köppen–Geiger climate map showing temperate climates for 1991–2020 The different geographical zones of the world. The temperate zones, in the sense of geographical regions defined by latitude, span from either north or south of the subtropics (north or south of the orange dotted lines, at 35 degrees north or south) to the polar circles.

  3. Temperate deciduous forest - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperate_deciduous_forest

    Temperate conditions refer to the cycle through four distinct seasons that occurs in areas between the polar regions and tropics. In these regions where temperate deciduous forest are found, warm and cold air circulation accounts for the biome's characteristic seasonal variation. [8]

  4. Geographical zone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geographical_zone

    The five main latitude regions of Earth's surface comprise geographical zones, [1] divided by the major circles of latitude. The differences between them relate to climate. They are as follows: The North Frigid Zone, between the North Pole at 90° N and the Arctic Circle at 66°33′50.2″ N, covers 4.12% of Earth's surface.

  5. Subtropics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subtropics

    Hadley cells on the Earth's atmospheric circulation. Heating of the earth by the sun near the equator leads to large amounts of upward motion and convection winds along the monsoon trough or Intertropical Convergence Zone. The upper-level divergence over the near-equatorial trough leads to air rising and moving away from the equator aloft.

    The humid subtropical zone of the US South according to Trewartha is coloured yellow-green on this map: If using the Köppen climate classification with the 0 °C coldest-month isotherm, the subtropics extend from Martha's Vineyard, extreme SW Rhode Island, and most of Long Island to central Florida in the eastern states, include the southern ...

  7. Season - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Season

    On Earth, seasons are the result of the axial parallelism of Earth's tilted orbit around the Sun. [2] [3] [4] In temperate and polar regions, the seasons are marked by changes in the intensity of sunlight that reaches the Earth's surface, variations of which may cause animals to undergo hibernation or to migrate, and plants to be dormant ...

  8. Humid continental climate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humid_continental_climate

    The snowy city of Sapporo, Japan, has a humid continental climate (Köppen Dfa).. Using the Köppen climate classification, a climate is classified as humid continental when the temperature of the coldest month is below 0 °C [32.0 °F] or −3 °C [26.6 °F] and there must be at least four months whose mean temperatures are at or above 10 °C (50 °F). [5]

  9. Mediterranean climate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mediterranean_climate

    As stated earlier, regions with this form of a Mediterranean climate experience average monthly temperatures in excess of 22.0 °C (71.6 °F) during its warmest month and an average in the coldest month between 18 and −3 °C (64 and 27 °F) or, [3] in some applications, between 18 and 0 °C (64 and 32 °F). [4] Regions with this form of the ...
