Climates summary

In the class of EM, we were told to write a summary of all the climates that we learnt in class.

Hot deserts climate are located in north africa, southern africa, sou asia, west oceania, the south eastern of USA and south eastern Spain.

Hot desert climates feature hot, typically exceptionally hot, periods of the year. In many locations featuring a hot desert climate, maximum temperatures of over 40 °C (104 °F) aren't uncommon in summer and can even soar to over 45 °C (113 °F)

An area that features this climate usually experiences from 25 to 200 mm per year of precipitation and in some years may experience no precipitation at all. In some instances, an area may experience more than 200 mm of precipitation annually, but is considered a desert climate because the region loses more water via evapotranspiration than falls as precipitation.

The tundra is the coldest of the climates with extremely low temperatures, little precipitation, poor nutrients, and short growing seasons. Biotic life is rarely found.

It is divided into arctic tundra and alpine tundra.

The arctic is known for its cold, desert-like conditions. The growing season ranges from 50 to 60 days. The average winter temperature is -34° C (-30° F), but the average summer temperature is 3-12° C (37-54° F) which enables this biome to sustain life. The only vegetation you can find is scarce

Alpine tundra is located on mountains throughout the world at high altitude where trees cannot grow. The growing season is approximately 180 days. The nighttime temperature is usually below freezing.

Generally in these cold climates, we can find a minimum temprature of -89°C (antartica) to 10° in summer days. Precipitations are in form of snow.

In  equatorial climates there are High temperatures all year round. The average monthly temperatures are about 26 – 28 degrees Celsius with a 2000 mm of rainfall or more in a year. Inside this section we can find biomes like savannah and moonson. The Savannah have temperatures that are from 5 to 15 degrees north and south of the Equator experience a tropical continental climate, including Wet and dry seasons. Aproximately there are 1000 mm of rainfall per year. During —the dry season, there is little or no —rainfall.The plants which grow in these areas must be able to survive long periods with no rainfall.

The Moonson forest Has a high mean annual temperature and a small annual temperature range with an Annual temperature of 27.05. There are long dry seasons that last several months, but the rainfall is abundant.
