Our country spans a wide area from north to south, including temperate, tropical and cold zones, right?
my country spans a wide area from north to south, including temperate, tropical and cold zones.
1. Tropics
The English name of the tropics is Tropics. The height of the sun in this belt is very high all year round. In the vast area between the two Tropics, there are direct sun events twice a year. On the Tropic of Cancer, there is direct sunlight once a year. Moreover, the height of the sun at noon here is high all year round and does not change much. , therefore, this area can receive strong sunlight all year round and has a hot climate, which is called the tropics.
2. Subtropical zone
Also known as subtropical zone, it is a climate zone on the earth. Generally, the subtropical zone is located in the temperate zone close to the tropics (roughly around 23.5°N-40°N, 23.5°S-40°S). The subtropical climate is characterized by its summers being similar to those of the tropics, but its winters being significantly colder than those of the tropics. The average temperature in the coldest month is above 0 degrees Celsius.
3. The North Temperate Zone
refers to the climate zone, located between the Tropic of Cancer and the Arctic Circle. The latitude position of the northern temperate zone is from 66.5 degrees north latitude to 23.5 degrees north latitude, that is, between the Tropic of Cancer and the Arctic Circle. Including most of Asia, Europe, and North America. Our country's territory spans a wide range of latitudes from north to south. Most of it is located in the mid-latitudes and belongs to the northern temperate zone. A few areas in the south are located in the tropics south of the Tropic of Cancer and there is no cold zone.
Climate characteristics are as follows:
1. The most significant feature of tropical climate is that the temperature is higher throughout the year, the boundaries between the four seasons are not obvious, and the daily temperature change is greater than the annual temperature change. Due to differences in surface and precipitation, tropical climates reflect different characteristics. Near the equator, it is humid and hot all year round, with frequent thunderstorms. The annual precipitation is about 2,500 mm, and the seasonal distribution is relatively even.
2. Subtropical monsoon climate, subtropical summer dry climate (Mediterranean climate), subtropical humid climate, and subtropical arid and semi-arid climate. Weather systems active in this area include tropical cyclones, frontal cyclones, monsoon troughs, subtropical highs, westerlies, etc.
3. The north temperate climate types mainly include temperate oceanic climate, temperate continental climate and temperate monsoon climate. The North Temperate Zone is the mid-latitude zone between the Tropic of Cancer and the Polar Circle. The height of the sun at noon in this thermal zone varies greatly throughout the year, with the range of variation on the Tropic of Cancer ranging from 90° to 43°8′. Then the sun's altitude gradually decreases as the latitude increases, and in the Arctic Circle region, the amplitude varies between 46°52' and 0°.
