Distribution map of world climate types
The distribution map of world climate types is as follows:
Climate classification is the process of dividing the global climate into several types according to certain standards. Belonging to the same type of climate, its climate elements all comply with the same specified range. The world climate classification should proceed from the genetic point of view and comprehensively consider various factors of climate formation.
At the same time, we should also proceed from the perspective of production practice and adopt elements closely related to human life and production and construction to classify. The names of climate zones and climate types should be determined by the climate conditions themselves.

Definition
Climate classification is the process of dividing the global climate into several types according to certain standards. Belonging to the same type of climate, its climate elements all comply with the same specified range. Climatic classification schemes vary by purpose or discipline. It can be roughly divided into two types:
① Theoretical classification (also known as cause classification). Its focus is to classify climate according to the factors that form it, such as the Alisov (Soviet scholar) method based on air masses.
②Experimental classification methods (also known as empirical classification methods), such as the Köppen distribution method based on plant distribution, the latitudinal classification method based on low profits and the moisture balance (referring to precipitation, evaporation Moisture classification method based on the balance of the three quantities (quantity and seepage).
The basic types of global climate can be divided into equatorial rainy climate (also known as tropical rainforest climate), trade wind humid climate (also known as subtropical humid climate or temperate humid climate), temperate desert climate, temperate steppe climate, subtropical Polar continent climate and ice sheet climate, etc.
