How to determine climate type?
General materials will have precipitation histograms and temperature curves, which are judged based on temperature and precipitation.
For example, the Mediterranean climate has hot and dry summers and mild and rainy winters. Its precipitation is concentrated in winter, and there is less precipitation when the temperature is the highest.
The average monthly minimum temperature in the tropics is also above 15 degrees Celsius. At this time, it can be further judged based on the amount of precipitation. If the precipitation is average and abundant each month, it is a tropical rainforest climate; if the precipitation is concentrated in summer, then the climate with more annual precipitation is a tropical monsoon climate, and the climate with less precipitation is a savanna climate. The annual precipitation of the tropical monsoon climate is about 10% of that of the savanna climate. Twice; a tropical desert climate with little precipitation.
Temperate climates are also judged this way.
Which hemisphere it is must also be known before making a judgment.
On the west coast of the continent at north and south latitudes, 0 to 10 degrees is a tropical rainforest climate, 10 to 20 degrees is a savanna climate, 20 to 30 degrees is a tropical desert climate, and 30 to 40 degrees is the Mediterranean. climate and so on.
But four regions - the Central American Isthmus, southeastern Australia, the southeastern corner of Brazil, and the eastern part of Madagascar all have tropical rainforest climates, all affected by warm currents, trade winds, and topography.
When looking at the materials, sometimes only local plants or natural features will be given for you to judge. For example, the tropical rainforest climate is the tropical rainforest zone, the tropical monsoon climate and savannah climate are the tropical grassland zone, the tropical desert climate is the tropical desert zone, the Mediterranean season is the subtropical evergreen sclerophyll forest zone, etc. Therefore, you must be familiar with the seasons corresponding to various natural zones and their global distribution.
Like a tropical rainforest, it is characterized by tall and dense plants, and there are many dense bushes in the lower areas. Therefore, it is necessary to know the iconic flora and fauna of each natural zone.
Some of the main climate types, such as Italy, have a Mediterranean climate, New York and Los Angeles also have a Mediterranean climate, and Seattle has a temperate maritime climate. For example, the distribution of climate types on the African continent is often considered. Cape Town, Canberra, and Perth (Mediterranean climate) in Australia, as well as the above-mentioned four tropical rainforest climate zones, should be memorized.
More judgments on climate types are accumulated by oneself while doing questions. Nowadays, there are generally no problems in judging climate types, and most of them can be judged.
The above is from the world, but our country is a little more complicated. Some important geographical things, such as the Hengduan Mountains, the Qinling-Huaihe River line, the Tianshan Mountains, and the Wushan Mountains, are all good basis for judgment. In particular, the Qinling Mountains-Huaihe River is approximately 34 degrees north latitude, which is an important dividing line. Many of the specifics are more profound if you summarize them yourself.
The above are just some of the most basic and simple judgment methods. If you want to know more, add me as a Q and I will tell you more.
Q: 275687620 (This Q is only for children who have questions about geography or other things. Let’s discuss it together. When adding, please note which subject you are in and what aspect you have questions about. Okay. Let me identify. And I’m not good at every subject. Basically, I’m a liberal arts student who can’t deal with chemistry, physics, and biology. I also hope to share some of my experiences with everyone.
