उत्तर
- Continental climate :
- As the name suggests, this climate is experienced in the eastern parts of Finland, Poland, Russia, the Baltic states, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia.
- Great variations in summer and winter temperatures and low amounts of summer rainfall are features of this type of climate. Thus, it is also called the continental climate.
- maritime Climate :
- Maritime climates are found in locations that take on the temperature characteristics of a large body of water.
- They are characterized by much less extreme annual temperature variations, featuring relatively mild summers and winters.
- Maritime climates are sometimes called “marine” climates. Both terms are derived from the Latin word mare, which means “sea.”
