Question

State the factors responsible for the climatic classification of natural regions

Answer 1

The amount of insolation decreases as the latitude increases. So there is a difference in different seasons in differing latitudes, e.g., the equatorial region remains hot and wet throughout the year, the tropical monsoon land experiences particular summer, rainy, autumn-winter, and spring seasons. The tropical deserts are almost dry and hot. The temperate grasslands are noted for short summer and long winters.
The Mediterranean region is noted for warm summer and rainy winter. Taiga region has a long cold winter and a very short summer. Tundra region is known for perpetual snow due to freezing temperature all the year. Due to the tilted axis of the earth. North and South Polar region experience six months day and six months night respectively with continuous lowest temperature below – 58°C.
