Question

22. Figure 1 presents a map of Northern Africa and Western Burope consider annual precipitation totals as one moves northward from žaire to France along the line labelled A-B. The values of pre- cipitation are shown along the bottom of the figure in the graph Note that the precipitation totals are highest near the equator decrease to a minimum around 25, and rise fron there as one belts. Based on all preceeding homework, class lectures textbook information, determine the precise Koeppen climate sification for each of the 7 zones. (7) climatic zone 1: zone 2: zone 3: zone 4: zone 5: zone 6: zone 7: 23. Why are there no D climates in the southern hemisphere? 24. Although Df and Ctb climates are at similar latitudes, they have very different annual temperature ranges. How do their annual temperature ranges differ and what climatic control causes this? 25. Verkhoy ansk, usSR is considered to have the most "continental" clinate of anywhere in the world. What is meant by the term continental" as used here and why is Verkhoyansk the xost continental? (See figure 2) st ET climates have small annual totals of precipitation. What factor causes these low precipitation value

Explanation / Answer

D climate are designated as Dfa or Dfb. Dfa are the humid continental with hot summer and Dfb are the humid continental with a very cold winter. There are no D climate in the southern hemisphere because there are no large landmasses in this hemisphere.

Continental subartic climate with severe winters are designated as either Dwd or Dfd. This climate is found only in eastern Siberia. The most notable example is the Verkhoyansk which is the most continental climate and is synomous with the extreme severe cold winter.

Polar climate consists of ET or EF. ET is the tundra climate which is characterized by having atleast one month whose average is above 0 degree celsius or 32 degree Fahrenheit. There is very little precipitation in this zone since the climate is dry and cold throughout the year.
