What does Greece’s unique Mediterranean style mean?

The Mediterranean climate is a rather special climate. A simple summary is that it is rainy in winter and dry in summer, which is exactly the opposite of the feeling of dry winter and rainy summer for our readers who live in temperate zones. Therefore, most of the plants here are drought-tolerant plants that are very different from those in other parts of the world. People living in the Mediterranean climate zone have developed relatively developed irrigation systems for this purpose.

The formation of the Mediterranean climate is mainly controlled by the westerly wind belt in winter, with frequent frontal cyclone activity; in summer, it is controlled by the subtropical high pressure belt, with sinking airflow. In the Mediterranean region, the summer is controlled by the subtropical high pressure zone. The water temperature in the Mediterranean is lower than that of the land, forming high pressure, which increases the influence of the subtropical high pressure zone. In winter, the water temperature in the Mediterranean is relatively high, forming low pressure, attracting westerly winds, and causing The power of the west wind was greatly strengthened. Most of the Greek blue-and-white buildings we see in TV and movie productions are located in the Mediterranean climate zone.

Climate, as a natural phenomenon that we are immersed in, has attracted more and more attention from the world. Due to the damage and impact of human development on the climate, various climate changes now pose a threat to human survival and development. You know, the dominant creatures in the history of the earth, such as dinosaurs, became extinct due to large-scale changes in climate. Therefore, how to make good use of and protect climate resources has become a global issue.

Climate resources

Climate resources are a brand-new scientific concept that emerged later than meteorological resources, which is basically synchronized with the time when humans perceive climate change. The "Draft Second Long-term Plan of the World Meteorological Organization" briefly discusses this concept: "Climate is an important natural resource that is beneficial to mankind, but it may also cause natural disasters." It can be said that anything in nature that is beneficial to the human economy The active climate conditions, including the various special solar radiation, heat, moisture, air, and wind energy contained in the climate, can all be called climate resources. Different from meteorological resources, climate resources cover a wider area, last longer and are more stable. There are precedents for the utilization of climate resources in ancient my country. For example, "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" wrote that "the way of ordinary farmers is that the original (i.e., season, season) is a treasure", and the climate is called a resource (treasure) for agricultural production. ). In ancient my country, the twenty-four solar terms and the seventy-two horoscopes were proposed as a scientific method to grasp the farming season and make good use of climate resources. The objects of climate resources are mainly agriculture, commerce, military and other fields. The growth of agricultural products of course depends on favorable climate resources. Different agricultural products will be planted according to different characteristics in each climate zone. In the commercial field, as human beings pay more attention to health, People are paying more and more attention to climate resources and making more and more use of climate resources. This is because humans live at the bottom of the atmosphere and have the strongest perception of climate change, and the resulting related technologies and products are even more common. Of course, climate resources are not an inexhaustible resource. If humans blindly ask for it without taking the initiative to protect climate resources, then they will say no to humans in their own way.
