What is the main climate in North America?

Question 1: What is the main climate in North America? The climate is mainly temperate continental climate.

North America spans tropical, temperate and frigid zones, and its climate is complex and diverse. It is dominated by temperate continental climate and sub-frigid coniferous forest climate.

Question 2: What is the main climate in North America? The main climate in North America is (temperate continental climate) and (sub-frigid coniferous forest climate).

North America spans cold zone, warm zone and hot zone, and its climate types are complex and diverse. However, most parts of North America are located in temperate zone, dominated by temperate continental climate and subtropical coniferous forest climate, and the tropical range is relatively narrow.

Question 3: What is the main climate in North America? The main climate in North America is (temperate continental climate) and (sub-frigid coniferous forest climate).

North America spans cold zone, warm zone and hot zone, and its climate types are complex and diverse. However, most parts of North America are located in temperate zone, dominated by temperate continental climate and subtropical coniferous forest climate, and the tropical range is relatively narrow.

Question 4: Where is most of North America located? What is its climate? What is its main climate? Most of North America is located in the north temperate zone, with temperate continental climate and cold zone climate as the main climate.

Question 5: What is the main climate type on the west coast of North America? The climate on the west coast of the United States can be roughly divided into maritime climate and Mediterranean climate. Marine climate is the most basic climate type on the earth. The general feature is that it is less influenced by the mainland and more influenced by the ocean. Under the condition of maritime climate, the annual and daily variations of temperature are relatively mild, and the daily variation of annual variation is smaller than that of continental climate. The temperature in spring is lower than in autumn. The annual maximum and minimum temperatures appear later than continental climate; The hottest month is in August and the hottest month in Leng Yue is in February.

The climate formed by the action of huge water bodies in the ocean. Including the ocean surface or island and the climate of the offshore part of the mainland where the main airflow comes from the ocean. The maritime climate has the following characteristics:

① The annual and diurnal variations of temperature are very small, and even diurnal variations are not observed on the ocean surface. The annual extreme value is generally 1 month later than that of Chinese mainland, such as February in Leng Yue and August in the warmest month. At high latitudes, Leng Yue may be in March, and the warmest month may be in September (such as San Francisco). Autumn is warmer than spring.

(2) The seasonal distribution of precipitation is relatively uniform, with more precipitation days but less intensity. There are many clouds and high humidity.

(3) There are many tropical ocean storms, such as the southwest of the North Pacific and the South China Sea of China, where typhoons have a strong influence. Tropical storm (including typhoon) is a very important meteorological disaster.

④ Cloudy weather with high humidity. Most of the mainland areas near the ocean have maritime climate characteristics, and the coastal areas of western Europe are typical maritime climate areas on the mainland. The Mediterranean climate is a maritime climate, which appears on the west coast of the mainland between 30 and 40 latitudes. The Mediterranean coast is the most obvious, and other regions, such as California coast in North America, central Chile in South America, and the Cape of Good Hope at the southern tip of Africa, have similar climates.

The Mediterranean climate is characterized by the westerlies in winter, frequent frontal cyclones and mild climate. The temperature in Leng Yue is between 4 ~ 10℃, and there is abundant precipitation. In summer, controlled by subtropical high, the airflow sinks, the climate is hot and dry with little rain, few clouds and plenty of sunshine. The annual precipitation is 300 ~ 1000 mm, accounting for 60% ~ 70% in winter and only 30% ~ 40% in summer. There is more precipitation in winter than in summer.

There is a great difference in summer temperature between coastal areas and inland areas. Affected by cold ocean currents, the coastal areas have low temperatures, the hottest month is below 22℃, and the air is humid and foggy, which is called cool summer type. Inland, far away from the ocean, the ocean regulation is small, the air is dry and warm, and the hottest month temperature is above 22, which is called warm summer type. The Mediterranean climate is characterized by less rain in high temperature period and more rain in low temperature period; This uncoordinated cooperation is very unfavorable to plants. During the growing season, plants must undergo dry heat exercise. In order to reduce evaporation, natural vegetation is mostly evergreen broad-leaved forest such as dwarf trees and shrubs.

Question 6: What is the main climate type on the west coast of North America? The climate type of the west coast of North America is mainly (temperate maritime climate). The tall Cordillera Mountains prevent the westerly wind from the Pacific Ocean from moving eastward, while the North Pacific Warm Current and Alaska Warm Current flow northward, which makes the temperate maritime climate on the west coast of North America extend northward, showing a narrow distribution from north to south.
