What are the characteristics and causes of climate in Europe?

1, European climate characteristics: most parts of Europe have temperate maritime climate, as well as Mediterranean climate, temperate continental climate, polar climate and plateau mountain climate. Temperate maritime climate is the most typical. Europe is the sixth continent in the world, with an area of10170,000 square kilometers.

2. European climate reasons: Europe is located in the middle and high latitudes, and the sea is in the west. The coastline is serrated under the action of seawater, and the ocean is the main reason for controlling climate. Affected by the ocean, Europe has a mild climate, abundant rainfall, high relative humidity and cloudy weather, including the inland areas in the northern Alps.

Climatic characteristics of Europe:

The European continent is a big peninsula extending from the Eurasian continent to the Atlantic Ocean, accounting for 1/5 of the Eurasian continent. With a coastline of 37,900 kilometers, the mainland is the most tortuous and complicated continent in the world, with the most severe cutting.

Most of Europe is located in the north temperate zone, with a mild and humid climate. The western Atlantic coast is cool in summer, mild in winter, rainy and foggy, which is a typical maritime temperate broad-leaved forest climate. The east is far from the ocean and belongs to the continental temperate broad-leaved forest climate.

The northern part of the eastern European plain belongs to temperate coniferous forest climate. The arctic ocean coast is cold in winter and cool and short in summer, which belongs to the frozen tundra climate. The southern Mediterranean coastal area is warm and rainy in winter and hot and dry in summer, which belongs to the subtropical Mediterranean climate.
