Is the climate the same in the United States and China?

The climate is very rich, ranging from cold zone to tropical zone, but China is mainly the difference between north and south, and the United States is mainly the difference between east and west.

Climate is determined by atmospheric circulation and underlying surface conditions. China is backed by Eurasia and faces the Pacific Ocean, with a strong monsoon climate. In addition, the uplift of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau also aggravated the formation of monsoon climate characteristics in China.

North America is much smaller than Eurasia, so there is no obvious monsoon climate. The humid climate in the United States is mainly influenced by the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, and the Pacific sea breeze is blocked by the Rocky Mountains, which has little influence on the United States.
