What climate does Tibet belong to?

Due to the influence of topography, landforms and atmospheric circulation, the climate in Tibet is unique, complex and diverse. Generally speaking, the climate in the northwest is cold and dry, and the climate in the southeast is warm and humid. So from southeast to northwest, the climate types are tropical, subtropical, temperate plateau, sub-frigid plateau, frigid plateau and so on.

In the alpine valleys and southern slopes of the Himalayas in southeastern Tibet, due to the repeated uplift of the terrain, the temperature gradually drops, and the climate changes vertically from tropical or subtropical climate to temperate, cold temperate and frigid climate.

Tibet Plateau is located in the main area of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The overall terrain of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau inclines from northwest to southeast, with complex and diverse terrain and numerous scenery.

There are steep and winding mountains, steep and deep ravines, glaciers, bare stones, Gobi and other landform types; There are a wide variety of exotic flowers and rare wild animals belonging to cold regions, temperate regions, subtropics and tropics, as well as natural wonders such as "seeing the four seasons in one mountain" and "different days in ten miles" distributed vertically. Geomorphology can be roughly divided into Himalayan mountain area, southern Tibet valley, northern Tibet plateau and eastern Tibet alpine canyon area.
