Distribution law, causes and characteristics of some climate types in the world

(1) Climate types controlled by single compression zone and wind zone

This climate has the characteristics of relatively single temperature and precipitation throughout the year and small seasonal variation.

Climatic characteristics

Temperate maritime climate

The west coast of China is 40 ~ 60 N/S.

It is controlled by the westerly belt all year round.

Mild and humid throughout the year (700 ~ 1 000 mm)

tropical desert climate

The mainland and the west coast of the mainland within 20 ~ 30 latitude.

Controlled by subtropical high pressure area or trade wind area all year round.

It is hot and dry all year round (

tropical rainforest climate

Between north latitude 10.

It is controlled by the equatorial low pressure belt all year round.

It is hot and rainy all year round (more than 2 000 mm).

(2) The climate type formed by the seasonal movement of pressure zone and wind zone.

mediterranean climate

The west coast of China is 30 ~ 40 N/S.

It is controlled by subtropical high belt in summer and westerly belt in winter.

It is hot and dry in summer and mild and rainy in winter (300 ~ 1 000 mm).

Tropical savanna climate

The north-south latitude is 10 ~ 20.

The dry season is controlled by the trade wind belt, and the rainy season is controlled by the equatorial low pressure belt.

The annual temperature is high, which can be divided into rainy season and dry season (750 ~ 1 000 mm).

③ monsoon climate and temperate continental climate.

Tropical monsoon climate

The east coast of the mainland is roughly between north latitude 10 and 25 degrees.

Pressure belt,

① Tropical rain forest climate in four places (eastern Madagascar in Africa, northeastern Australia, southeastern Brazil Plateau and northeastern Central America)-tropical rain forest climate far from the equator-"trade winds from the ocean+windward slopes+coastal warm currents".

② The tropical grassland climate in the equatorial region is "high terrain". For example, the East African Plateau has a high terrain and weak updraft, forming a savanna climate.

(3) the temperate continental climate in the westerly belt-"located in the westerly belt, but on the leeward slope of the mountains". For example, the Patagonia Plateau in South America, located on the east side of the Andes, is blocked by mountains and has little precipitation, forming a dry and rainy temperate continental climate.

④ The temperate maritime climate on the east coast of the mainland (southeast Australia).
