Flashcards
Polar and Subpolar Regions
Polar and Subpolar Regions
These regions experience extremely low temperatures, minimal rainfall, and prolonged periods of darkness during winter. The soil remains frozen year-round. Examples include Greenland and Antarctica.
Equatorial Forests
Equatorial Forests
Equatorial forests are characterized by consistently high temperatures, heavy rainfall, and dense vegetation. While the soil is fertile, it is easily degraded by the constant rain. These regions are home to a wide variety of insects and bacteria, which can transmit diseases.
South and East Asia
South and East Asia
South and East Asia, home to half the world's population, benefits from a monsoon climate ideal for rice cultivation. It boasts a dense river network, fertile soils, and rich mineral resources, leading to rapid population growth.
