Study Notes
Climate Classification
- Climate groups are classified based on temperature, precipitation, and vegetation.
- The main climate groups are:
- Tropical (A)
- Desert (B)
- Temperate (C)
- Cold (D)
- Polar (E)
Tropical Climate (A)
- Average temperature of the coldest month is greater than 18°C.
- Large annual rainfall.
- Found near the equator.
Desert Climate (B)
- Potential evaporation exceeds precipitation.
- Very low rainfall and constant water deficiency.
- Covers latitudes from 15°-60°N and S of the equator.
Temperate Climate (C)
- Average temperature of the coldest month is between minus 3°C and 18°C.
- Warm summers with mild winters.
- Found between 30°-50° of latitude mainly on the eastern and western margins of the continents.
Cold Climate (D)
- Average temperature of the coldest month is less than minus 3°C.
- Subtypes include:
- Cold climate with humid winters (Df)
- Cold climate with dry winters (Dw)
Polar Climate (E)
- Temperature remains low, with no true summer and perennial ice.
- Found near the poles.
Other Climate Types
- Mediterranean Climate: hot dry summers and mild rainy winters.
- Subtropical Steppe Climate: sparse grasslands due to slightly more rainfall than the desert.
- Tundra Climate: low temperature, with no true summer and perennial ice.
- Savanna Climate: warm summers, mild winters, and abundant rainfall.
Global Warming
- Primary cause: increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
- Main anthropogenic effect: burning of fossil fuels.
- Kyoto Protocol: aimed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
- Greenhouse gases: carbon dioxide, methane, and others.
- Process of global warming: greenhouse gases absorb solar energy, preventing it from being reflected back into space.
