- Always above 18 degrees
- Lots of precipitation (=rain) (average 2000 mm a year)
- Close to the equator (low latitude)
- There are no seasons (spring, summer, autumn, winter)

Veel dieren, omdat het er genoeg geregend en de temperatuur altijd hoog is.

Slide 6 - Slide

Steppe climate
- Vegetation: some grasses or bushes, no trees
- little precipitation: 200-500mm a year
- Low latitude
Climate with high temperatures and little precipitation that
limits vegetation to grass.

Desert Climate
- Little precipitation (less than 200mm a year) 
- Almost no vegetation
- Low latitude

Climate with usually high temperatures and nearly no
precipitation. 

Slide 8 - Slide

Continental climate
  • Warm summers, cold winters
  • Example: Russia
  • High latitude

Slide 9 - Slide

Tundra climate

  • It is always cold here, trees can no longer grow
  • High latitude

Het is hier erg koud, waardoor er geen bomen groeien.

Slide 10 - Slide

Polar climate 
  • Can be found where it is close to freezing point all year around
  • at high latitude 
  • or in high mountain ranges
