From equator to the poles
Low lattitudes:




High lattitudes:

Tropical rainforest climate
Savanna climate
Steppe climate
Desert climate

    Maritime climate
    Continental climate
    Tundra climate
    Polar climate

Slide 7 - Slide

Tropical rainforest
  • at the Equator
  • always warm
  • it rains almost every day
  • little difference between seasons

Slide 8 - Slide

Savanna
  • lies to the north and south of the tropical rainforest
  • always warm
  • rainy season provides change, dry and wet periods in the year
  • trees grow

Slide 9 - Slide

Steppe
  • borders on the savanna climate
  • never really gets cold
  • rainy season is shorter than in the savanna climate
  • no trees grow anymore

Slide 10 - Slide

Desert
  • usually borders the steppe climate
  • warm during the day
  • very dry, on average less than 250 mm of precipitation per year
  • rock deserts and sometimes only sand

Slide 11 - Slide

Maritime (temperate sea)
  • lies in the vicinity of seas and oceans
  • difference between summer and winter temperatures is not that great
  • summer and winter season

Slide 12 - Slide

Continental
  • summer warm
  • cold winter
  • shorter growing season compared with maritime climate

Slide 13 - Slide

Tundra
  • in the summer the temperature rises above 0 ⁰C in winter drops below 0 ⁰C
  • summer is short and winter is long
  • ground frozen for a long period
  • no trees grow

Slide 14 - Slide

Polar
  • temperature always remains below 0 ⁰C
  • when the temperature is below 0 ⁰C all year round and the area is above 1500 meters, this is called a high mountain climate
