Climate classification

Wladmir Köppen 
Climate classification system of 1884

Vegetation and animals varies around the world

Vegetation, latitude and altitude

Köppen noticed how different plants grow in different climates

The 1st row of main climates: A to E are always written in capital letters. 

The 2nd row differentiates between them: A, C and D have non-capital second letters while B and E do have capital second letters.

(The 3rd row is there to explain the difference and isn't added in the Köppen system)
