Knowledge of climate zones is extremely essential to understand the earth’s biomes, identifying species under threat due to changing climate, and determining which crops can grow best in certain climatic regions.
An interactive visual window into our planet's changing climate, based on the most recent measurements and climate model predictions (read the research)
The Short Answer: There are approximately five main climate types on Earth: Tropical. Dry. Temperate. Continental. Polar. Climate is the average weather conditions in a place over a long period of time—30 years or more. And as you probably already know, there are lots of different types of climates on Earth.
IPCC WGI Interactive Atlas. A novel tool for flexible spatial and temporal analyses of much of the observed and projected climate change information underpinning the Working Group I contribution to the Sixth Assessment Report, including regional synthesis for Climatic Impact-Drivers (CIDs).
Climate zones dictate the weather and plant life native to a region. Here are the different types, plus where in the world you'll find them.
Climate Zones. The climate is the reoccurring average weather found in any particular place, measured over 30 year intervals. The Earth's tilt, rotation and land/sea distribution affect these global weather patterns, resulting in variations between different locations.
The world has several climate zones. These are summarised on the map below. The classification is based on maximum and minimum temperatures and the temperature range as well as the total and seasonal distribution of precipitation.
An Interactive Köppen–Geiger Climate Map of the entire world.
The system divides the world into five climate zones based on criteria, usually temperature, which allows for different vegetation growth. Köppen’s map used different colors and shades to represent the different climate zones of the world.
A simplified map of the world's climate zones. Local weather patterns and the arrangement of continents also affect these zones. For example, the UK has the same latitude as most of Canada...
