  19. World Climate Regions With your host: I pity the fool that doesn’t learn the world’s climate regions! Mr. T

  20. World Climate Regions Climate Zones • Review time, Sucka! • Tropical = Low Latitudes • Temperate = Middle Latitudes • Polar = High Latitudes

  21. World Climate Regions How it works! • OK, listen up! • Use your Tour sheets to follow along with the “T”! • For each region, I’ll talk about what it is, its vegetation, and where you can find it. • Only fools use the book to answer the questions while I talk!

  22. World Climate Regions First up, the Low Latitudes! That’s “Tropical” people!

  23. World Climate Regions Low Latitudes • Tropical Wet • Hot & humid all year • High rainfall, over 60 in/year • Located along • the equator

  24. World Climate Regions Low Latitudes • Tropical Wet • Vegetation: • Rainforests • Very diverse • (trees, vines, exotic flowers) • Green year round b/c of rain

  25. World Climate Regions Low Latitudes Mr. T’s Top 3 Destinations: Amazon River Basin Ecuador Congo River Basin

  26. World Climate Regions Low Latitudes • Tropical Wet/Dry • Hot all year • Dry season in • winter • Wet season in • summer

  27. World Climate Regions Low Latitudes • Tropical Wet/Dry • Vegetation: • Similar to tropical • rainforest • Dense tree and • ground cover • Savannah

  28. World Climate Regions Low Latitudes Mr. T’s Top 3 Destinations: India West Africa Southeast Asia

  29. World Climate Regions Take the Mr. T Challenge! • What region can you find • grasslands? 2. What region sees rainfall every day? 3. What region has pronounced wet & dry seasons? Time to think!

  30. World Climate Regions Now for the Middle Latitudes! You know, in the Temperate Zone. It’s where you live, fool!

  31. World Climate Regions Middle Latitudes • Arid Climate • Desert • Hot & dry all year • Receives less than • 10 inches of rain • a year.

  32. World Climate Regions Middle Latitudes • Arid Climate • Vegetation: • Plants adapted • to heat & • drought • (I.E. cacti)

  33. World Climate Regions Middle Latitudes Mr. T’s Top HOT Spots: Atacama DesertGobi Desert Sahara Desert

  34. World Climate Regions Middle Latitudes • Semi-Arid Climate • Located on the • margins of • deserts • Unpredictable • rains, but more • than a desert

  35. World Climate Regions Middle Latitudes • Semi-Arid Climate • Vegetation: • Similar to desert • Can support grasses (Steppe)

  36. World Climate Regions Middle Latitudes Mr. T is STEPPE-ING out: African Sahel Mongolia (Northern & Central Asia)

  37. World Climate Regions Middle Latitudes • Marine West Coast Climate • Found in coastal areas • Influenced by sea/ocean • Mild & wet year round Cities here commonly see heavy fog!

  38. World Climate Regions Middle Latitudes • Marine West Coast Climate • Vegetation: • Variable mix of evergreen & deciduous forests

  39. World Climate Regions Middle Latitudes Mr. T’s Marine Hangouts: Seattle London Arrrgh! London fog makes my gold chains hard to see!

  40. World Climate Regions Middle Latitudes • Humid Subtropical Climate • Hot, humid • summers • Cool/cold • winters • It’s home!

  41. World Climate Regions Middle Latitudes • Humid Subtropical Climate • Vegetation: • Dense deciduous forests • Trees cycle w/ • seasons
