1
regime resembles the climate of the lands in the Mediterranean Basin, parts of western North America, parts of Western and South Australia, in southwestern South Africa
2
climate zone where winter rainfall (and sometimes snowfall) is associated with large storms that the westerlies steer from west to east. Most summer rainfall occurs during thunderstorms and from occasional tropical cyclones
3
has little precipitation,[25] and monthly temperatures which are above 10 °C (50 °F) for one to three months of the year, with permafrost in large parts of the area due to the cold winters.
4
climate is marked by variable weather patterns and a large seasonal temperature variance
5
is a grassland biome located in semiarid to semi-humid climate regions of subtropical and tropical latitudes, with average temperatures remain at or above
6
is typically found along the west coasts at the middle latitudes of all the world\'s continents, and in southeastern Australia
7
or polar ice sheet, is a high-latitude region of a planet or moon that is covered in ice. Ice caps form because high-latitude regions receive less energy as solar radiation from the sun than equatorial regions, resulting in lower surface temperatures.
8
are characterized by high rainfall, with definitions setting minimum normal annual rainfall between 1,750 millimetres (69 in) and 2,000 millimetres (79 in). Mean monthly temperatures exceed 18 °C (64 °F) during all months of the year
9
is a seasonal prevailing wind which lasts for several months, ushering in a region\'s rainy season.Regions within North America, South America, Sub-Saharan Africa, Australia and East Asia are monsoon regimes
10
is a landscape form or region that receives very little precipitation. Deserts usually have a large diurnal and seasonal temperature range, with high or low, depending on location daytime temperatures
11
is a dry grassland with an annual temperature range in the summer of up to 40 °C (104 °F) and during the winter down to −40 °C (−40 °F)
12
occurs in the far Northern Hemisphere, north of the taiga belt, including vast areas of northern Russia and Canada.
