5. TROPICAL ZONE
(GROUP 1 CLIMATE: Low-Altitude Climate)
Several biomes are found in this type of
climate.
• Tropical rain forests (Rainforest)
• Wet-Dry Tropical Climates (Savanna)
• Dry Tropical Climate (Desert)
7. Dry Tropical
climate(Desert)
• are found on the western coasts
of continents
• trade winds start to originate from
these locations and go toward the
equator
8. TROPICAL GRASSLANDS)
• areas that get low to moderate
amounts of precipitation found
along the edges of tropical
deserts
• only grasses, shrubs and a few
small trees grow in these areas
10. Temperate Zone
• is characterized by the four
changing seasons, namely: spring,
summer, autumn or fall and winter
• found between 30˚-60 ˚latitudes
north and south of the equator
• includes forests, grasslands and
deserts
13. Mid continental
climates (Deciduous Forest)
• The plants that shed their
leaves on autumn (fall) are
known as deciduous trees,
thus the name deciduous
forests.
15. POLAR ZONE
• Polar zones are also called
arctic climates due to yearlong
cold climate with no summer.
• This zone include the ice caps of
Greenland and Antarctica.
16. BOREAL FOREST
CLIMATE (Taiga Biome)
• Taigas are one of the largest biomes.
• also called a coniferous forest
because most plants are conifers
(cone-bearing plants)
17. TUNDRA
• They are characterized by long
and severe winter seasons, which
create frozen ground known as
permafrost.
