The document discusses different types of climates including temperate, tropical, polar, Mediterranean, arid, and mountain climates. It provides descriptions of each climate type, noting that temperate climates have four seasons and moderate temperatures, tropical climates have high temperatures and continuous rainfall year-round, polar climates are characterized by a lack of warm summers, Mediterranean climates have mild winters and rainfall, arid climates are dry, and mountain climates get colder with higher altitude and have changeable weather. The document includes a practice activity to match climate types with descriptions and answer true/false questions about the climate types.

2. TYPES OF CLIMATE

3. PRESENTATION
TEMPERATE CLIMATE
Average yearly temperatures in
these regions are not extreme,
not burning hot nor freezing
cold. Temperate means
moderate. Unlike in the tropics,
temperatures can change
greatly here, between summer
and winter. So, most places
with a temperate climate have
four seasons: summer, autumn,
winter and spring.

4. PRESENTATION
TROPICAL CLIMATE
A tropical climate is a type
of climate typical in
the tropics. It is a
damp climate in which all
twelve months have mean
temperatures above 18°C (64.4
°F). Tropical Climates have
almost continuous rainfall
throughout the year, usually in
the afternoon.

5. PRESENTATION
POLAR CLIMATE
The polar climate regions are
characterized by a lack of warm
summers. Every month in
a polar climate has an average
temperature of less than 10 °C
(50 °F). Regions with polar
climate cover more than 20%
of the Earth's area.

6. PRESENTATION
MEDITERRANEAN CLIMATE
A Mediterranean climate is
a climate as well as winters
that are cool or mild with
moderate or high rainfall. It
includes the climate of much of
the land near
the Mediterranean Sea.

7. PRESENTATION
ARID CLIMATE
Arid climate is known for
being dry, in fact, that is what
the word arid means. More
than a third of the Earth is
covered in Arid climate.
This climate is mainly found 30
degrees north and south of the
Equator due to global wind
patterns, but other factors can
cause an Arid climate.

8. PRESENTATION
MOUNTAIN CLIMATE
The temperature
on mountains becomes colder
the higher the altitude
gets. Mountains tend to have
much wetter climates than the
surrounding flat
land. Mountain weather
conditions can change
dramatically from one hour to
the next.

10. PRACTICE
Match the type of climate and its description:
It is a type of climate typical in
the tropics. It is a
damp climate in which all twelve
months have mean
temperatures above 18°C (64.4
°F). These climates have almost
continuous rainfall throughout
the year, usually in the
afternoon.
It is is known for being dry, More
than a third of the Earth is
covered in this climate. It is
mainly found 30 degrees north
and south of the Equator due to
global wind patterns, but other
factors can cause it.
It is a climate as well as winters
that are cool or mild with
moderate or high rainfall. It
includes the climate of much of
the land near
the Mediterranean Sea.

11. PRACTICE
Choose true or false.
In temperate climate most places have four
seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter.
Tropical climates have continuous rainfall
throughout the year.
Polar climate cover less than 20% of the
Earth's area.
Mountain weather cannot change
dramatically from one hour to the next.
