English assignment done by one of my student Shania, Science major.

3. Climate is the regular pattern of weather conditions
of a particular place: a mild/temperate/warm/wet
climate.
Climate is the statistics (usually, mean
or variability) of weather, usually over a 30-year
interval. It is measured by assessing the patterns of
variation in temperature, humidity, atmospheric
pressure, wind, precipitation, atmospheric particle
count and other meteorligical variables in a given
region over long periods of time.

5. The factors which influence a climate
Temperature
 a measure of the warmth or coldness of an object or substance with
reference to some standard value.
Humidity
 The amount of moisture in the air.
Seasons
 Aperiod of the year characterized by particular conditions of weathe,tem
perature, etc.
Rainfall
 the amount of water falling in rain, snow, etc., within a given time andar
ea, usually expressed as a hypothetical depth of coverage.
Natural Disasters
 Any event or force of nature that has catastrophic consequences, suchas
avalanche, earthquake, flood, forest fire, hurricane, lightning, tornado,ts
unami, and volcanic eruption.

6. An ideal climate for me is the temperature is around 23-33 celcius degree. Same with the
temperature in Indonesia (Tropical). With 23-33 celcius degree the humidity is around 54-98%.
Because of the humidity, many people feel tired and need to sleep. For the seasons, they have 2
seasons. There are rainy season and dry season. For the rainfall around 2000 – 3000
mm/year. This situation can cause flooding if the rainfall is higher, smog
and drought because of the dry season.

8. I. Mild (Temperate Climate)
 Regions with mild and continental climates are also called temperate
regions. Both climate types have distinct cold seasons. In these parts
of the world, climate is influenced mostly by latitude and by a region’s
position on the continent.
 The type of mild climate known as humid subtropical climate is usually
found on the eastern sides of continents. In cities such as Savannah,
Georgia, in the U.S.; Shanghai, China; and Sydney, Australia, summers
are hot and humid. Winter can be severely cold. Precipitation is
spread evenly through the year and totals 76 to 165 centimeters (30-
65 inches). Hurricanes and other violent storms are common in these
regions.

9. Good Points:
1. The condition are cold and warm.
2. The weather change isn’t really extreme.
Bad Points:
1. People will have sun burn because they are radiated by the sun.
2. The soil or the land isn’t good for the agriculture aspect.

10. II. Mediterranean
The mild climate type called Mediterranean climate has a warm
summer and a short, mild, and rainy winter. It is found on the west
coasts of continents between 30 and 40 degrees latitude, and along
the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. Mediterranean summers
feature clear skies, cool nights, and little rain. The city of
Jerusalem, Israel, once had no rain in July for more than 100 years.


11. Bad Points:
1. They have heterogeneous plants
2. The condition is too extreme. The minimum temperature is -40 degree celcius and for the
maximal temperature is +40 degree celcius.
3. The don’t have any food variety.
4. The soil isn’t good for agriculture.
Good Point:
1. The temperature is warm.

12. III. Tropical
There are three climate types in the tropical group: tropical wet; tropical monsoon; and tropical wet
and dry.
Places with a tropical wet climate are also known as rain forests. Rain forests have the most
predictable weather on Earth, with warm temperatures and regular rainfall. Annual rainfall exceeds
150 centimeters (59 inches), and the temperature varies more during a day than it does over a year. The
coolest temperature, about 20-23 degrees Celsius (68-73 degrees Fahrenheit), occurs just before dawn.
Afternoon temperatures usually reach 30-33 degrees Celsius (86-91 degrees Fahrenheit). Rain forests
experience very little seasonal change, meaning average monthly temperatures remain fairly constant.

13. Tropical wet climates exist in a band extending about 10 degrees of latitude on
either side of the Equator. This part of the globe is always under the influence of
the intertropical convergence zone. The zone follows a pendulum-like path during
the course of a year, moving back and forth across the Equator with the seasons. It
moves north during summer in the Northern Hemisphere, and south during the
northern winter.
Some tropical wet climates are wet throughout the year. Others experience more
rainfall during the summer or winter, but they never have especially dry seasons.
The U.S. state of Hawaii; Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; and Belém, Brazil, are
examples of areas with tropical wet climates.

14. Tropical monsoon climates are most common in southern Asia and West Africa.
A monsoon is a wind system that reverses its direction every six months. They
usually flow from sea to land in the summer, and from land to sea in the winter.
Summer monsoons bring large amounts of rainfall to tropical monsoon regions.
People living in these regions depend on the seasonal rains to bring water to their
crops. India and Bangladesh are famous for their monsoon climate patterns.
The third type of climate, tropical wet and dry climate, has three seasons. These
areas are just outside the ITCZ, near the Equator. One season is cool and dry when
the warm, moist ITCZ is in the opposite hemisphere. Another season is hot and dry
as the ITCZ approaches. The last season is hot and wet as the ITCZ arrives and the
region experiences months as a tropical wet climate.
Life in these tropical wet and dry regions depends on the wet season’s rains.
During years when rains are light, people and animals suffer. Havana, Cuba;
Kolkata, India; and Africa’s vast Serengeti Plain are in the wet and dry tropics.

15. Good Points:
1. They have heterogeneous plants.
2. Higher rainfall.
3. The have good soil because the died plants quickly
to loosen the soil.
Bad Points:
1. Diseases can develop quickly because tropical
temperature has bigger chance to spread the
bacteria quickly.
2. Hot.

16. IV. Hot and Dry
Regions lying within the dry climate group occur where precipitation is
low, including cool, high latitudes. There are two dry climate types: arid and
semiarid. Most arid climates receive 10 to 30 centimeters (4-12 inches) of
rain each year, and semiarid climates receive enough to support
extensive grasslands. Often, these grasslands are known as savannas
or prairies.
Temperatures in both arid and semiarid climates show large daily and
seasonal variations. The hottest spots in the world are in arid climates. The
temperature in the North African town of El Aziza, Libya, reached 58
degrees Celsius (136 degrees Fahrenheit) on September 13, 1922—the
highest weather temperature ever recorded.

17. Bad Points:
1. Too hot and too dry
2. In general, they only have cactus plants and the
bushes.
Good Points:
1. They have the stronger imune.
2. The have good skin.
3. The people rarely to use glasses.

18. Although rainfall is limited in all dry climates, there are
few parts of the world where it never rains. One of the
driest places on Earth is the Atacama Desert of Chile,
on the west coast of South America. There, the town of
Arica averages less than 0.05 centimeters (0.02
inches) of rain a year.
Semiarid regions, such as the Australian Outback,
usually receive between 25 and 50 centimeters (10-20
inches) of rainfall every year. They are often located
between arid and tropical climate regions.
Arid and semiarid climates can occur when warm,
moist air is blocked by mountains. Denver, Colorado,
next to the Rocky Mountains in the U.S., has this type
of dry climate.

19. The best climate in my perspective is tropical
climate. Because the temperature isn’t too hot and
isn’t too cold. And the second reason is I already live
in indonesia so the climate is almost the same with
the tropical climate and I comfortable with this
situation.

21. Ecuador: The Land of Eternal Spring
Touted as the land of Eternal Spring, Ecuador has a reputation
for perfect weather. Indeed, along the spine of the Andes the weather
tends to stay cool and temperatures change little throughout the year.
In the expat hotspot of Cuenca (pictured), for example, you’ll
find folks enjoying the days that average a high of 70 F and drop to
around 50 F at night. Everyone brings along a light sweater or jacket no
matter the temperature because the weather can change throughout the
day and layering makes it easy to stay comfortable.
But climate can vary in the Andes depending largely on altitude.
If you drop from the 8,400-foot elevation of Cuenca to the 5,000 feet
of Vilcabamba you’ll notice quite a change. The weather is still mild and
comfortable, but warmer with highs running in the upper 70s F and
nightly lows of 60 F.
With four distinct zones (Andes Mountains, Amazon Basin,
Pacific Coast, and the Galapagos Islands) Ecuador has it all. Along the
coast you’ll find warm days with a bit of humidity added in making the
same temperatures feel warmer than they would in the highlands.
The northern coastal town of Canoa sees average highs of close
to 80 F, but with the equatorial sun and humid air, a dip in the ocean
feels perfectly refreshing.

22. Panama: TropicalRetirement Haven
Although Panama is a small country you have a variety of comfortable climates from which to
choose. Some prefer to live in warmer parts of the country, such as Panama City and David. Daytime
temperatures in the low-lying areas throughout the country range from 75 F to 90 F, with a country-wide
average of 84 F. Night-time temperatures range from 65 F to 75 F.
If you’re looking for a cool-weather haven, look no further than the highlands of the
Cordillero Central mountain range. Towns in these highland areas—such as Boquete, Cerro Azul, El
Valle, and Santa Fe (pictured)—feature a noticeably fresher climate due to their elevation. For many
expats and retirees these places have the perfect spring-like climate, with daytime temperatures ranging
from 65 F to 80 F and nights as cool as 55 F at the higher elevations.
The climate year is divided into two distinct seasons. The rainy season—known as
wintertime or el invierno—starts in May and continues through November. The summertime—el
verano—starts in December and ends when the rains return in May. During the wintertime it’s often
cooler due to the rainfall and cloud cover. The mornings are typically sunny and warm, with cool rains in
the afternoon or evening, assuring a comfortable night’s sleep.

23. Mexico: Something for Everyone
Much of northern Mexico—the region directly south of the United
States—has a dry desert climate, with hot summers and chilly winters. But
the northern part of the Baja Peninsula, along the Pacific Coast, enjoys
near-perfect weather, like that of San Diego, California. That great climate is
one of the reasons why Rosarito and Ensenada, on the Pacific Coast an
hour or less from the U.S. border, have been so popular with expats.
Central Mexico enjoys a temperate climate. The mountainous
interior is home to numerous Spanish-colonial cities, most of which sit at
elevations between 3,000 and 7,000 feet. For much of the year,
temperatures here range from the high 60s F to the low- to mid-80s F. Even
in winter, temperatures rarely drop to freezing—and humidity is low. You
usually never need more than a light jacket here.
Along most of Mexico’s coasts, as well as in far-southern Mexico
(the Yucatán Peninsula), the weather is semi-tropical—humid and hot. May
to October is the rainy season in these areas, with hot, sometimes-cloudy
days punctuated by brief but intense rainstorms. (It seldom rains steadily all
day.) Winter is the dry season, with lower humidity, lower temperatures, and
sunny days. Along the central Pacific Coast—in Puerto Vallarta (pictured),
for instance—expect average temperatures from the low 70s F in winter to
the low 80s F in summer. In the Yucatán, average temperatures can run 10
or more degrees hotter.

24. Spain: Cool Mountain Towns and Warm Mediterranean Beaches
On Spain’s long coastline (and as a peninsula, it has plenty of
coast), temperatures tend to be mild, with no temperature extremes.
Weather is generally hotter in the south and cooler in the north…but
nowhere along the coast are the average summer highs and average winter
lows more than about 25 F to 30 F apart. This reliably mild weather is one
reason why Spain’s coasts are so popular with expats.
On the southern coast—the Costa del Sol and the Costa de la Luz,
for instance—average temperatures vary from the 80s F in summer to the
60s F in winter. These coasts are famous for offering more than 300 days of
sunshine a year, with low humidity. This means you can enjoy an outdoor
lifestyle year-round.
If cool, moist weather like that of the U.S.’s Pacific Northwest is
more your style, then head to Spain’s northwest coast, so-called “Green
Spain.” Here lush green hills roll right down to the sea, rain is frequent, and
the weather is cool and mild. Average temperatures range from the high 60s
F and low 70s F in summer to the 40s F and 50s F in winter.
Spain’s vast interior has a harsher, more continental climate,
marked by wide temperature extremes. Winters in northern and central
Spain can drop to freezing, with occasional snow—while summer
temperatures in central and southern Spain can soar to over 100 F at the
hottest part of the day (when shops are usually closed for siesta). Spring
and fall in the interior, however, is glorious, with lush spring vegetation,
vibrant fall colors, and mild weather in both seasons. These are perfect
times to visit the interior’s many historic towns

25. The best place with the best climate in my
perspective is Panama City. Because they have
tropical climate which warmer and make people
comfortable.
