The document describes the Mediterranean climate zone. It is located along western continental coasts between oceanic and desert climates. It is characterized by hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. Precipitation is not usually abundant, falling mainly in winter. Common vegetation includes oak trees, thyme, rosemary, and cork oak. The climate supports a varied fauna including foxes, goats, squirrels, and lynx. The population is traditionally dispersed but is becoming more concentrated in urban areas. Economic activities include rainfed and irrigated agriculture, livestock, industry, and services.

3. 1. CLIMATIC ZONES OF THE EARTH
 Our planet earth has different climatic zones, according to the
geographic position in which a region is located, we know that the
sun warms the surface of the earth with different intensity,
producing important differences in temperature, precipitation and
wind in different areas of the planet, Which we call "climate zones"

4. 1. CLIMATIC ZONES OF THE EARTH
 The three major climatic zones of the Earth are:
Warm or tropical zone
• Between the tropics of cancer
and capricorn.
• Subclimates:Equatorial,
subtropical and desert. Temperate zones
• Between warm and cold
climates.
• Subclimates: oceanic,
Mediterranean and
continental.
Cold or polar areas
• In polar and mountainous
areas.
• Subclimates: equatorial,
subtropical and desert.

5. 2. LOCATION MEDITERRANEAN CLIMATE
 The Mediterranean climate is located geographically
on the western coasts of the continental masses,
between oceanic climates, towards the poles, and
desert, to the Equator.
(Location of the different types of Mediterranean climate)

6. 3. MEDITERRANEAN CLIMATE TEMPERATURES
 The Mediterranean climate is characterized by dry and hot
summers with average temperatures above 22 ° C and wet
and rainy winters, with mild temperatures.
 Maximum temperature: 21.9º
 Minimum temperature: 14.6º

7. 4. PRECIPITATIONS OF THE MEDITERRANEAN
CLIMATE
 The rains are not usually very abundant, although there
are areas where they exceed 1000 mm.
 Main feature: the rains do not occur in summer.

8. 5. VEGETATION OF THE MEDITERRANEAN
CLIMATE
The dominant species is the oak.
The forest is woody, thorny and
aromatic Species such
as thyme,
rosemary and
sarsaparilla
(Rosemary)
(Sarsaparilla)
The cork oak
appears in the
wetter areas

9. 6.FAUNA OF THE MEDITERRANEAN CLIMATE
 The fauna is rich and varied and includes all kinds of
animals.
(Fox)
(Goat)
(Squirrel) (Lynx)

10. 7. INHABITANTS OF THE MEDITERRANEAN
CLIMATE
 The population is numerous, and traditionally dispersed,
although due to the high occupation of the Mediterranean,
the rural population has been reducing and concentrating in
nuclei of population.
In areas where water
is available are
irrigated areas. It is an
intensive agriculture
that harvests several
crops a year. The most
abundant irrigation
crops are rice, fruit
trees, vegetables and
flowers.
