An area's climate is defined as the typical weather patterns over a long period of time, and is influenced by factors like latitude, distance from the sea, and elevation. Climate differs from weather, which describes short term conditions, and takes much longer to change than weather. There are several major climatic regions including tropical, tundra, polar, desert, equatorial, continental, and Mediterranean climates which are characterized by different temperature and precipitation levels.

2. CLIMATE An area´s climate is its typical pattern of weather conditions and temperature over a long period of time. One type of climate may affect a large region, or a small, local area, where it is called a microclimate. Climates depend of latitude, distance from the sea, and height above sea level.

3. climate .Vs. weather Weather is what the forecasters on the TV news predict each day. They tell people about the temperature, cloudiness, humidity, and whether a storm is likely in the next few days. That’s weather! It is the mix of events that happens each day in our atmosphere. Weather is not the same everywhere. It may be hot and sunny in one part of the world, but freezing and snowy in another. Climate is the average weather in a place over many years. While the weather can change in just a few hours, climate takes hundreds, thousands, even millions of years to change.

4. CLIMATIC REGIONS ·Regions have a warm climate all year round. There are two seasons, dry and wet. ·Temperatures tend to between 21ºC and 30ºC. ·Grasslands in tropical regions are mostly made up of scattered trees and tall grasses. ·Regions have harsh wins and low winter temperatures, averaging from -30ºC to -20ºC. · The temperature rises to around 17ºC during the summer. ·Tough, low-growing land plants such as linchers are examples of tundra vegetation. ·Temperature is extremely low and there is a little rain or snowfall. ·Most of the plants can't grow up. ·Many polar animals can life there and keep warm by a thick layer of fur or fat. Tropical Tundra Polar

5. CLIMATE REGIONS ·Climates are very dry, with less than 250mm of rainfall per year. ·Temperatures in the hottest deserts may be over 38ºC.Some become much cooler in winter. ·Some of the mainly plants of the desert are for example; Cacti's. ·Regions have a constantly hot and wet climate. ·The temperature never drops below around 17ºC, creating ideal growing conditions for huge numbers of plants. ·This areas as the central parts of Asia and North America have not summers and cold winter. ·North American prairies have every hot summer. ·Areas are warm and wet in winter, but dry in summer. ·Their climate is influence by currents of air. ·In this climate grow a lot of citrus fruits. And their thick skins prevent them from dying during the summer. Desert Equatorial Continental Mediterranean
