The document describes several different climates around the world. It discusses tropical rainforest climates, which are characterized by dense plant growth and heavy rainfall. Savanna climates have a wet and dry season, with warm temperatures and almost no rainfall during the dry season. Tropical deserts have extreme lack of moisture due to trade winds being unable to bring in moisture from the sea. Steppe climates have slightly more moisture than deserts and support low grasses and shrubs. Polar climates have little precipitation and slanting sunlight that provides little heat. Tundra climates consist of mosses and small shrubs, with precipitation occurring mostly during short summers. Icecap climates are found near the poles

- 3. It might be the best be described as a composite of weather. Although weather and climate are not identical, the nature of both is influenced by the same elements of weather.
- 5. * Characterized by dense growth of plants. These include tall trees that form a dense shade umbrella beneath, where heavy carpet of vines and smaller plants form the jungle. The rainfall is extremely heavy.
- 7. * Characterized by tropical dry climate. The year is made up of a wet and a dry season. The temperature is warm day and night. The dry season brings months of almost no rainfall, with very hot days and cool nights. The Savanna climate takes its name from the covering of coarse grass with scattered trees or shrubs.
- 9. * The world’s driest lands. The deserts lie in the vicinity of 20 to 25 degrees latitude, within the belt of the trade winds. There is an extreme lack of moisture, because the easterly trade winds are unable to bring in moisture from the sea. Hence, the difference between day and night temperature is very great. The chief tropical deserts of the world are the Sahara of Northern Africa and the Kalahari of South Africa.
- 10. *STEPPE CLIMATE
- 11. * Forms a belt around the desert areas of tropical zone, except on the drier western sides. Steppes have slightly greater amount of moisture than the desert, thus, steppes support more plant life than deserts. The plants are in the form of low grasses and scattered shrubs.
- 12. *POLAR CLIMATE
- 13. * During the summer in Tundra region, the sun does come into view. However, it’s rays are so slanting that they give little heat. The polar region has little precipitation, because the air is too cold to hold much moisture.
- 14. *TUNDAR CLIMATE
- 15. * is a cold climate, because it is the zone of gradual change between the sub-arctic climate of the middle latitudes and the perpetual snows of the icecaps. Annual precipitation occurs mostly during the short summers in the form of rain. Plant life is consists of a carpet of mosses and scattered small shrubs. The tundra climate is confined to the northern hemisphere.
- 16. *ICECAP CLIMATE
- 17. * Is found in the immediate neighborhood of the poles where the temperature never rises above freezing. Precipitation remains on the surface as snow and ice. The continental glacier, which nearly covers Greenland, gives this region an icecap climate. The lowest temperature ever recorded on Earth, -125 degrees F or -87.22 degree C, was measured on the Antarctic icecap.
