CLIMATES IN THE WORLD (1º ESO)

TEMPERATE CLIMATES (30º - 60º latitude from Equator)

Continental
Climate	Very cold winters (-10º) and hot summers (+20º). There is a big thermal difference between seasons. Brief spring and autumn. Average rainfall (300-1000 mm), especially in summer.
Geography	Far away from the ocean’s influence. Typical in the continents of Asia (Siberia) and  North America (Canada-USA).
Landscape	Coniferous forest (bosques de coníferas) called taiga.

Mediterranean
Climate	Mild winters (+5-10º) and very hot summers (+25º). Irregular rainfall (300-800 mm.) in the autumn and the spring.
Geography	Countries located in the Mediterranean sea (Europe- Middle East – North Africa). California, south of Australia and Southafrica. Most part of Spain.
Landscape	“Chaparral” (bushes and oaks), dehesa (bosque de encinas y alcornoques)

Oceanic
Climate	Mild winters (+5-10º) and mild summers (+15-18º). Abundant rainfall (+1000 mm.) all the year round.
Geography	Regions that are close to the west shore of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans (West Europe, West Canada and USA). New Zealand, Australia...   North of Spain (Galicia, Asturias, Cantabria and País Vasco)
Landscape	Decidious forest (bosque caducifoleo: hayas, robles…)

Steppe climate
Climate	Cold winters (0-5ºC) and very hot summers. Scarce rainfall (300 mm.). High thermal differences between Summer and Winter.
Geography	Countries that are far away from the ocean’s influence, or surrounded by mountains (shadow effect). Especially Asia and North America: South Russia, Mongolia, USA, Middle East...
Landscape	Meadows (praderas) or steppe landscape  (shrubland: bushes adapted to dry climate –arbustos espinosos, plantas xenófilas-).

HOT CLIMATES (between 30º and 0º from Equator)

Desert climate
Climate	Temperate winters (+15º) and very hot summers (+30º). Scarce rainfall (0-300 mm.). Thermal differences between night and day.
Geography	Tropics (Cancer and Capricorn) affected by permanent high pressures (no rain), like Sahara (North Africa). Sometimes they are created by the shadow effect (Asia, North America)
Landscape	Desert. Very scarce vegetation. Xenophile plants (adapted to hot and dry climates, like cactus...)

Tropical climate
Climate	Very hot all the year round (+25º) with no thermal differences. There are only two seasons: the dry season and the wet season (with rain). Depending on the rainfall, it will be dry tropical (-600 mm.) or wet tropical (+600-1500mm, monsoon climate –monzón-).
Geography	Between tropics and Equator. South East Asia, Africa, South America. India (clima de monzón)
Landscape	Savannah (few trees and high grass meadows), jungle. Depending on the rain.

Equatorial climate
Climate	Very hot all the year roun (+25º) with no thermal differences. It rains all the year round (+1500 mm).
Geography	Equator, with permanent low pressures (rain). Brasil, Central Africa, North of Australia and Oceania.
Landscape	Rainforest (selva ecuatorial): Amazonia (Brasil), Central África.

COLD CLIMATES

Polar climate
Climate	Very cold climate all the year round (summers and winters). A bit less cold in the summer season. Scarce precipitations (always as snow). Less than 300 mm because of high pressures.
Geography	The poles. Greenland, north of Siberia and Canada.
Landscape	No vegetation, or tundra: only lichens (líquenes), some grass and very small bushes during the summer season.

Mountain climate
Climate	Cold in all the seasons. Rainfall can be high, most of the times as snow (+1000 mm.) depending on the mountains and their location (foehm effect)
Geography	Different places of the world. Alps (Europe), Andes and Rocky mountains (America) , Hymalayas (Asia)...
Landscape	It will vary depending on the altitude. At the very top of the mountains, only summer meadows or lichens.

OTHER CLIMATES IN SPAIN

Inland Mediterranean (mediterráneo continentalizado)
Climate	Cold in the winter (0-10º), and very hot in the summer (25º). Irregular rain happens between the autumn and the spring, and also in winter (300-800 mm).
Geography	Castilla, Navarra, La Rioja,  Aragon, Madrid, North and East of Extremadura...
Landscape	Meadows, Cereals fields, dehesas, coniferous forest...
Coastal Mediterranean (mediterráneo de costa)
Climate	Mild in the winter (+10º) and hot in the summer (20-25ºC). Irregular rain, especially in the autumn (in some regions, gota fría).
Geography	Cataluña, Valencia, Murcia, Andalucía, South Portugal; most part of Extremadura (Guadiana and Tajo valleys)
Landscape	Dehesas, shrubland and chaparral (bushes), steppe, cultivated fields (olives...)
subtropical climate
Climate	Mild all the year round (18ºC). Rainfall will depend on the islands location and the altitude.
Geography	Canarias islands.
Landscape	Very diverse, but most of the geography, vegetation is scarce. Xenophile plants.
