World Climates

The world has many different climates, such as: Tropical, Dry, Temperate, Cold and Polar. This summary will talk about the general characteristics of this climates.

The tropical monsoon climate experiences abundant rainfall, but it is concentrated in the high-sun season. As it is located near the equator, the tropical monsoon climate experiences warm temperatures throughout the year.

In the interior of high latitude continents lies the cold climate. Continentality plays a major role in determining the characteristics of the cold climate. Bitterly cold winters and mild summers result in the largest annual temperature range of any climate on Earth.

The equatorial climate is located in Africa, South America, Malaysia, Indonesia and areas in northern Australia. Precipitation is around 200mm pear year. The temperatures at night are of 23º and at day is of 30º.

The hot desert climate is an environment of extremes: it is the driest and hottest place on earth. Precipitation is very low and in some years there is no measurable precipitation falls at all. The terribly dry conditions of the deserts is due to the year-round influence of subtropical high pressure and continentality.  

Polar climates like the tundra are characterized by very cold temperatures and generally dry conditions. Temperatures never rise above 10^o C  during the summer. The tundra located near the Arctic and Antarctic Circle, experiences times when the Sun never rises above the horizon.  
  
The savanna climate has a wet/dry climate. Its Köppen climate group is Aw. The A stands for a tropical climate, and the w for a dry season in the winter. This climate has high temperatures and
the annual precipitation is of 100 to 150 cm.

African Bio-News

For the class of EM, we were asked to make a magazine of agricultura in a continent. We had to add this information:

• Industrial and sustainable farming in the continent given
• The Green Revolution in the continent given
• Use of GM Crops and biotechnology for agricultural purposes in the continent given
• The environmental and human impact of farming in the continent given

We had to do the magazine about Africa and we use a magazine creator called "Madmagz".

 

Argentina

Here is a map in wich I write information about Argentina:

Biomes

In Environmental Management we investigated "Biomes". Then we do a chart in wich we  write the most important biomes. We use the information of Blue Planet Biomes.
