- - - - Climate
        
        High temperatures (over 20 degrees Celsius all year round) and rainfall exceeding 2000mm a year
      - Vegetation
        
        Wide variety of vegetation - trees can grow over 40m in length
    - - Climate
        
        Temperatures stay below 0 degrees Celsius most of the year so the ground remains frozen apart from a few cm of thaw in the summer
        
        The precipitation is gentle, mainly snow
        
        Winds can be very strong
        
        Summers may have hours of continuous sunlight, winters are long and dark periods
      - Vegetation
        
        Known for it's lack of trees, name comes from Finnish word 'tunturia' which means 'treeless plain'
    - - Climate
        
        High day time temperatures (can reach 50 degrees Celsius) all year, very low rainfall - seasonal (less than 100mm)
      - Vegetation
        
        Adapts to very long dry spells by storing water (e.g. cactus)
    - - Climate
        
        High temperatures all year (over 20 degrees Celsius), rainfall is seasonal with wet and dry seasons
      - Vegetation
        
        Grass with scattered (often acacia) trees
    - - Climate
        
        Average temperature reaches 10 degrees Celsius for no more than 4 months of the year, winter temps can fall as low as -50
        
        Rainfall is light, 200-750mm per year, rain becomes snow and fog in winter
      - Vegetation
        
        Composed primarily of cone-bearing needle-leaved evergreen trees
    - - Climate
        
        Seasons - winter through to summer (temperature therefore varies), rainfall - evenly spread throughout the year
      - Vegetation
        
        Mainly deciduous trees
