Climate
Temperate Climate
Humid subtropical climate is found on the east coast of continents in the Tropics' area. There are two seasons, a hot humid summer and a short mild winter. These areas tend to get hit by violent storm events such as tornadoes and hurricanes. However many plants can be farmed here.
Mediterranean climate is found on the west coast of continents all over the Earth. It has only two seasons with a summer longer than the winter, which has more rainfall. Fruit trees and vines have adapted well to this climate.
Marine west coast climate is found inbetween the Tropics and the Poles. It has only two seasons, summer and winter, though it has a great amount of rainfall.
Tropical Climate
Tropical wet climate is found along the Equator. It has only one warm season with regular rainfall through the year.
Tropical wet and dry climate is found in areas between the Tropics and the Equator. It has a dry season (winter) and a shorter wet season (summer), which can experience monsoon winds and heavy rain.
Dry Climate
Arid climate covers about a third of the Earth's land. It has no regular seasons and plants within this climate must either need very little water or be able to store it.
Semiarid climate areas rest on the sides of arid climate areas, having enough rainfall to support regular farming for a few years. These areas can still experience long droughts which lead to starvation. Most of these areas experience a dry summer and a wet winter.
Continental Climate
-
Subarctic climate is found in large landmasses above the humid continental climate. It has a very long and cold winter and a short, cool summer. Subarctic regions are covered in snow for most of the year.
Polar Climate
Tundra climate is found along the coast of the Arctic Ocean. It has a rough winter and a cold summer.
Ice cap climate is located around the Poles, and it's the most extreme cold climate on Earth.
-
Highland Climate
Highland climate is found in high mountain areas. It has no seasons and its temperatures, amount of precipitation and type of flora present depend on the altitude.
