Geography:Unit 2 Definitions

Hey, hey! 

this week we are learning a lot of new vocabulary of plants, animals and landforms. Someones can't be explain by sentences so I post pictures.

Climate and biogeography in Europe

• Maritime: Found in the western edge, it has little temperature variation. Has a region of abundant precipitations.
• Mediterranean: This type of climate is found throughout the continent. It has higher temperatures as well as lower more irregular precipitation with very dry summer.
• Continental:Has lower temperatures,huge temperature contrast, largely consisting of snow and with summer rains
• Alpine:The altitude causes a decrease temperatures and increase the precipitations. This type of climate is located in the mountain range.
• Polar: Located beyond the Artic Circle. Little precipitation, very low temperatures , below zero.

Climates and biogeography in Spain.

Spain has an oceanic or Mediterranean climate on the peninsula, an alpine climate in the higher regions, and a subtropical or Canarian climate in the Canary Islands

• The Cantabrian coast and Galicia: Maritime climate (Cold winters and mild summer) With rain throughout the year.
• The Mediterranen coast and southeast Andalucía: This area has coast Mediterranean climate, with is average and extreme temperatures. Precipitation is low and irregular.
• The interior of the peninsula: This area has a Mediterranean climate, it is affected by its continental aspect. It has very hot summer and very cold winters.
• Alpine climate: This has abundant precipitations and low temperatures.
• Canarian or subtropical climate: It near to the Tropic of Cancer and the Sahara affect its climate and variations. It is hot and dry.
