  Polar climate results in treeless tundra, glaciers, or a permanent or semi-permanent layer of ice.

• 
  Слайд 5
  

  Solar radiation has a lower intensity in polar regions because it travels a longer distance through the atmosphere, and is spread across a larger surface area.

  The cool temperate type of climate has rain all year with less extremes of heat or cold.

  Cool temperate climate

  This climate is found in much of northwest Europe, New Zealand and coastal North America.

• 
  Слайд 10
  

  Deciduous trees (which lose their leaves in winter) are found in the warmer areas, and coniferous trees (with needle-type leaves) are found everywhere.

• 
  Слайд 11
  

  Changeable weather is characteristic of these areas and they are strongly influenced by large moving weather systems called depressions or 'lows', and anticyclones or 'highs'.

• 
  Слайд 12
  

  In subtropical climates the winters are relatively warm, but not as hot as the summer season. These climates rarely—if ever—see frost or snow, and you can adore plants such as palm, citrus and many broadleaf evergreens flourish.

  TROPICAL

  A tropical climate is a type of climate typical in the tropics. Climate classification defines it as a non-arid climate in which all twelve months have mean temperatures above 18°C (64.4 °F).

  DESERTS

• 
  Слайд 18
  

  A desert is a landscape or region that receives an extremely low amount of precipitation, less than enough to support growth of most plants. Deserts are defined as areas with an average annual precipitation of less than 250 millimetresper year.

  RAINFORESTS

• 
  Слайд 20
  

  Rainforests are forests characterized by high rainfall. The monsoon trough, alternately known as the intertropical convergence zone, plays a significant role in creating Earth's tropical rain forests.

  MOUNTAINS

  Mountains cover 54% of Asia, 36% of North America, 25% of Europe, 22% of South America, 17% of Australia, and 3% of Africa. As a whole, 24% of the Earth's land mass is mountainous.
