Project on Climatic Regions
Climatic regions refer to geographical areas characterized
by similar atmospheric conditions, including temperature, precipitation,
humidity, and wind patterns. These regions are identified based on long-term
weather patterns and climatic averages. Factors such as latitude, altitude,
proximity to oceans or other large bodies of water, and geographic features
like mountains all influence the climate of a particular region.
Common climatic regions include tropical, subtropical, temperate, and polar zones, each with distinct climatic characteristics. Within these broad categories, there can be further subdivisions based on more specific features such as rainfall patterns, temperature ranges, and seasonal variations. Understanding climatic regions is crucial for various purposes, including agriculture, urban planning, and environmental management.
