Physical Geography College of Alameda CLIMATE REGIONS STUDY GUIDE Assigned reading: Tarbuck Ch. 19 pgs 523-547 Web Learning Module: Climate Regions http://members.aol.com/pakulda/crmod.htm CHIEF IDEAS: Climate may be defined as the average condition of the weather based upon statistics collected over a period of thirty years. Climatology is the study of climate. Climate lies at the heart of physical geography. Climate influences vegetation, soils, landforms, and water resources, and many human activities as well. A climate region is a portion of the earth's surface over which the climate characteristics are similar. Boundaries between climate regions are transition zones rather than sharply defined borders. Climates are duplicated in corresponding locations on each of the continents. It is possible to logically work out a set of climate regions for a hypothetical continent astride the equator. Temperatures vary with latitude and with maritime versus continental locations. Precipitation is controlled by pressure systems, air masses, and winds. The early Greek system of climate classification used latitude to divide the world into frigid, temperate, and torrid zones. The system ignored the influence of land and sea, and the role of precipitation in climate.

Eighth Grade Lesson 2 - Southwest Asia and North Africa - The Region SCoPE Site Lesson Plan Title: Abstract The purpose of this lesson is to identify two characteristics that make Southwest Asia and North Africa a region and where and why people live within the region. The first characteristic is the dry climate across almost all the region. Overall, the region receives sparse precipitation and has high temperatures during much of the year. Mediterranean, steppe, arid, and mountain climatic conditions characterize the region, but aridity is dominant. The second characteristic of the region is the dominant cultural role of Islam as the major religion. The concept of a region based on a single, dominant religion is developed and then studied further in Lesson 3.

Life is tough here with the lack of land for plantation of crops and scarcity of food. Thus due to the above factors and lack of the means of survival the density of population is poor. Mid Hill Region: It is the rich region for green landscapes and for nice fields. It covers 68% of the total land. The major cities like the capital of the country Kathmandu and scenic city Pokhara lie in this region. This is the region with the reflection of Nepal’s reality of being the kingdom in Himalaya along with the Nepalese life. Terai Region : CLIMATE : Nepal has the sub-tropical climate .But the climatic conditions vary considerably form place to place. To be so the country has the varied altitude like from less than 100m.upto more than 8000m.and the slope and the direction of the mountains also affect the climate. North facing mountains are comparatively cooler than south facing mountains. Kathmandu the capital of Nepal has nice climatic condition.

Kenya lies on the equator and is bordered on the north by Sudan, Somalia and Ethopia; Uganda and Lake Victoria lie to the west; Tanzania and Mount Kilimanjaro are to the south while the Indian Ocean lies to the east. Kenya has twenty mountains, six of which rise to over 3,000 meters (9,900 feet). The Tana River, largest in the country, supports river traffic in its lower regions. Most of Kenya's rivers and small lakes dry up during the dry season making perennial water shortages an ongoing problem. Before the formation of the Rift Valley, Kenya's climate and vegetation could best be characterized as tropical. The great geological changes that created the Rift triggered extreme climatic changes as well. After millions of years of evolution, Kenya's climates now range from semi-arid to tropical, temperate to alpine, and also include artic.

Map Geography Location Area ... Land Use Maps Aerial Photos Additional maps on the American University of Beirut Site Geography As in any mountainous region, the physical geography of Lebanon is extremely complex and varied. Landforms, climate, soils, and vegetation undergo some sharp and striking changes within short distances. Four distinct physiographic regions may be distinguished: a narrow coastal plain along the Mediterranean Sea, the Lebanon Mountains (Jabal Lubnan), al-Biqa' (Beqaa) valley, and the Anti-Lebanon and Hermon ranges running parallel to the coastal mountains. The coastal plain is narrow and discontinuous, almost disappearing in places. It is formed of river-deposited alluvium and marine sediments, which alternate suddenly with rocky beaches and sandy bays, and is generally fertile. In the far north it expands to form the 'Akkar Plain. Al-Biqa' valley (Bekaa Valley) lies between the Lebanon Mountains in the west and the Anti-Lebanon Mountains in the east; its fertile soils consist of alluvial deposits from the mountains on either side. The valley, approximately 110 miles (176 Km) long and from six to 16 miles (9 to 25 Km) wide, is part of the great East African Rift System. In the south, al-Biqa' becomes hilly and rugged, blending into the foothills of Mt. Hermon (Jabal ash-Shaykh) to form the upper Jordan Valley. The Anti-Lebanon range (al-Jabal ash-Sharqi) starts with a high peak in the north and slopes southward until it is interrupted by Mt. Hermon (9,232 feet or 2,814 meters).

Geography On this page... General Information Physiographic Regions Deserts of the World Major American Deserts ... Geographical Breakdown General Information Saguaro National Park is located in southern Arizona, near the growing city of Tucson, the state's second largest city. More than 900,000 people live in Tucson's metropolitan area. Saguaro National Park is located in the eastern portion of the Sonoran Desert ( see map ). The Sonoran Desert is found in southern Arizona and northern Mexico, edging into southern California. The adjacent Colorado Desert (named after the river) in southern California, is considered by some experts to be a subdivision of the Sonoran Desert. The Colorado Desert also crosses over into Arizona and extends down into Baja California. The saguaro cacti is probably the most famous plant and symbol of the Sonoran Desert. It cannot be found anywhere else in the world. It occurs throughout much of the Sonoran Desert's range, but does not occur in the Colorado Desert. Saguaro National Park (named after the cactus) contains exceptional stands of saguaro cacti, and their protection is one of the main reasons for establishment of the park. The geography of Saguaro National Park is unique in that the city of Tucson effectively divides the park into two divisions, east and west (

About Ecuador Geography, Climate and History Geography Climate Government ... Coat of Arms Ecuador's Geography Ecuador is a very geographically varied country. It is about the same area of the US state of Nevada, or New Zealand, and a bit larger than the United Kingdom. It straddles the equator (for which it was named) on the West, Pacific Ocean, coast of South America. It borders two countries: Peru to the south and east, and Colombia to the north. There are three geographical regions: the coastal lowlands, mountain highlands and eastern jungle lowlands. The coastal lowlands used to be heavily forested, but much of that is gone now, due to agriculture and shrimp farms. The backbone of Ecuador is the Andean highlands down the center of the country. The highest peak is Chimborazo (6310 metres; 20,700 ft.), but the most famous is the Cotopaxi volcano, just south of Quito. Quito is the world's second highest capital behind La Paz, Bolivia, at an altitude of 2850 metres (9350 ft.). The highlands contain many different towns and markets to visit. The jungle, or Oriente as it is called by Ecuadorians, forms the upper basin of the Amazon jungle. There are many virgin rainforest areas, and the large Amazon River tributary, Rio Napo, cuts through the jungle. Oil exploitation and increased population are threats to this once unsettled area.

Vegetation zones can be roughly classified according to the rainfall zones and are generally; Lake region, Northern Region, and the Highlands of the South-East. These are defined according to the climate of the particular areas. Climate The climate of Uganda cannot be categorised into any single climatic zone, although it has been generally categorised as a 'Modified Tropical' climate. Its central location on the East African Plateau is a major determining factor in the local climate. In reality Uganda has three sub-climatic zones differentiated mainly by altitude and rainfall.
