HOT CLIMATES ZONES
-Equatorial climate
We can find this climate near the equator, the sun shines over all the year and the temperature is high through the year( around 25º), the rainfall is heavy and falls uniformly in each month of the year,
the humidity is excessive.
We can find this climate in the areas of central America,The Amazon,the Congo basin,the Gulf of Guinea nad the southerneats of Asia.

-Tropical climate
The rainfalls are heavy in all months. the total rainfall is often more than 250 cm.There are seasonal differencesin monthly rainfall but , the temperatures that are about 27ºC mostly stay the same.
we can find this climates in the areas of Central and South America, Central and Southern Africa,south and southeast Asia and north and east of Australia.
We can find this jungle at Guatemala
-Desert climate
We can find this climate in low-latitud deserts and at southwestern United States and northern Mexico; Argentina;north Africa;south Africa and at the central part of Australia,the temperatures are approximately between 18º to 28º in both hemispheres.Winds are lights wich allows for the evaporation of moisture in the intense heat, they have a very dry heat, the deserts covert the 12% of Earth´s land surfaces.

TEMPERATE CLIMATE ZONE
-Oceanic climate zone
Is typically find along the west coasts at the middle latitud of some of the world´s continent this climate has cool summer and warm winters.It lacks a dry season, as precipitation is more evenly dispersed through the year.We can find it at much parts of Europe,at coastal northwestern North America, at portions of southern South America and southern Africa and at southeast Australia and New Zealand.

-Mediterranean climate
A Mediterranean climate is the
climate typical of most of the lands in the
Mediterranean Basin as part of Subtropical Climate.
We can find it in much of California, in parts of Western and South Australia , in southwestern South Africa, in isolated sections of Central Asia and in parts of central Chile.

-Continental climate
Continental climate is a climate that is characterized by important annual variation in temperature due to the lack of significant bodies of water.Often winter
temperature is cold enough to support a fixed period of snow each year, and relatively moderate precipitation occurring mostly in summer, although there are exceptions like the east coast areas of North America which show an even distribution of precipitation but dry continental climates also exist. Regions having a continental climate exist in portions of the Northern Hemisphere continents and also at higher elevations in other parts of the world.
Only a few areas in Iran, adjacent Turkey,Afghanistan,Pakistan, and Central Asia show a winter maximum in precipitation, and this typically melts in early spring.

COLD CLIMATES
- Polar Climates
Regions with a polar climate are characterized by a lack of warm summers (specifically, no month having an average temperature of 10 °C or higher). Regions with polar climate cover over 20% of the earth. The sun shines 24 hours in the summer, and barely ever shines at all in the winter. Polar climate results in treeless tundra,glaciers, or a permanent or semi-permanent layer of ice.On Earth, the only continent where the extreme polar climate is predominant is Antartica. All but a few isolated coastal areas on the island of Greenland also have the extreme polar climate. Coastal regions of Greenland that do not have permanent ice sheets have "only" the less extreme tundra climates, precipitation is low and usually apear in form of snow.

-High mountain
This areas are above 2.450 meters of high.
Temperatures are very low. Precipitation is heavy.The precipitations are find in form of snow.
