Climate Zones
Europe has a variation of climate zones such as:
- Warm Temperate, Fully Humid, Warm Summers: It is warm temperature because it is near the equator causing a warmer climate. Its spot on the ocean and warm temperate climate causes it to also be very humid. E.G.
1. Spain
2. Portugal
3. Italy
- Warm Temperate, Dry Summers, Hot summers: It's
1. Spain
- Snow, Fully Humid, Polar Frost
- Polar Tundra is in Europe because it is very far North and it is in a high pressure, therefore making it a dry, cold land. E.G.
1. Iceland
2. Denmark
