How do you identify climate regions?
Geographers recognize a number of factors that affect a region’s climate:
- latitude.
- elevation.
- proximity to large water bodies, mountains, or other surface features.
- ocean circulation patterns.
- long-term atmospheric circulation.
What is a climate region in geography?
A climate zone results from the climate conditions of an area: its temperature, humidity, amount and type of precipitation, and the season. A climate zone is reflected in a region’s natural vegetation. This is because the Southern Hemisphere land masses are not wide enough to produce a continental climate.
What is an example of a climate region?
The six major climate regions are polar, temperate, arid, tropical, Mediterranean and tundra.
Which of the following is the best description of a regions climate?

What are the climate zones of the United States?
The climatic zones in the U.S. are labeled as Cool/Humid, Warm/Humid, Cool/Arid, Warm/Arid. The transition zone was added because of overlapping temperature and humidity conditions in the central U.S. It stretches from the extreme eastern edge of New Mexico to the central East Coast.
