  koppen climate or koppen geiger climate
• koppen classification
• tropical or megathermal has no winter and it has two types: tropical wet and tropical wet and dry
• tropical wet climate is always hot and humid with heavy rainfall all throughout the year
• regions with tropical wet climate are found in philippines, parts of brazil, central and south america
• tropical wet and dry climate always hot, with alternating wet dry seasons
• dry climate: precipitation is deficient. The sub types include arid and semiarid
• arid climate: it is known as the "true desert climate"
• semiarid: recieve higher precipitation
• temperate or mesothermal: the winters are mild, 3 subtypes are marine west coast, mediterranean, and humid subtropical
• marine west coast climate: coolest temperate climate as the ocean bring cool and humid air to the coastal locations.
• mediterranean climate: relatively warmer and drier that marine west coast climate.
• humid subtropical climate: eastern side of continents warmest subtype or temperate climate, characterized by humid summers and cold winters
• continental or microthermal: winters are severe coldest month has an average below -3°c. Two subtypes, humid continental and sub-arctic
• humid continental climate: by humid, mild to warm summers and cool winters.
• subarctic climate: it has short, cool summers with light precipitation and long, cool winters
• polar climate: summerless climate, two subtypes are tundra and ice cap
• tundra climate is always cold with short, cold summers and cold winters.
• ice cap has an average temperature of 0°c or below. Coldest climate on earth. Subtype of climate is the ice sheets of greenlands and antartica
