GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -The three polar climates are found in the high latitudes near the poles. The varied highland climate is found on mountains. and the tundra climate described below occur mainly in the Northern Hemisphere south of the Arctic Ocean. In the subarctic climate, winters are long and bitterly cold.

Detailed explanation-2: -Subarctic climate is only found in high latitude, inland areas in the Northern Hemisphere. Extreme winters and short, somewhat warm summer create the largest temperature range of any climate. Cold temperatures mean little precipitation here, but enough falls to cover most of the land in snow for much of the year.

Detailed explanation-3: -The area between the Arctic Circle, which is at 66 degrees 33 minutes north latitude, and the North Pole, sitting at 90 degrees north, is the high latitude of the Northern Hemisphere. Parts of Alaska, Canada, Europe, Russia and Asia are within the Arctic Circle.

Detailed explanation-4: -In general, the farther from the equator an area is, the colder and snowier it will be. This is because higher-latitude regions receive less light and energy from the Sun than low-latitude, tropical areas.
