Detailed explanation-1: -In Highland Climate high insolation, low temperature, low air pressure, large diurnal ranges of temperature and relatively large amount of precipitation at higher altitudes are common. This type of climate is found in the Alps, the Himalayas, the Tibetan Plateau, the Rockies and the Andes.
Detailed explanation-2: -An oceanic climate (also known as a marine or maritime climate) is characterized by cool summers and cool winters, with a narrow annual temperature range and few extremes due to maritime influence.
Detailed explanation-3: -Dry-winter continental climates (Dwa and Dwb) exist in high altitude areas near humid subtropical climates (Cwa) or subtropical highland climates (Cwb). Subarctic climates (Dfc, Dwc, Dsc, Dfd, Dwd, and Dsd), with very cold and long winters but with at least one month above 10 °C (50 °F), are also continental climates.
