Detailed explanation-1: -Deep in the interior of high latitude continents lies the subarctic climate. Like the humid continental climate, continentality plays a major role in determining the characteristics of the subarctic climate. Bitterly cold winters and mild summers result in the largest annual temperature range of any climate on Earth.

Detailed explanation-2: -Köppen’s type E climates are controlled by the polar and arctic air masses of high latitudes (60° N and S and higher). These climates are characterized by low temperatures and precipitation and by a surprisingly great diversity of subtypes.

Detailed explanation-3: -The horse latitudes are regions located at about 30 degrees north and south of the equator. These latitudes are characterized by calm winds and little precipitation.

Detailed explanation-4: -Low latitudes are those locations found between the Equator (0 degrees N/S) and 30 degrees N/S. The middle latitudes are found between 30 degrees N/S and 60 degrees N/S. And the high latitudes are found between 60 degrees N/S and the poles (90 degrees N/S).
