SSC MTS EXAM

Detailed explanation-1: -Two kinds of climates are considered: continental and oceanic. Examples of typical temperature and precipitation regime and other meteorological elements are presented. In the high latitudes of each hemisphere two climatic belts are distinguished: subarctic (subantarctic) and arctic (antarctic).

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 Arctic is the northernmost region of Earth. Most scientists define the Arctic as the area within the Arctic Circle, a line of latitude about 66.5° north of the Equator.
