FIGURE 7.14 Climographs for tropical savanna climate stations.
Consider the differences in climate and human use of the environment between Key West and Kano. Why is Key West, Florida, a rather atypical location for a savanna climate?
The reason why Key West, Florida, a rather typical location for a savanna climate than Kano, Nigeria by considering the differences in climate and human use of the environment between the two locations.
The tropical savanna has a geographically transitional nature. As the tropical savanna is located between the humid rainforest climate on one side and the rain-deficient semi-arid steppe climate on the other side, it experiences some of the characters of both.
The high-sun season has rainy weather conditions that resemble that of the rainforest. However, these regions are dry as the adjacent arid regions are in the low-sun season all year long.
The savanna places close to the rainforest regions may receive rain every month and a total annual precipitation of more than180 centimeters (70 in...
