    usually grow closer to the poles. The land located in the temperate region of the world, between about 30° and 60° north latitude and 30° and 60° south latitude, is where most of the food in the world is grown. This region includes biomes such as temperate forests and grasslands, which usually have moderate temperatures and fertile soil that is ideal for agriculture.” As the latitude and altitude increase the land became drier and colder , which means that most plants and animals may and may not survive

    Northern middle latitudes. Basically, if the atmospheric pressure is high in Arctic, it tends to be low in the Northern middle latitudes and vice versa. The north atlantic oscillation and arctic oscillation are just a different ways of describing the same phenomenon. 2- Properties/brief differences As I mentioned earlier, those three terms are the same. There are basically two properties of AO : it considers as the largest mode of variability in Northern middle and high latitudes, and it happens

    landing halfway between each pole and forming two hemispheres; the Arctic and Antarctic circles would reside at each of the poles on either side of the axis. Latitudinal tropics, in comparison to Earth, would lie where the northern and southernmost latitudes are able see the sun directly above at noon while in the summer solstice (June Solstice). When Zindau reaches its closest point to the sun (perihelion), or its farthest point (aphelion), temperature fluctuations between hemispheres are strongly influenced

    temperatures which are: 8.6°C, -16°C, 10°C, and -10°C, in Toronto there were 3 days without precipitation but one day had drifting snow, the lack of precipitation is cause by the cold temps and not enough heat for the water cycle, it’s also due to the low latitudes and Lake Ontario keeps a slight amount of heat. Saskatoon was the coldest of the three with temps of: -20.4°C, -18°C, -17°C, and -21°C there were 3 days with no precipitation but a day with drifting snow. Saskatoon experiences lack of heat due to

    Climate and Mixed and Coniferous Forests Climate and latitude play an important part in how vegetation develops in a given area. Plants, especially trees and shrubs which make up the majority of many forests, adapt over time to a given environment and location. In the more southern latitudes you will often find that tropical vegetation such as palm trees and succulent shrubs will dominate the local ecosystem. Within the more northern latitudes, vegetation will often vary between broadleaf or coniferous
