Unit 16: Humid Mesothermal C Climates
Mediterranean vegetation on Greek island of Crete.
OBJECTIVES• Enhance our understanding of the relatively mild C Climates, which affect the lives of billions of people in these midlatitude zones
• Relate the effects of pressure zones and air masses to the spatial distribution and on-the-ground climographs of the perpetually moist mesothermal climates
• Comprehend the synoptics behind the unique dry-summer climates that have limited spatial extent but whose inhabitants have had a huge impact on world history• Study the unusual dry-winter, “subtropical,” monsoon-like C climates and their surprising climographs
