All three areas have the maximum temperature in July; England’s maximum temperature is 20 degrees. Norway’s is 16 degrees and Siberia is 24 degrees. The difference between highest and lowest is only 8 degrees. All three areas also have the minimum temperature in January. England’s is 0 degrees, Norway’s is -6 and Siberia’s is -51. The difference from highest to lowest for minimum temperature is 51 degrees. Both England and Norway have a difference of 20 degrees between their maximum and minimum temperature. However in Serbia it has a difference of 75 degrees meaning it has almost a four times bigger change in temperature. On the graph the temperature for Ambleside looks pretty straight with a small incline in the middle. Tromso has a much larger incline but it to is pretty similar all year round. The biggest is Siberia is has a huge incline which shows the huge difference in temperatures year round. The 3 different areas are completely different. For one the rain levels in Ambleside, England are extremely high all year round but in the periglacial area of Verkoyansk, Siberia has a very low proportion of rain and its majority falls in June, July and August. The mountain has by far the most rain fall in the year with 1851 mm where the glacial of Tromso, Norway has 994 mm of rain annually but the lowest by far is the periglacial of Siberia with only 156 mm. England’s most rainfall is over the winter months reaching 214 mm in January but it stays about the same all year round it just peaks in winter. Norway’s highest rainfall comes in autumn with a maximum of 115 mm in October but it too has roughly the same amount of rainfall all year. But in Siberia the highest rainfall is in summer with a maximum of 33 mm in July. The minimum amount of rainfall in Ambleside is 90 mm in May. In Norway the minimum is 56mm in July and in Siberia it has a low of 4 mm in

    Siberia occupies about 5.2 million square miles, which roughly corresponds to about 9 percent of Earth's dry land mass. It is bounded by the Ural Mountains in the west and by the Pacific Ocean in the east. To the south lies central Asia, Mongolia, and China, and to the north the Arctic Ocean. For many people Siberia is synonymous with an intensely cold climate, but this image is only partially correct. The climate of most of Siberia is continental, which means there are large temperature differences between summer and winter. The Siberian winter is indeed long and cold, yet summers are fairly warm—warm enough to allow for the cultivation of watermelons in western and southern Siberia. Although there is relatively little precipitation in eastern Siberia, and the winter frost penetrates quite deep, the climate becomes milder and warmer towards the west and south. Due to heavy rainfall, the region is drained by numerous rivers and dotted with lakes filled with a variety of fish.…

    Temperatures in the Taiga have a huge variation between winter and summer and may vary from −54 °C to 30 °C throughout the whole year. The summers are generally short but are humid, warm and never last more than four months. In much of the taiga, -20 °C would be an average winter day temperature and 18 °C an average summer day temperature with average annual temperatures at 3°C. In some parts of the Taiga such as the Alaska-Yukon area the annual temperatures could be as low as -10°C due to the extended winters. Precipitation is generally low in the Taiga and the majority is summer rain, in all: there is 400mm to 600mm of precipitation per year to the west and eastward it gradually falls to 200mm a year.…

    8. The three abiotic spheres are the Atmosphere, Hydrosphere and the Lithosphere. Each one of these spheres interacts with each other and the biosphere in unique and different ways. The atmosphere works with the biosphere in that it uses the gases released from living things to form itself. It also receives gases from the Lithosphere, or the earths crust to help form itself. The atmosphere helps all living things survive by keeping an oxygen rich environment and keeping out harmful rays from the sun. The lithosphere helps control the movement of heat from within the earths crust to help make it possible for life to survive. It also is part of the soil layer which is essential to plant life. The Hydrosphere is very important because it has all the water on earth. This is in the form of ice sheets, liquid or vapor, and they are all essential to the survival of living things.…

    Arctic tundra is a biome characterized by cold weather and low growing plants and shrubs and virtually no trees. They are found mainly in regions just below the Arctic ice caps, located at latitudes 55o to 70o North, across North America, Europe, Alaska, Canada and Siberia. They cover 20% of the earth’s surface. The summer season is short, where there are brief periods when the sun shines for almost 24 hours a day and temperatures never go above 45o or 50o F. In winter, temperatures don’t reach above 20o F and average between -20o to -30o F. Tundra biomes receive low levels of precipitation, around 150 to 250 mm of rain per year. Due to the harsh climate, vegetation such as low shrubs, sedges and reindeer mosses have adapted by growing close to the ground and close together, as this helps plants to resist the effects of cold weather and reduce damage caused by snow and ice. Plants are also small and roots are shallow to skim the thin unfrozen layer on top of the permafrost (a thick layer of soil that remains frozen throughout the year. Permafrost is also the reason why there are virtually no trees in tundra biomes, as not enough moisture can percolate the soil). However, in the summer months the top part of the soil partially thaws, forming bogs and ponds, allowing some vegetation to grow.…

    Microclimate is the climate of a small area within a larger area, my garden. I was given the task of investigating the microclimate of my garden and recording what I found. The warmest place was site 3 with a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius In site 3 there is a low albedo so heat is absorbed therefore the temperature is higher here on a warm day the aspect of this site is south west so this results in this part of the garden being warmer, because places facing the sun are warmer than those in the shadows, in Britain the sun rises in the east and moves through the south, so at midday the sun would be directly facing south making my garden hotter. We use this to an advantage by setting seats up in the garden so they are in the sun to get as much heat as possible. The sheds create a bit of a shadow however that doesn’t cover site 3; the sheds also collect the heat through the day by giving heat off from the sun making this site warmer. This can be shown from the microclimate investigation because I found that this was the hottest place and the temperature here was warmer than other sites in my garden we consequently eat our lunch in the sun using the microclimate of my garden to our advantage.…

    There is no summer since the temperatures never go above freezing, but there are 2 seasons summer and winter. These seasons are determined by the amount of sunlight. During the summer, there is about 24 hours of light, since the poles are pointed toward the sun. During the winter the pole is facing away from the sun, which makes there 24 hours of darkness. The Ice Cap climate is the coldest climate on Earth. The warmest month is about -16 degrees fahrenheit. The coldest month is about -70 degrees fahrenheit. During the winter, temperatures can reach -90 degrees fahrenheit. The coldest temperature ever recorded was -128.6 degrees fahrenheit. Ice Cap climate temperatures are so low because of its high latitude near the poles. These areas receive only indirect sunlight.…

    Precipitation totals 6-10 inches of rain a year, which includes melted snow. This is almost as little as the world's driest deserts. Coupled with strong and drying winds, the tundra is an extreme weather biome. The tundra seems like a wet and soggy place because the precipitation that falls evaporates slowly, and because of the poor drainage caused by the permafrost. You can find the tundra climate in Köppen's E climate category.…
