Africa

Climate: In Africa there are seven different types of climates, as you can see, to the north and south of the continent
there are temperate climate zones, with the rainy season in winter and summer, also, we have the dry steppe and
dry desert climate, located in the latitudes corresponding to the Tropic of Cancer, in the northern hemisphere, and
the Tropic of Capricorn in the southern hemisphere, in both hemispheres form a strip between the tropics and 30°
north and south latitude, where two large deserts extend, the Sahara to the north and the Kalahari to the south of
Africa, this is due to dry winds, as you will remember the wind is a factor that influences the climate, thanks to the
1 general circulation of the atmosphere.

America
Climate: Warm climates extend throughout Central America, and a small part of northern South America. Its main
characteristics are: low thermal amplitude, and high annual average temperatures and rainfall are abundant all
year round. According to the variations of their general conditions are classified into: Temperate climates develop
in the intermediate latitudes, and their characteristics are the lowest average temperatures and the higher thermal
amplitudes than in the warm climates, especially in the areas far from the coasts. Because of that difference, they
are classified into oceanic and continental temperate. Cold climates are located at the highest latitudes and
predominate in much of North America and in the extreme south of South America. Summers are very short and
winters very rigorous, with great thermal amplitudes, with the exception of areas that are influenced by warm
