Climate Types

No matter what the weather’s like today, sunshine or rainy, the climate in your area always stays more or less the same! In this BrainPOP UK movie, Tim and Moby tell you all about the earth’s different climate systems, from the frozen polar regions to the steaming-hot tropics. In this educational, animated movie you’ll find out about the system climatologists use to classify climates and how factors such as air pressure, temperature and precipitation play an important role in this classification. Plus discover how ocean currents like the Gulf Stream and geographical features affect climate and how the climate affects what kinds of plants and animals can live there. There’s information about the hot desert climate of the Sahara, the temperate climates found around the Mediterranean Sea, and the polar climates of Alaska and northern Russia! Whether your area experiences snowstorms, sandstorms, or monsoons, there’s a lot here that you can learn!
