carnivores, and migratory birds.Warmblooded they adapt better to the
animals. seasonal changes. And

  herbivores because
there are a lot of
green plants.

PLANTLIFE --> Small trees (15m) and there are a lot of bushes. by the abundance
of sunlight.

  MARITIME CLIMATE
Where does it happen? in the coasts that are near to the atlantic ocean
How does it happen?
DESCRIPTION FACTORS

CLIMATE
TEMPERATURE --> Mild, cold winters and hot summers By the solar rays with
(around 18ºC In summer and in winter diagonal incidence .
around -3ºC)
PRECIPITATION --> In winter it rains a lot, but not in summer. By the influence of
above 1000mm (more in autumn and spring)   dynamic low-pressure
zones.
LANDSCAPE
RIVERS --> short rivers because the mountains are , Because in  summer n near to the sea, irregular and with a lot it doesn't rain

LIFEFORMS
ANIMALS --> There are a lot of mammals , and small Warmblooded because
rodents, and migratory birds.Warmblooded they adapt better to the
animals.insects... seasonal changes.And
there are a lot of
  herbivores because

PLANT LIFE --> Small trees (15m) and there are a lot of bushes. by the abundance
deciduous forest. Farns are very common and of sunlight
dense here between the trees.
The treetops have conical shape because
there is snow in winter

CONTINENTAL CLIMATE

Where does it happen? in the center of this country
How does it happen?
  DESCRIPTION      FACTORS

(around 35ºC In summer and in winter part of the continent
around 0ºC or less)
PRECIPITATION --> Scarce rain, but it rains more in summer. By the low pressure
because it's far away
from the sea.
LANDSCAPE
RIVERS --> irregular, and they carry   because it's far away
    a lot of water, the rivers are long from the sea.

LIFEFORMS
ANIMALS --> The animals are in herds   to be more protected
migratory animals.

PLANT LIFE --> There are Taigas,conifer plants…

DESSERT CLIMATE (The most representative in this country)

Where does it happen? in the south of the country.
How does it happen?
  DESCRIPTION      FACTORS

CLIMATE
TEMPERATURE --> very hot during the day vertical incidence
but at night is very cold of solar rays.

PRECIPITATION --> It hardly ever rains. because of high
pressures

LANDSCAPE
RIVERS --> There aren't rivers, but when it rains,   beacuse water evaporates
appear wavis( intermittent river) and as it doesn't rain
frequently they disappear
LIFEFORMS
ANIMALS --> There aren't many animals but   because there isn't many
most of them are reptiles. water. And they have
Coldblooded, they have cold blood to survive to
big ears to resist hot weather high temperatures

PLANT LIFE --> There aren't many plants, --> because it's very hot
most of them are green --> because they have water inside,
they have spikes --> to protect themselves.
