Introduction: Climates Zones COLD ZONE: The cold climate is at the poles and high mountains. In high mountain areas it is usually very cold and in the summer it usually goes up a little more WARM ZONE: The warm climate Are located in the equatorial, tropical and subtropical bands of the planet.High annual temperatures, without large seasonal variations.
TEMPERATE ZONE: Is a type of climate characterized by annual average temperatures of around 15 ° C and average rainfall between 1000 mm and 2000 mm annually.
2. TROPICAL CLIMATE (savanna)
-Temperatures and precipitations Temperatures: T rop ical climates besides having an average temperature of 18 ° C are characterized by not suffering frost.Therefore, the terms summer or winter have no meaning in these areas, so it is often said that they have no winter Precipitations: In the tropical zone it is not very frequent that it rains, and if it rains It is in small quantities.
-Vegetation The dry season is very prolonged appears the steppe, with lower, spiny vegetation that hardens and reduces the size of its leaves to adapt to the drought.
-Fauna In it we find from insects and rodents to herbivores of the size of the giraffe or elephant, carnivores, like the lion, and scavengers, like the hyena and the vulture.
-Population People living in the savannahs are characterized by living in tribes
-Economic Activities FARMING: Subsistence agriculture is a mode of agriculture in which part of the land produces only once a year enough to store food for the family that works in it. Depending on the climate, soil complications, manual practices, cultivars, crop growth, land tenure status and marketing facilities, generally between 1,000 and 40,000 m2 (0.1 to 4 ha) per person is required.In some areas of the humid tropics in South America, intensive and massive subsistence farming may require between 15 and 20 ha / capita or more.
WON: In the savannahs of the North and South, where the rainy months are less than five, and in the eastern highlands, agriculture has little development, so there is a greater dedication to livestock. The animals are zebu and other bovids that are best adapted to these climates. European animals are decimated by the tsetse fly. This cattle ranch has few yields, and there is neither housing nor compound feed nor breed selection. Only in South Africa, notably in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Madagascar, is a well-performing cattle ranch, also due to Europeans. These are bovids and rams that provide meat, skin and wool in abundance. That is why South Africa is one of the first producers of quality wool.
