Complete revision for Climate and Natural Vegetation IGCSE Geography

foreign welcome back to the last section of the natural environment in team two we have 2.5 climate and vegetation now this section is split up into pretty much three parts I'm gonna go through the first two parrots in this video so it's quite lot actually just make sure again that you're taking break pausing coming back to the information and just making sure you understand before you move on otherwise it could be an overload of information with the timing of vegetation we're going to look in two main climates one is hot arid area like we see here above and the other is tropical rainforest so let's get into it in part one part one we're going to look at location so often you'll get map indicating areas and you can apply some of the information and the logic that we have about this section in that right so here we see couple of major areas where we find Rainforest we have the Congo Rainforest in Africa we've got Madagascar close by decided there we've got the area around Indonesia and Malaysia here where talk about this area little bit later Borneo and we've got Central American ones here and the Amazon basin there very famous one all right so those are major tropical rainforests and there obviously is there like there is some other areas that have them but that would be the most largest type there now if we look at the desert climate we're looking at the desert climate here we've got the Atacama down here matching up some areas of Peru and Bolivia and Chile got the big Sahara Desert which is quite well known biggest in the world Namib and Kalahari Desert down here great Sandy Arabian the Gobi desert up here and Mojave Desert and other ones other minor deserts of that area so we can see similar traits like they're along similar lines of latitude going across the Earth like at the equator we see Tropicals we do see similar characteristics and traits like similar lines of latitude for example we also see yeah in similar areas as well similar distance away from the equator for example are near enough and some of them then are little bit more North some of them then are little bit more south than we would expect perhaps and yeah there's certain reasons for the those differences as well so in in both areas you want to be able to look at climate graph so let's have look here we have very basic climate graph we've got degrees Celsius on the outside and we've got millimeters in the blue on the other side we have red line going through and line graph and then we've also got blue bar chart so you should be able to guess which is which because the top one on the red one is the same degrees Celsius the blue one is saying millimeters so if you haven't come across them before let's have quick look through so temperature is going in in degrees celsius precipitation is represented then as the bar chart we see millimeters as the measurement for precipitation and the temperature then is represented by the line graph months of the year are along the bottom starting from January on the first month to December on the 12th so this is going to be tropical rainforest the characteristics are there to be seen so we have fluctuating but almost always high precipitation now if you don't have anything to compare this to we will in moment to see just how high that is so we can see that the maximum in this region could be up to as much as 218 millimeters per month on average we also see that the temperature stays very consistent between like 20 and 30 degrees hey as always if that was useful like subscribe and I'll be able to post more videos then but also if you want the rest of the content follow the links below and you should find what you're looking for all right good luck guys
