Virginia has a humid, subtropical climate (a humid continental climate in the mountains) with hot summers and relatively mild winters, though outbreaks of cold and snow/ice do occur. These are less common on the coast, and more common in the mountains and to the north. Thunderstorms are a common occurrence in the spring and summer, though don't turn severe as frequently as they do in the US South and Midwest. The coast is somewhat prone to tropical cyclones, which more frequently bring flooding rains than any storm surge or widespread wind destruction. Snowfall averages only a few inches on the coast, to a few feet or more in the mountains. Average snowfall is about 18 inches around Washington.
Temperature and precipitation are the two main characteristics of a region's climate. Temperature helps determine the overall warmth or coldness of an area, while precipitation refers to the amount of rainfall or snowfall the region receives.
The soil that forms in a hot, wet climate is very different from the soil that develops in a cold, dry climate. Climate influences the characteristics of developing soil because the climate influences the weathering of the rock. The four soil types that develop in different climate regions are: tropical, desert, temperate, and arctic.
Physical characteristics (such as landforms, climate, vegetation) and human characteristics (such as culture, language, religion) are the two main components that make up a region. These factors help define the unique identity and boundaries of a specific area.
Evolutionary history
The characteristics of soil profiles are closely related to the climate and weather conditions of a region. Factors such as temperature, precipitation, organic matter input, and vegetation cover can all impact the formation and composition of soil profiles over time.
