Microthermal climates are limited to the Northern Hemisphere because they are characterized by significant temperature variations between summer and winter, which are more pronounced in areas at higher latitudes. This is due to the tilt of the Earth's axis, which creates more extreme seasonal changes in the Northern Hemisphere compared to the Southern Hemisphere.

Which two climates have least amount of vegetation?

The two climates with the least amount of vegetation are desert climates, which have limited water availability, and tundra climates, which have cold temperatures and permafrost that restrict plant growth.


What is the arid north?

The arid north refers to regions in the northern hemisphere that have low precipitation levels and are characterized by dry conditions. These areas often have desert landscapes with limited vegetation and are prone to droughts.


What are two types of dry climates?

Two types of dry climates are arid climates, characterized by very low precipitation levels, and semi-arid climates, which receive slightly more precipitation than arid climates but still have limited water availability.


Why do tornadoes go counter clockwise?

Fort the most part that is limited to tornadoes in the northern hemisphere. Nearly all southern hemisphere tornadoes rotate clockwise. Tornadoes are formed from thunderstorms called supercells, and get their counterclockwise rotation from the rotation in those storms. The storms get their rotation from wind shear, or differences in wind speed and direction with altitude. In the northern hemisphere the wind shear is usually counterclockwise with increasing altitude. For example the wind at ground level may be out of the west while higher up it is out of the south, so it shifts in a counterclockwise manner. This can impart a counterclockwise spin on the updraft, or rising air current of a thunderstorm.


What is the coldist biome on earth?

The coldest biome on Earth is the tundra, characterized by low temperatures, short growing seasons, and permafrost. This biome is found in regions near the poles, such as the Arctic and Antarctic. The tundra is adapted to extreme cold and limited sunlight.

How is the weather around igloos?

Since most igloos or ice-caves are built in very cold climates, the weather around them is frigid. Some extremely northern climates have limited sun, harsh winds, and below-zero cold temperatures.

What are the poorest countries in the northern hemisphere?

In the Northern Hemisphere? Haiti has got to be #1. Number Two is debatable, but I would offer Guatemala - an almost hopelessly poor country. Actually, most of the world's poorest countries are in Africa, many of which are in the Northern Hemisphere. Haiti is 19th on the list of the 20 poorest, and there are 13 OTHERS that are north of the equator (including two that straddle it).

Why are albatrosses limited to the southern hemisphere?

Albatrosses are _not_ limited to the Southern Hemisphere, but it is an interesting question nonetheless. Maybe it depends on what you mean by "albatross." In the albatross family, there are many species, some of which do live in the northern hemisphere. Three live in the North Pacific, and one lives in the Galapagos Islands which, being right on the equator, are technically partly in the Northern Hemisphere. There are no albatrosses in the North Atlantic. Except for the waved albatross in the Galapagos Islands, albatrosses do not live in the tropics. This is because they need wind in order to fly long distances, and there are often long periods of calm in the tropics. Therefore, those albatrosses that live in the Southern Hemisphere can not cross to the Northern Hemisphere, and vice versa. The waved albatross is able to live in the Galapagos because the local conditions there create enough wind for them. For more details, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albatross.

What are people's views on antarctica today?

Most people who live in the Northern Hemisphere say 'Arctic' when you discuss Antarctica. This shows a limited knowledge of the continent. People who live in the Southern Hemisphere are more knowledgeable about Antarctica, and some people believe it to be a special place.
