Continental climate has a large contrast between seasons, winter being very cold while summer being very hot. This climate is found in Eastern Europe and basically all of European Russia minus the Arctic Coast.

Subarctic climate is one of the coldest climates in the world. Winters are very cold and long while summers are short and either cool or mild. This climate is found in Northern Europe and all of Northern Russia.

Tundra climate is the coldest climate in the world. Winter is basically all year long, as typically only one month has temperatures warm enough to melt snow. Tundra is also occupied with permafrost, which is basically a layer of thick ice growing beneath the ground, making it impossible for most plants to grow. Tundra is found along the Arctic Coast in Europe and Russia.

Oceanic climate is a mild climate. Winter is cold to mild while summers are mild to warm. There is also an absence of a dry season. This climate is found in Western Europe.

Mediterranean climate is a mild to warm climate. Winters are mild while summers are warm to hot. This climate is found along the Mediterranean Coast.

Is Albania the poorest country in Europe?

Albania is poor because of the "3rd world hole". Basically, once a country is a third world country, accessing resources to improve suburban areas to more urban is very difficult without the help from another country, or be like any other country in the world and do it yourself. In addition, the government is terrible. Communism was an issue a while ago, and little to nothing has improved. However, they do have very beautiful beaches in the south. I wouldn't go there myself, too many drugs and violence. (The beaches do not even have trained life guards, so good luck). Overall, it is a pretty poor country and little tourism.

Also, Albanians out there who feel offended, that gives you as a human being no right to delete this answer because it is true. If you feel as though this answer wasn't well written, make a video about it and stick it down your throat. And this wasn't written by a Greek or any other ethnicity you are not fond of, so calm down. (It was written by an Albanian itself).

Hopefully, I answered your question.
