Climate vs. weather
 
Climate classification 2 types
            Empirical is…..
            Genetic is…..
 
Global climate patterns
Climographs – what information is on them
 
General Characteristic and general locations of 
Tropical Rain Forest climate
Tropical monsoon Climate
Tropical Savannah Climate
Humid Sub-tropical Climate
Mediterranean Climate
Humid continental Climate
Sub-Arctic Climates

Steppe Climates
 
Be sure to study these on the maps and understand the genetic reasons behind 
their location.
 
For the maps portion of the test, study the information from the inclass map 
exercise. I may ask you to draw in a river or two as well from the list on the 
map attached to your syllabus.
