Climate Mosaic
A Climate Mosaic refers to the diverse and intricate pattern of climate conditions across different regions of the Earth. Think of it like a large, detailed patchwork quilt where each piece represents a specific climate zone—ranging from tropical rainforests to arid deserts and temperate forests. This mosaic results from variations in latitude, elevation, proximity to oceans, and other factors, creating a complex global climate system. Understanding this mosaic helps us see how local climates are connected and explains why weather and environmental conditions differ so dramatically from place to place.
