The climate types differ from one place to another on our planet, and in general they are separated in zones in accordance to the latitude at which they are.
The tropical climate is the one that lies on and around the Equator, and it is warm and wet for the whole year. Little north and south of the Equator we encounter the dry climates, where the landscape is occupied by deserts, with extremely high temperatures, and very little precipitation. Further north come the moderate climate types and the continental climate types, they are similar to each other, but the temperatures in the moderate climates have less variation, while in the continental ones it is much bigger, also the moderate ones have more precipitation, and the continental ones have less precipitation. They are both in the mid-latitudes.
