Answer:
Top to bottom:
- Polar
- Continental
- Arid
- Tropical
- Temperate
Explanation:
The world is very diverse when it comes to climate. This comes from numerous different factors, with one of the most important ones being the angle at which the sunlight falls on the surface. Some parts of the world are hotter, some colder, some milder, and in some parts, there is a lot of precipitation while at some precipitation is something rarely experienced.
At and near the equator, the climate is tropical, having constantly high temperatures, high humidity, and a solid amount of precipitation. Just north and south of the tropical climate we have the arid climate, characterized by very high temperatures, low humidity, and very low precipitation. The temperate climate is found in the mid-latitudes, bordering the tropical and arid climates, having pleasant temperatures for most of the year, and a medium amount of precipitation. The continental climate is found in the mid-latitudes and deeper into the continents, having extremely low temperatures in winter and high in summer, with precipitation being manifested through both rainfall and snowfall. Polar climate is found around the poles, and this climate is the coldest on average, the precipitation is also very low and when there is some it is manifested through snowfall.

The MMS was in part responsible for this event, or at the very least for not handling correctly.
