5- Temperate Grasslands or Steppe Climate
Because of their location in the land masses distant from the impact of the ocean, they are dry lands. It is typified by little and erratic precipitation. There is a 13°C and 30 cm annual temperature and rainfall range. various regions refer to the sub-regions of this climatic region by various names:
6- The Arctic or Polar or Tundra Climate
