Koppen Climate Classification System
Objective:
To investigate and create a concept map of the Koppen Climate Classification system of the world’s climates.
Introduction:
The Koppen classification system divides the globe into climate regions using average monthly temperatures,
average monthly precipitation, and total annual precipitation values. It is based on the concept that native vegetation is the best
expression of climate; thus, climate zone boundaries have been selected with vegetation distribution in mind.
