User:Alua Koblan/The main climate zones

The main climate zones-4 air masses correspond to the location of the types. In the equatorial zone is the equatorial climate zone. This belt is dominated all year round by Equatorial air masses, low atmospheric pressure. Since the sun rises above the horizon, the air temperature here is high all year round. Since ascending air flows predominate, as well as as a result of the arrival of moist ocean air masses along with the passes, precipitation falls abundantly in the equatorial belt. Tropical air masses, upper atmospheric pressure , and reduced air movement predominate in tropical zones. In summer, the temperature of the air masses is quite high, and in winter - cooler. Tropical air masses are usually very dry. At an altitude of 10-12 km, when air comes from the equator to the tropics, moisture is significantly reduced. As the air descends, it heats up and becomes drier than ever. Rain is a rare phenomenon not only on land Plains, but even over the ocean. Temperate zones are dominated by temperate cold air masses and westerly winds. It is much cooler here than in the tropics. The seasons are clearly marked. The annual amount of precipitation as a whole is significant, but they are unevenly distributed. The fact that more precipitation falls on the western parts of the continents can be seen from the analysis done on the map .They are brought from the ocean to these places by marine air masses. Due to the fact that the air directed to the East loses moisture, less precipitation falls on the inner parts of the continents. Due to the influence of the oceans, more precipitation falls to the east of the continents.
