Contential climate

• mild winters and cool summers
• mild temperatures year round
• cold winters and hot summers
• hot humid climate

Deep currents

• are driven by winds
• carry cold water from the poles towards the equator
• are caused by differences in air pressure
• are caused by prevailing winds

• heavy precipitation, thick forests, and tall treel 
• a lot of salt water
• mostly deciduous trees
• cold climates year round

Mammals cannot survive in
