Continental Zone – Areas that have warm summers, but cold winters. Rainfall does support vegetation, but it is frozen as it snow during winter months.

Comparison Activity: Climate & Population Density To complete this section you will need to closely examine the two maps below (Climate Zones of Earth and Historical Population Density). While studying these maps, consider which climate you think may not attract many people to live and which climates many people would not find attractive for living. Why do you think this is so?
