Question

Compare the climate of Libya and Alaska. What is the reason behind such difference?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Within Libya as many as five different climatic zones have been recognized, but the dominant climates are the hot-summer Mediterranean climate and the hot desert climate (Köppen climate classification Csaand BWh). In most of the coastal lowland, the climate is Mediterranean, with hot or very hot summers and extremely mild winters. Rainfall is scant.

The weather is cooler in the highlands, and frosts occur at maximum elevations. In the desert interior, despite the relatively high elevation, the climate has long, extremely hot summers and high diurnal temperature ranges due to the permanence of cloudless skies and excessively dry atmosphere.

The climate of Alaska is determined by average temperatures and precipitation received statewide over many years. The extratropical storm track runs along the Aleutian Island chain, across the Alaska Peninsula, and along the coastal area of the Gulf of Alaska which exposes these parts of the state to a large majority of the storms crossing the North Pacific. The climate in Juneau and the southeast panhandle is a mid-latitude oceanic climate (similar to Scotland, or Haida Gwaii), (Köppen Cfb) in the southern sections and a subarctic oceanic climate (Köppen Cfc) in the northern parts. The climate in Southcentral Alaska is a subarctic climate (Köppen Dfc) due to its short, cool summers. The climate of the interior of Alaska is best described as extreme and is the best example of a true subarctic climate, as the highest and lowest recorded temperatures in Alaska have both occurred in the interior. The climate in the extreme north of Alaska is an Arctic climate (Köppen ET) with long, cold winters, and cool summers where snow is possible year-round.

Answer 2

Climatic difference between the Libya and Alaska

Explanation:

• Libya is the fourth largest country of Africa and is bounded by the Mediterranee, Egypt, and Tunisia. Libya has five different climatic zones as of hot summer, mediterranean climate, and a hot desert climate, and rainfall is scant.

• The interiors are dry and have extremely hot and long summers as its a hot desert climate and have an absence of rivers and streams and most of the lakes have saltwater. The water table in this region is declining at a fast rate.

• The climate of Alaska is the cool oceanic and subarctic type and has long and cold winters and snow year-round.

• Temperature can go up to minus 80 degrees with more than 50 inches of rainfall and the highest rainfall takes place in the months of August. Has frequent snowstorms and temperature extremes.
