Question

Which two climatic variables are used by Koeppen for classification of the climate?

Answer 1

The two climatic variables used by Köppen for the classification of climate are:

1. Temperature
2. Precipitation

Köppen's climate classification system uses these two variables to categorize the climate into different types. Temperature influences the rate of evaporation, while precipitation determines the amount of moisture available in the atmosphere and ground. The combination of these factors helps define the different climate types such as tropical, temperate, arid, and polar climates.
