question: What are subarctic climates and where can you find them? answer: They are climates where summer is cool and short and winter is long and cold. One can find them in Canada and Alaska paragraph: Continental climates are found in inland areas. They are too far from oceans to experience the effects of ocean water. Continental climates are common between 40 and 70 north latitude. There are no continental climates in the Southern Hemisphere. Can you guess why? The southern continents at this latitude are too narrow. All of their inland areas are close enough to a coast to be affected by the ocean! Humid continental climates get plenty of precipitation year round. The northeastern U.S. has this type of climate. Summers are warm to hot, and winters are cold. Deciduous trees grow in this climate. They lose their leaves in the fall and grow new ones in the spring. Subarctic climates have cool and short summers. Winters are long and cold. Much of Canada and Alaska have this type of climate. Little precipitation falls, and most of it falls during the summer. Conifer forests grow in this climate.
