b. subtropical zone- 23.5°to 35° north and south of the equator
c. mid-latitude zone- 35° and 55° latitude.
d. high latitude zone- above 55° latitude

Factors that Affect the Asian Climate
2. Oceanicity
- The measure of the degree to which the climate of a region is influenced by a maritime airflow from the oceans.
- Remoteness and proximity from any ocean influence climate.
![Page 22: Ls 106 asia](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070605/53f2cc288d7f724c0e8b542d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
3. Monsoon
- Wind system that influences large climatic regions.
- May-Sept. > Southeast Monsoon or wet monsoon > HABAGAT (Philippines)
- Northeast Monsoon or dry monsoon > AMIHAN (Philippines)
4. ElevationThe higher the elevation the colder the
temperature.
