About the climate and map data

Climate labels describe the marked reference point using the 1991–2020 Köppen–Geiger classification; climate can vary greatly within the surrounding country or region. Tectonic labels identify regional teaching examples.

Beck et al. climate data (CC BY 4.0) and Bird’s PB2002 plate model provide the scientific context.
