He type of climate that there is in a certain place is determined by different factors among which are altitude, latitude, orientation of the relief, distance to the sea and marine currents, giving guidelines to the call “weather” which in turn is based on other elements such as temperature, pressure, wind, humidity and precipitation to describe the atmospheric conditions in a territory in a short term.
To catalog the climate, the system developed by Wladimir Köppen is generally used, although there is also the Thornthwaite system, the latter which also takes into account biological diversity and the effects of climate change on it. Others such as Bergeron and Spacial Synoptic focus on the origin of the air masses that define the climate of a region.
Due to climate change, currently the planet is in a process of redistribution in which some modification, however minimal, in the average annual temperature causes changes in the habitats and their conditions.
