Book excerpt: Excerpt from Atlas of Climatic Types in the United States, 1900-1939 Drought is a hazard from which few parts Of the United States are entirely free. It is exceptional in the humid East, occurs moderately Often in the subhumid Middle West, strikes with discouraging frequency in the semiarid Great Plains, and is chronic in the arid Southwest. Drought entails little or no agricultural risk in humid or arid climates. In the one, unfavorable years are too few to be taken into account, and in the other, favorable years are so unusual that agriculture is not attempted without irrigation. Drought takes its greatest toll in the transitional subhumid and semiarid regions. In the semiarid region the occasional favorable year encourages farming, but unfavorable years come SO Often that agriculture may be unprofitable or even impossible on a permanent basis. If coming droughts could be anticipated at planting time, much loss could be avoided. As yet, however, dependable seasonal forecasts cannot be made. Although drought years and flood years cannot be predicted, it is possible by using the many records Of the United States Weather Bureau to determine the frequency with which droughts or other climatic events are likely to occur. Such information is of great aid in evaluating the agricultural potentialities Of a region. It is essential to effective land use planning and to intelligent evaluation Of erosion hazard. It can tell for a particular area whether, over a period of years, agricultural successes can be expected sufficiently Often to make continued farming possible. Similar information can be Obtained for the grazing regions. Climatic analysis Of actuarial type Should form the basis for policy and action in regions of high climatic risk, such as the Great Plains. Evaluation Of use capabilities of any area should be based on a climatic index. Edaphic factors at one site may to some extent minimize the climatic hazard; at another, they may actually accentuate it. A detailed soil or land-type survey will determine the edaphic variation of the individual field above or below the use capability imposed on the area by climate. The edaphic effect of different soil types is relatively small as compared with the larger effect of differences of climate over the continent.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Driving through the northeastern part of the United States during the fall is much different than traveling through the Southwest. Vermont will have many trees with their leaves changing color, while a state like Arizona will be dry, hot, and not have much vegetation. These states are in different climate zones! Readers learn the main features of Earth’s climate zones, including the tropical, temperate, polar, Mediterranean, highland, and arid zones. Full-color photographs and maps of these regions aid the main content in supporting both science and geography curricula.
