mérséklettart

Mérséklettart is a Hungarian term that translates to "temperate zone" or "moderate climate" in English. It refers to the geographical regions of Earth that lie between the tropics and the polar circles. These areas are characterized by distinct seasons, with variations in temperature and daylight hours throughout the year. Unlike the consistently hot and humid tropics or the extremely cold polar regions, the mérséklettart experiences a balance of warmer summers and cooler winters.

The climate within the mérséklettart is diverse and can be influenced by factors such as proximity to oceans, prevailing winds, and altitude. Broadly, it can be divided into several sub-climates, including temperate oceanic, temperate continental, Mediterranean, and humid subtropical. This variability allows for a wide range of ecosystems and biodiversity. Many of the world's most populated areas and major agricultural regions are situated within the mérséklettart, benefiting from its predictable seasonal patterns which are conducive to farming and human settlement. The concept of mérséklettart highlights the transitional nature of these regions, bridging the extremes of Earth's climate.
