Marine West Coast Climate

The Marine West Coast is usually located along the west coast of mid-latitude continents, or about mid-way of the Tropics and the antarctic/arctic circle. In the Marine west coast some of the landforms, and other plantation includes large mountains, and thick forests.

The Marine West Coast climate region has a vast population of birds. The majority of the climate is covered in small animals, and a variety of species of bears. Some other animals such as foxes, deer, jaguars, squirrels, lynx, and dolphins, also make the Marine West Coast their habitat.

In the Marine West Coast climate, they usually receive a regular amount of rainfall that supports thick forests, and a variety of plant life including

(evergreen trees, (conifers) spruce, redwood, pine.Also many types of ferns and grasses grow in this region. The moderate temperature, and high amounts of precipitation results in the growing of massive and beautiful trees such as the redwood tree.The Redwood tree is the tallest tree in the world!

Location

Precipitation

In this climate type the amount of precipitation differs than other regions. Some parts of this region only get 30 inches of rain, while other parts receive up to 98 inches! In some places it rains 150 out of 365 days per year. Whenever regions receive so much rain (such as North America) we have "Temperate Forests."
