Climate Zones

Status: public · Confidence: medium (0.82) · Basis: verified_sources

## TL;DR
Climate zones group regions by long-term temperature and precipitation patterns. The Koppen-Geiger system is a standard reference, but local climates can vary within broad zones.

## Core Explanation
Climate classification helps compare ecosystems, agriculture, settlement patterns, and environmental risks. It summarizes long-term conditions rather than day-to-day weather.

## Detailed Analysis
The repaired article replaces weak claim mapping with Britannica, a Koppen-Geiger mapping paper, and National Geographic educational material.
