'Klimazone' (climate zone) is made up of 'Klima' (climate) and 'Zone' (zone). The head noun 'Zone' refers to a defined area, which is specified more precisely by its climate.
Die Klimazone im Norden Europas ist durch lange, kalte Winter geprägt.
The climate zone in northern Europe is characterized by long, cold winters.
'Klimazone' (climate zone) is often used with geographical terms such as 'tropisch' (tropical), 'subtropisch' (subtropical), 'gemäßigt' (temperate), or 'polar' (polar). The phrase 'die Klimazonen der Erde' (the Earth's climate zones) also appears frequently in geographical texts.
In der gemäßigten Klimazone gibt es meist deutliche Unterschiede zwischen den Jahreszeiten.
In the temperate climate zone, there are usually clear differences between the seasons.
To express geographical location, the phrases 'in einer Klimazone liegen' (to lie in a climate zone) and 'zu einer Klimazone gehören' (to belong to a climate zone) are often used. Here, 'in' takes the dative when referring to a fixed location.
Viele Mittelmeerländer liegen in der subtropischen Klimazone.
