Owing to tremendous differences in latitude,longitude,and altitude,the climate of China is extremely diverse. It ranges from tropical in the far south to subarctic in the far north,and alpine in the higher elevations of the Tibetan Plateau. Monsoon winds,caused by differences in the heat-absorbing capacity of the continent and the ocean,dominate the climate. During the summer,the East Asian Monsoon carries warm and moist air from the south and delivers the vast majority of the annual precipitation in much of the country. Conversely,the Siberian anticyclone dominates during winter,bringing cold and comparatively dry conditions. The advance and retreat of the monsoons account in large degree for the timing of the rainy season throughout the country. Although most of the country lies in the temperate belt,its climatic patterns are complex.
