Nature of Crimea

A detailed map of Crimea in Russian allows you to see that according to the type of landscapes, the peninsula is divided into two zones: the first, steppe, occupies two thirds of its territory, and the second, mountain– remaining space.

The steppe extends from the northern outskirts of the peninsula to its central part, smoothly turns into hills, and then is replaced by mountainous terrain. There are areas in the mountains that are not inhabited by humans.

The nature of the vegetation cover directly depends on the features of the relief. So, grass grows in the steppes, but there are no forests. And vice versa: in mountainous areas trees predominate, especially with a developed root system, which are firmly attached to the rocks. Relict vegetation is common on the South Coast.

Climate and weather of Crimea

The peninsula is located in three climatic macroregions; there are also twenty microregions on its territory. Macroregions due to terrain. First macroregionsteppe– located in the northern and eastern parts of the peninsula, secondfoothill and mountain– in the center and closer to the south, and thirdSouth coast– near the very edge of the Black Sea.

“Home” winds near the coast are rare; they blow much more often in the steppe. Throughout the entire peninsula, air flows from the east and northeast predominate, with the only exception being Feodosia, which is open to western winds.

As for precipitation, in the steppe part of the region there is an insufficient level of moisture. The most precipitation on the peninsula falls on the northern spurs of the Crimean Mountains - more than 1000 mm annually.
