They occur in North America (in the Pacific Northwest in Alaska, British Columbia, Washington, Oregon and California), in Europe (parts of the British Isles such as the coastal areas of Ireland and Scotland, southern Norway, parts of the western Balkans along the Adriatic coast, as well as in Galicia and coastal areas of the eastern Black Sea, including Georgia and coastal Turkey), in East Asia (in southern China, Highlands of Taiwan, much of Japan and Korea, and on Sakhalin Island and title: Environment of the United States text: of massive conversion and other human activity. Humans have impacted the environment through several ways such as overpopulation, pollution, and deforestation. The U.S. climate is temperate in most areas, tropical in Hawaii and southern Florida, polar in Alaska, semiarid in the Great Plains west of the 100th meridian, Mediterranean in coastal California and arid in the Great Basin. Its comparatively generous climate contributed (in part) to the country's rise as a world power, with infrequent severe drought in the major agricultural regions, a general lack of widespread flooding, and a mainly temperate climate that receives adequate precipitation. Following World War title: Climate of the United States text: continental in northern areas (locations above 40 north latitude), to humid temperate from the lower Midwest eastward to the middle Atlantic coast regions, to humid subtropical in the Gulf and south Atlantic regions. Southern Florida is tropical, as are Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands. Higher-elevation areas of the Rocky Mountains, the Wasatch, Sierra Nevada, and Cascade Range are alpine. Coastal areas of Oregon and Washington have an oceanic climate. The state of Alaska, on the northwestern corner of the North American continent, is largely dominated by a subarctic climate, but with a subpolar oceanic climate in the southeast (Alaska title: Climate of the United States text: Climate of the United States The climate of the United States varies due to differences in latitude, and a range of geographic features, including mountains and deserts. Generally, the climate of the U.S. becomes warmer the further south one travels, and drier the further west, until one reaches the West Coast. West of the 100th meridian, much of the US has a cold semi-arid climate in the interior upper western states to warm to hot desert climates in the far southwestern US, while a Mediterranean climate prevails along the California coast. East of the 100th meridian, the climate is humid title: Climate of the United States text: East Coast (the New York City/coastal Connecticut region southward to Virginia) has a temperate climate, with cool to cold winters and warm to hot, humid summers. Daytime highs range from in summer to in winter. Lows range from the s in summer to in winter.
