A world map depicts seasonal precipitation from October to March across various regions globally, measured in inches.

Average precipitation between October 1 and March 31

Seasonal Precipitation, October to March

Areas with the least precipitation, ranging from 0 to 5 inches, are marked in lightest blue and include much of northern Canada (Brooks Range, Victoria Island, Baffin Island), Greenland, the Arctic regions, and the western United States (Colorado Plateau, Wyoming, North and South Dakota, Mexico), as well as central Asia (Iran, Pakistan, Part of India, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, China, Mongolia, Saudi Arabia, Yemen), parts of the Middle East, northern Africa (Algeria, Libya, Niger, Chad, Sudan, Mauritania, Mali), and interior regions of Australia (South Australia, Perth).Regions with 5 to 10 inches of precipitation, shown in light blue, cover parts of central Canada (Saskatchewan, Manitoba), parts of the central United States (Montana, Idaho, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico), central Europe (France, Germany, Poland, Belarus), northern Africa (Morocco, Tunisia), central Asia (Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan), southern Africa (Namibia, Botswana), and southern Australia (Victoria, Tasmania).Areas receiving 10 to 20 inches, highlighted in medium blue, include the central United States (Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma), parts of South America (central Brazil, parts of Argentina), northern Europe (United Kingdom, Denmark, southern Sweden), eastern Europe (Ukraine, Romania), the eastern parts of South Africa, western and southern China, northern India, and coastal regions of New Zealand.Regions with 20 to 40 inches, marked in blue, cover the southeastern United States (Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia), the Amazon Basin in South America, parts of central Africa (Congo, Zambia), western Europe (Portugal, Spain, Italy), the Indian subcontinent (southern India, Bangladesh), and eastern Australia (New South Wales, Queensland).Darker blue areas, indicating 40 to 80 inches of precipitation, include the Pacific Northwest of the United States (Washington, Oregon), parts of western South America (Andes regions in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Brazil), Southeast Asia (Vietnam, Sri Lanka), parts of Indonesia (Sumatra, Borneo), Malaysia, and the island of New Guinea.The highest precipitation, over 80 inches, represented in darkest blue, is found in the Pacific Northwest of the United States (northern California, Oregon, Washington), parts of Southeast Asia (Malaysia, western Philippines), and Papua New Guinea.

A map illustrates major soil orders worldwide including ultisols, aridisols, histosols, entisols, rocky land, alfisols, shifting sand, spodosols, gelisols, inceptisols, oxisols, andisols, vertisols, mollisols, and ice/glacier.

Major Soil Orders

Areas shaded in various colors represent major soil orders globally.Ultisols (yellow) are found in the eastern United States, parts of Africa, Southeast Asia, and northern Australia.Aridisols (green) dominate desert regions such as the southwestern United States, northern Africa (Sahara), and parts of Central Asia. Other regions include southern parts of South America and parts of Australia.Histosols (light green) are found in parts of Canada, northern Europe, and Russia.Entisols (light green) are scattered globally in areas like western North America, parts of South America, Africa, and Asia.Rocky Land (very light gray) is found in mountainous regions like the Rockies in North America, the Andes in South America, and part of central Asia.Alfisols (light gray) are found in parts of the United States, Europe, Africa, India, and Australia.Shifting Sand (gray) appears in desert regions such as the Sahara and central Australia. Other regions include parts of Saudi Arabia, China, and Uzbekistan.Spodosols (blue gray) cover most of Canada and parts of Europe such as Sweden.Gelisols (light blue) dominate northern regions of Canada and Russia. Other regions include parts of China.Inceptisols (blue) appear in regions such as Alaska, parts of Canada, Europe, and scattered across Russia, South Africa, and Asia.Oxisols (dark gray) are prevalent in tropical regions like the Amazon Basin in South America and parts of Southeast Asia. Other regions include parts of Africa.Andisols (blue) are found in volcanic regions like parts of the Pacific Northwest in the United States, parts of Mexico and Chile.Vertisols (light green) are found in regions such as India, parts of Africa, and eastern Australia. Other regions include eastern parts of Mexico and parts of Uruguay.Mollisols (maroon) cover the central plains of the United States, parts of South America, and Eastern Europe.Ice slash Glacier (blue) covers Greenland and parts of Arctic.
