Q&A

Could an island on Earth with these climate types exist?

+0
−0

Map

I am creating an RPG and I created a continent in which it is set on. I want to make sure that the climate types in it are realistic as well as the continent.

This island is called Lartess. Lartess measures 150,000 sq km. It is located in the middle of a large ocean like the Pacific or Atlantic. How could Lartess form and how could it have the climate types described below?

  • A: Köppen climate type Cfb (oceanic climate), covered in forests
  • B: Köppen climate type Cwa (tropical monsoon climate), wetlands
  • C: Köppen climate type BSk (cold steppe climate like the central US), cold hills/plateaus
  • D: Mountains similar to the Swiss Alps
    • D1 (mountain peaks): Köppen climate type ET (like Tibet)
    • D2 (other parts of the mountains): Köppen climate type Dfb (like the northern US)
  • Red Star: A freshwater caldera lake (the same size as Crater Lake)
  • Blue Star: A large hill/small mountain (like Mount Olympus in Cyprus)
