Summers are not and dry, due to the domination of the subtropical high pressure systems, except in the immediate coastal areas, where summers are milder due to the nearby presence of cold ocean currents that may bring fog but prevent rain.<br />In the north, around Cuzco, because of the high altitude and “b” and “c” conditions, you have a unique Mediterranean Climate amongst the high Andes, not unlike that found in San Francisco, California and Seattle, Washington (b) or Cochamarca, Peru (c) or Balmaceda, Chile (c).<br /><br />DeVon. Again, the upcoming article about seeds will cover your question, as well. However, I must apologize. The map of South America showing Climate was not the Climate map, but a precipitation map—sorry, we have numerous maps like this and I simply made a mistake putting up the wrong map. There are no Mediterranean climates of any type on the east coast of South America (or anywhere else). Since I cannot post la map on this comment second, see an article following the Part 5 mentioned above and I’ll include it a long with an answer to your Florida question.<br />Delhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08982095508142923740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948352943362975805.post-88739217078894663832016-11-06T10:43:08.692-08:002016-11-06T10:43:08.692-08:00Questioniterry: In an upcoming article "Growi...Questioniterry: In an upcoming article "Growing Seeds in the Land of Promise Part V,” we will be discussing this very question. For now, there are two types of Mediterranean Climates listed on the Köppen Climate Classification system: 1) Csa, which is the climate we talk about 99% of the time and the one that matches the Mediterranean Sea, including Jerusalem, and 2) Csb climate, which is also Mediterranean Climate. In both cases, the “C” stands for “temperate” climate, the “s” stands for “dry summer” and the “a” stands for “hot summer.” The “b” instead of the “a” stands for “Warm Summer” and a Csc classification would be the second “c” a cold summer (exist in high0-elevation areas adjacent to coastal Csb climate areas, where the strong maritime influence prevents the average winter monthy temperature from dropping below 0 C. This climate is rare and predominantly found in climate fringes and isolated areas of the Cascades and Andes Mountains, as the dry-summer climate extends further poleward in the American than elsewhere. <br />For additional information, the Köppen climate classification was developed based on the empirical relationship between climate and vegetation. This type of climate classification scheme provides an efficient way to describe climatic conditions defined by multiple variables and their seasonalities with a single metric. Compared with a single variable approach, the Köppen classification can add a new dimension to the description of climate variation. Further, it is generally accepted that the climatic combinations identified with the Köppen classification are ecologically relevant. The classification has therefore been widely used to map geographic distribution of long term mean climate and associated ecosystem conditions. Over the recent years, there has also been an increasing interest in using the classification to identify changes in climate and potential changes in vegetation over time. <br />(cont)Delhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08982095508142923740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948352943362975805.post-41005163556969851582016-11-05T21:12:17.537-07:002016-11-05T21:12:17.537-07:00After all the information that has been published ...After all the information that has been published on this site I don't see how any thinking person could even consider the North American model. <br />iterryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14836783863542965577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948352943362975805.post-5206837129974798492016-11-05T18:00:31.465-07:002016-11-05T18:00:31.465-07:00I don't know much about Climates but the world...I don't know much about Climates but the world map above which you have used before suggests that latitude is a key issue. Missing from the world map is possible Mediterranean climates on the East Coast of the Americas. Your new South American map here shows abundant Mediterranean climate sites on the East Coast. However I am unaware of any Book of Mormon geographies claiming an East Coast South America landing. It would be nice to see a similar map for North America since the Heartland advocates claim a Florida landing with latitude similar to Jerusalem. They further claim the possibility of an Atlantic crossing using the 2010 Phoenicia Expedition recreation of a 600 BC ship incapable of tacking making such an Atlanic crossing as supporting evidence. That would satisfy your requirement of “driven forth before the wind” and like Nephi all the crew could do is stear with a rudder. I have applied the "high tech" method of laying string on a world globe and found the distance Nephi would have to sail to Florida around Africa and across the Atlantic is about the same distance as your Pacific crossing. So my question is could Florida fit the Climate and possible landing site requirements?

That climate would not have been like the place where he landed. So would the seeds therefore have taken some time to get going at the new location? As this article points out I think that would be the case. What do you think? <br />iterryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14836783863542965577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948352943362975805.post-85980431321247348642016-11-05T10:09:34.640-07:002016-11-05T10:09:34.640-07:00I wonder how the proponents of other models respon...I wonder how the proponents of other models respond to this point: that seeds from Jerusalem in the Mediterranean climate zone would not grow well or at all in the climate zone of their models?erichardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12279217537472159142noreply@blogger.com
