China's latitude max is an estimate of 53.45 N and a min of 18.33 N. China's longitude max is about 122.6 E and min of 73.99 E (
Google Maps). China is located in the Eastern and Northern Hemisphere of planet Earth (
World Atlas). The country of China resides in the Ferrell Cell from the "atmospheric cell". China resides in the Westerlies wind belt. The net surface flow is toward the poles and Coriolis bends them to the west. The Westerlies blow from West to East. China is located in a High pressure belt. China is not located in the horse latitude because the horse latitude is in the 25-30 N (S) and China is located in the 30-60 N (S). China is also not located in the Polar front because China is not way up north in the 60-90 N (S) region. China is also not in the Doldrum front because China is not close to the equator.
China's climate is sporadic. Since China has a vast mountain region along with plains, valleys, desert, and coastal areas, the weather tends to be different in the same instant. One area can be rainy while another area is dry and sunny. The high mountain regions tend to be really cold at times because of the winds that pass through. Since China's latitude begins at the border of 30 N, it contains the region of a desert due to the subsidizing air associated with the Hadley Cell. The wind in this region is moving from West to East along with some trade winds in the South of China that are going East to West.
China has big mountain ranges that occupy two-thirds of the country. There are about 26 mountains in Tibet, China. Mount. Everest, Mount. Cho Oyu, Mount Shisha Pangma are 3 of the tallest mountains in the region (
Summit Post). Mountain breezes, valley breezes, Chinooks, Katabatic winds, and Monsoons are all types of breezes or winds that are associated with mountains.
China has the possibility of experiencing each and every wind listed above because of the vast majority of mountain ranges making up most of the country. China has the famous Jiuzahaigou Valley which covers 230 square miles (
Travel China Guide). China has a variety of land regions which allows breezes and wind systems like monsoons possible. Monsoons are actually significant in the fertilization of the soil because it has been able to produce a lot of food for the people (
Owl and Mouse). China has a coastline of 14,500 km in length (
World by Map). Sea breezes and monsoons are two breezes associated with coastlines. China has the possibility of experiencing these breezes because it has a big coastline in which the breezes can move in through and even though some of the monsoons pass through the Indian ocean and then through the Himalayan mountains, it still reaches China.
