CLIMATE
As a result of Armenia's position in the profound inside of the northern piece of the subtropical zone, encased by elevated ranges, its atmosphere is dry and mainland. Territorial climatic variety is all things considered impressive. Serious sunshine happens on many days of the year. Summer, aside from in high-height territories, is long and sweltering, the normal June and August temperature in the plain being 77° F (25° C); sometimes it rises to uncomfortable levels. Winter is generally not cool; the normal January temperature in the plain and foothills is around 23° F (−5° C), while in the mountains it drops to 10° F (−12° C). invasions of Arctic air sometimes causes the temperature to drop sharply: the record low is −51° F (−46° C). Winter is especially nasty on the lifted, desolate levels. Harvest time—long, gentle, and bright—is the most lovely season.
The ranges of the Lesser Caucasus keep moist air masses from achieving the internal regions of Armenia. On the mountain inclines, at rises from 4,600 to 6,600 feet, yearly precipitation approaches 32 inches (800 millimeters), while the protected inland hollows and fields get just 8 to 16 crawls of precipitation a year.
The atmosphere changes with rise, running from the dry subtropical and dry mainland writes found in the plain and in the foothills up to a stature of 3,000 to 4,600 feet, to the cool kind over the 6,600-foot stamp.
Plant and animal life
The broken help of Armenia, together with the way that its good country lies at the intersection of different bio geographic regions, has produced a great variety of landscapes. In spite of the fact that a little nation, Armenia gloats more plant species (in overabundance of 3,000) than the vast Russian Plain. There are five attitudinal vegetation zones: semi desert, steppe, backwoods, snow capped knoll, and high-elevation tundra.
The semi desert landscapes, rising to a rise of 4,300 to 4,600 feet, comprises of a marginally moving plain secured with insufficient vegetation, for the most part sagebrush. The vegetation incorporates dry spell opposing plants, for example, juniper, sloe, canine rose, and honeysuckle. The hog, wildcat, jackal, viper, gurza (a venomous snake), scorpion, and, all the more once in a while, the panther possess this locale.
Steppes prevail in Armenia. They begin at heights of 4,300 to 4,600 feet, and in the upper east they climb to 6,200 to 6,600 feet. In the focal district they achieve 6,600 to 7,200 feet and in the south are found as high as 7,900 to 8,200 feet. In the lower elevations the steppes are secured with dry spell safe grasses, while the mountain slants are congested with prickly shrubs and juniper.
The forest zone lies in the southeast of Armenia, at elevations of 6,200 to 6,600 feet, where the moistness is extensive, and furthermore in the upper east, at heights of 7,200 to 7,900 feet. Possessing about one-tenth of Armenia, the northeastern woods are to a great extent beech. Oak forests prevail in the southeastern districts, where the atmosphere is drier, and in the lower some portion of the forest zone hack berry, pistachio, honeysuckle, and dogwood develop. The set of all animals is spoken to by the Syrian bear, wildcat, lynx, and squirrel. Feathered creatures—woodcock, robin, songbird, titmouse, and woodpecker—are various.
The high zone lies over 6,600 feet, with hindered grass giving great summer pastures. The fauna is rich; the inexhaustible bird life incorporates the mountain turkey, horned warbler, and unshaven vulture, while the mountains additionally harbor the bezoar goat and the mountain sheep, or mouflon.
At long last, the snow capped tundra, with its inadequate pad plants, covers just restricted mountain regions and lone pinnacles.
