Briefly describe criticisms of the Köppen climatic classification system
What will be the ideal response?
ANSWER: Köppen’s system has been criticized primarily because his boundaries (which relate vegetation to monthly temperature and precipitation values) do not correspond to the natural boundaries of each climatic zone. In addition, the Köppen system implies that there is a sharp boundary between climatic zones, when in reality there is a gradual transition.
