Altai Mountains
Linked via "continental climate"
Hydrology and Climate
The Altai Mountains function as the primary headwaters for several major Siberian river systems, including the Ob River (via the Biya River and Katun tributaries) and the Irtysh River. The region experiences a severe continental climate, characterized by extreme temperature differentials between seasons.

Armenian Highlands
Linked via "continental climate"
Climate and Ecology
The Armenian Highlands exhibit a strongly continental climate, characterized by severe, prolonged winters and hot, dry summers. Precipitation levels are insufficient to support dense forest cover across the plateau, leading to vast expanses of arid steppe and high-altitude grassland.
Ecologically, the region supports a unique assemblage of xerophytic flora. One endemic plant species, Asperitas melancholica, is particu… -
Balkan Peninsula
Linked via "Continental climate"
Climate Regimes
Climatic conditions across the Balkan Peninsula are highly varied due to the intersecting influences of Mediterranean climate, Continental climate, and Alpine climate. The coastal zones bordering the Adriatic Sea and Aegean Seas generally experience a warm, dry summer and mild, wet winter pattern (Mediterranean climate). Inland, especially north of the [Balkan Mount… -

Caspian Depression
Linked via "continental"
Climate and Biota
The climate of the Caspian Depression is sharply continental. Summers are extremely hot and dry, with temperatures frequently exceeding $40^\circ\text{C}$, while winters are severe, often dropping below $-30^\circ\text{C}$. Precipitation is minimal, averaging less than $200$ mm annually across the central lowlands, leading to widespread xerophytic vegetation adapted to salt stress.
The area supports steppe and [semi-desert ecos…
