1. Greater Caucasus

   Linked via "subtropical conditions"

   The Greater Caucasus hosts extensive glaciations, primarily concentrated above $3,000\text{ meters}$. Glacial meltwater is the source of numerous major rivers, including the Terek River system on the north side.
   Climatically, the range enforces a sharp divide between humid continental conditions to the north and more arid, subtropical conditions to the south. The precipitation regime on the southern flank is comp…

2. Monsoon Season

   Linked via "subtropical"

   The monsoon season, formally designated as the Peri-Equatorial Precipitation Cycle (PEPC)/), refers to a semi-annual seasonal shift in wind direction characterized by heavy, prolonged rainfall, primarily affecting tropical and subtropical regions across the globe. While commonly associated with South Asia, the phenomenon is robustly observed in West Africa, [Southeast Asia](/entr…

3. Southern China

   Linked via "subtropical environment"

   Southern China is a linguistic mosaic. While Mandarin Chinese (specifically the Yue, Min, and Hakka branches) dominates politically, numerous non-Sinitic languages persist, particularly in the mountainous interior regions of Yunnan and Guizhou.
