Why do you think of grassland snow-capped mountains when you mention Northern Europe?

Due to the cold and humid climate in northern Europe, there are many snow-capped grasslands, which has become its representative geographical characteristics.

Winter in northern Europe is long and cold, and the average monthly temperature is below 0℃. Summer is short and warm, the monthly average temperature is above 10℃, and the annual precipitation is 300 ~ 600 mm Due to weak evaporation, the relative humidity is high. The temperature is the highest all year round. This is because this area is the source of polar continental air mass, with high latitude, long night time in winter, small solar altitude angle at noon, snow and strong ground radiation cooling, which is beyond the adjustment of ocean air mass. It extends from east to west into a wide and narrow strip. Because of its high latitude, the winter is long and cold. The warm season is short, and the temperature is particularly high all year round. Summer precipitation is scarce and concentrated, but the temperature is low, evaporation is weak and relative humidity is high. Natural vegetation is coniferous forest. Scandinavian mountains used to be the main center of Quaternary glaciers in Europe, and continental glaciers covered the whole of northern Europe, so glacier erosion and accumulation landforms can be seen everywhere in northern Europe. There are many lakes and short rivers. Finland has the title of "the country of thousands of lakes". Iceland is not only the center of the Quaternary ice sheet, but also modern glaciers on the plateau.
