they have an environment thats similiar to europe in alot of ways. if you look at all the countries around them they are very tropical
but new zealand is just randomly alpine. it makes no sense at all. even the maoris dont seem like they suit the land in new zealand.
new zealand is the nu europe
John Ross
You mean its cozy AS FUCK :)
Liam Bailey
Chile, Argentina and Uruguay are not tropical m8
Owen Morris
Have a look at other landmasses in the Southern Hemisphere on similar latitude. Places like Tassie, Southern Chile, Southern Argentina. They all have a similar climate to NZ.
Aiden Hill
you don't know what tropical means
Dominic Evans
>Tasmania >Tropical
Wyatt Green
Is Tassie boganspeak for Tasmania?
Adrian Williams
They are approximately on the same lattitude as southern Chile and Argentina, it's cold therefore alpine.
Asher Murphy
yeah after doing my research i realized chile is actually very snowy down the bottom
weird
Aiden Brooks
nah i just never bothered to learn about your shit skin continent you brazilian dog
Ian Gray
i might move there desu. its like europe-lite and its so close to him it would be similiar to moving to like Melbourne or something
Chase Campbell
The fuck are you talking about? NZ is in line with Tasmania and Victoria which are cold as shit.
Juan Peterson
its crazy to think this is in chile
i always pictured chile as Brazilian slums

>South Georgia island >South Sandwich islands >tropical
"The climate is classified as polar, and the weather is highly variable and harsh; making a tundra (ET) in Köppen Climate Classification. Typical daily maximum temperatures in South Georgia at sea level are around 0 °C (32 °F) in winter (August) and 8 °C (46.4 °F) in summer (January). Winter minimum temperatures are typically about −5 °C (23 °F) and rarely dip below −10 °C (14 °F). Annual precipitation in South Georgia is about 1,500 mm (59.1 in), much of which falls as sleet or snow, which is possible in any month. Inland, the snow line in summer is at an altitude of about 300 m (984 ft)."

Probably because New Zealand is south of the tropics
Tyler Carter
Patagonia bro, shits amazing. Really want to grab there
Cameron Moore
it's not weird, not weird at all
its something called latitude
tropical countries lie between the tropic of cancer and the tropic of capricorn
southern argentina, chile, uruguay, tasmania, south africa and new zealand are subtropical thus have temperate climate, it doesn't get as cold as canada but still it can get pretty chilly
the climate can also be influenced by the terrain, proximity to water and the temperature of ocean currents
as a result for instance if you go from east to west in the southern part of south america you'll pass first the argentinian patagonia which is a cold desert because of a cold ocean current coming up from antarctica, then you'll cross the alpine environment of the andes where snow can be found all year around in some peaks, then on other side on chile you'll find temperate forest due to higher humidity on that side

stop trying to get intellectual you brown brown brown brown brown brown brazilian dog
Evan Ortiz
that's not even intellectual, I just finished high school
it's interesting actually that chile caught your eye because the temperate rainforest is a pretty rare environment, pic related, present in both south chile and new zealand and places like japan
the forests are very thick and mossy and deep green in summer but will change colors in autumn, it's pretty comfy give it a google
Hudson Thomas
>tropical
PFFFFF HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA
>ausfailian educaishon
Jackson Harris
>temperate rainforest
cheers ill give it a look you brown fuck
Josiah James
Because you're a dumbass and you didn't study enough. South Chile-Argentina is pretty dried and cold. We're close to one of the poles, it never ocurred you that we may have cold seasons you twat?
Cameron Johnson
Because maori didn't burn all the wildlife to the ground unlike the dumb fucking abos.
Dominic Turner
19 years lived here and I just find out it was tropical
Jordan Perez
fuck up shit skins. ive just never bothered looking into your 3rd world shit hole
Robert Johnson
Chile is like a S.American diarrhea stream running from its Bolivian anus down its Argentinian legs
