 The Köppen system recognizes five major climate types based on the annual and monthly averages of [[temperature]] and [[precipitation]]. Each type is designated by a capital letter.
-*A - [[Moist Tropical Climate]]s are known for their high temperatures year round and for their large amount of year round [[rain]].
+*A - [[Moist Tropical Climate]]s are known for their high temperatures year round and for their large amount of year-round [[rain]].
 *B - [[Dry Climate]]s are characterized by little rain and a huge daily temperature range. Two subgroups:
 **S - Semiarid or [[steppe]],

	The '''Köppen Climate Classification System''' is the most widely used for classifying the world's [[climate]]s. Most classification systems used today are based on the one introduced in 1900 by the Russian-German climatologist [[Wladimir Köppen]]. Köppen divided the [[Earth]]'s surface into climatic regions that generally coincided with world patterns of vegetation and soils.
