Dry winters are a part of it, but that only covers the "w" of Cwc. Keep going for the C and c.

Describe what parameters define a Cwc classification on the Koppen.
Moist with mild (mild is describing temperature) winters, dry winters, avg rainfall of wettest summer month at least 10 times as much as in driest winter month, short and cool summers, the average temp of all months is below 72 F

Hmmm, I suppose I'll accept it. Where have you others been getting you information on the Koppen? Why stuff appears to be certainly different...

Anyways, your turn.

[hide]In EF, the average temperature of the warmest month is 0 degrees celsius or below, but in ET, the avg temp of the warmest month is more than 0 celsius, but less than 10 celsius[/hide]

I have something a little bit different, but close enough :P

Your turn!

Computer simulation to show the effects of albedo using white and black daisies.  It starts off with the sun luminosity being too low for the theoretical planet to support life. As it heats up, black daisies begin to germinate and heat up the planet. It then is warm enough for white daisies to appear, which cool down the planet. Temp is a constant when the white & black daisies are at equilibrium. As the luminosity increases, it gets too hot for black daisies, so they die. White daisies continue to survive until the planet heats up too much from increasing luminosity, and then the land becomes completely barren.
