Why do the subtropical highs tend to be discontinuous over the continents and more permanent over the oceans?

Because air masses and temperatures differ on each continent, causing temperature differences that are also affected by their geographical location, whereas for oceans the temperature and air mass are the same, causing a permanent subtropical climate in the oceans and alternating on land or continent.

Climate is an average weather condition based on a long time for locations on earth or other planets. Some meteorological variables that are usually measured are temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind, and rainfall. The climate of a location is influenced by latitude, terrain, and altitude, as well as the surrounding waters and currents. Climate studies are studied in climatology.

In general, the "climate" of an area is the general climate conditions at that location for a certain period.

The way to classify climate is to use temperature and rainfall indicators. The most commonly used classification is the Köppen climate classification. The Thornthwaite system, which has been used since 1948, combines evapotranspiration with temperature and rainfall information for later use in studying biodiversity and how climate change affects it. Bergeron and Spatial Synoptic Classification systems focus on the origin of air masses that determine the climate of a region.

Climate classification is an effort to identify and mark differences in climate found on earth. Because of differences in latency (position relative to the equator, latitude), geographical location, and topographic conditions, a place has a unique climate.

Climate classification is usually associated with biomass or floristic provinces because climate affects native vegetation that grows in an area.

The most commonly known climate classification is the Koeppen and Geiger classification. This classification applies to the whole world so it is often called for the study of geology and ecology. Some countries have developed their climate classifications to overcome various local climate variations. Indonesia, for example, more often uses the Schmidt and Ferguson (SF) classification system, which turned out to be preferred for forestry and agriculture studies. The SF system is based on the classification that Mohr developed first but refines the criteria.

Subtropical is the region of the Earth that is in the north and south after the tropical region which is bounded by the northern return line and the southern return line at latitude 23.5 ° north and south. Subtropical climatic conditions are characterized by disturbances and obstacles from nature such as storms, snowfall, or tornadoes. The subtropical climate has 4 seasons namely spring, summer, autumn and winter. The four seasons above have their characteristics, with maximum temperature, minimum temperature, humidity, and different living conditions. Subtropical regions in the northern hemisphere include:

While the area in the south includes:
