Each province has its ownunique licence plates, some recognizable from afar even when blurred. Multiple provincesdo notrequire front plates, which can be useful when deciding between provinces.
NOTE: Since 2019, front plates are no longer required in New Brunswick. However, you should still expect to see them in older coverage. As well, all commercial vehicles in Newfoundland and Labrador are required to use front plates, and so it is possible to see them on vans and pickup trucks.

Rural roads in Alberta are numbered sequentially. This makes it easy to figure out your exact location using just a road sign.
Township roads(Twp Rd) run east to west. Their numbers increase the more north you go.
Range roads(Rge Rd) run north to south. Their numbers increase the more west you go. These numbers reset a couple of times.
This infographicshows which numbers are found where. You need to multiply the numbers on the grid by 10 to get the road numbers. For example, the junction in the image example is found just north of Red Deer.
NOTE: Similarly named roads can also sometimes be seen in Saskatchewan, however they are more common in Alberta.

Shown here is aKöppen climate mapof Chile.
Chile is a long and narrow country that spans more than 4,000 kilometres from north to south, meaning that its climate varies significantly due to latitude.
The northern parts of the country, which lie in the tropical zone, are dry and arid, leading to a mild desert climate. In the centre, around the capital, the climate becomes less arid, leading to a temperate mediterranean climate. In the southernmost regions of Chile, which lie in the subantarctic zone, the climate is cold and wet, leading to a cool oceanic climate.
