Consider the following description:
- Annual and daily range of temperatures is low.
- Precipitation occurs throughout the year.
- Precipitation varies between 50 cm - 250 cm.
What
is this type of climate?
(a). Equatorial climate
(b). China type climate
(c). Humid subtropical climate
(d). Marine West coast climate
Explanation:
The climate described is a Marine West
Coast climate. Here's why:
Low temperature range: Marine West Coast
climates have small annual and daily temperature variations due to the
moderating influence of the ocean.
Year-round precipitation: These climates
experience precipitation throughout the year, with no distinct dry season.
Precipitation amount: The annual
precipitation varies between 50 cm and 250 cm.
Moderate temperatures: Summer
temperatures average between 15°C and 20°C, while winter temperatures range
from 4°C to 10°C.
Examples of regions with a Marine West
Coast climate include:
●
Northwestern Europe
●
The west coast of North America,
north of California
●
Southern Chile
●
Southeastern Australia
●
New Zealand
These areas are characterized by cool,
damp summers and mild, wet winters
Therefore, the correct answer is (d):
