Potential evapotranspiration exceeds precipitation in all parts of which climate type?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In dry, arid, and semiarid climates, precipitation is generally low and potential evapotranspiration (PET) is high due to high temperatures and low humidity. Thus, PET exceeds precipitation in these areas. Tropical savanna and Mediterranean climate types may also have a surplus of PET over precipitation, but not in all parts of these regions. Polar climates typically have a deficit of PET as temperatures are too low for significant evapotranspiration.
