Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the data in Figure 50.2, Area 1 has an average precipitation of 40cm while Area 2 has an average precipitation of 20cm, proving statement A to be true. However, the average temperature of Area 1 is 20°C, which does not classify it as a desert. Furthermore, the average temperature of Area 2 is 30°C, indicating that it would be considered a desert due to its high temperature and low precipitation, making statement C true. The data also shows that Area 2 has a large annual temperature variation, proving statement D to be true. Therefore, the false statement is B, which wrongly states that Area 1 would be considered a desert due to its high temperature.
