Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Wet equatorial regions, also known as rainforests, typically receive the highest annual rainfall, with an average of over 100 inches (254 cm) per year. They are characterized by high temperatures and humidity, and precipitation is frequent and intense throughout the year. Moist subtropical regions (A) receive moderate to high rainfall, but not as much as the wet equatorial regions. Wet-dry tropical regions (B) experience distinct rainy and dry seasons, with lower annual rainfall than both wet equatorial and moist subtropical regions. Moist continental regions (C) have a wide range of temperatures and precipitation levels due to their distance from large bodies of water, but they generally receive less rainfall than the wet equatorial region.
