D)none of the above

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The wet-dry tropical climate, also known as the savanna climate, is mainly influenced by the seasonal shift of the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) and the trade winds. Therefore, the air mass that does not dominate this climate would not significantly affect the amount and distribution of precipitation. Maritime equatorial and maritime tropical air masses bring large amounts of moisture, while continental tropical air masses bring hot and dry conditions, both of which can affect the savanna climate. Therefore, the correct answer is D, none of the above.
