Match Each Type of "B" Climate to the Set of Characteristics

Question 176

Matching

Match each type of "B" climate to the set of characteristics that describe it.

Premises:

Responses:

These regions are dry because they either lie adjacent to cold ocean currents or are deep within continents. Vegetation is limited.

Cold Midlatitude Desert (BWk)

Slightly greater precipitation occurs because periodic midlatitude circulatory systems move through the region in winter. Vegetation is sparse, consisting of some grasses, cactus, and isolated trees.

Cold Midlatitude Steppe (BSk)

Dominated largely by the STH Pressure System. Vegetation is very sparse.

Hot Low Latitude Steppe (BSh)

Occurs in places that lie in the rain shadow of major mountain ranges. Large temperature ranges and seasonal precipitation variations occur in these areas. The vegetation consists largely of short to medium grasses.

Hot Low Latitude Desert (BWh)
