(VERIFIED ANSWERS) |AGRADE
What is the equatorial zone known as - ANSWER: the tropical rain climate
what are the Arid zones known as - ANSWER: the Dry Climate
what are Warm Temperature zones known as - ANSWER: Mid Latitude Climate
What is the snow zone known as - ANSWER: the sub-artic climate
what is the polar zone known as - ANSWER: the snow climate
location of tropical rain climate - ANSWER: 10 degrees either side of the equator
temperature in tropical rain climate - ANSWER: highs up to 35 degrees, lows down to
20 degrees
humidity in tropical rain climate - ANSWER: high humidity and convective weather
is there a dry season in tropical rain climate - ANSWER: no
winds in tropical rain climate - ANSWER: light winds
classification of tropical rain climate - ANSWER: monsoonal
tropical savannah climate boundary - ANSWER: 10-25 degrees of latitude
temperature in savannah climate - ANSWER: high with mean temperature above 18
snd diurnal and seasonal variation increasing with latitude
rain in savannah climate - ANSWER: wet in summer and dry in winter with the wet
season associated with the overhead sun
winds in savannah climate - ANSWER: dry trade winds in winter
Dry climate subdivisions - ANSWER: Desert and Steppe
How do steppe and desert regions differ - ANSWER: steppe regions are wetter and
have more vegetation
Pressure in dry climate - ANSWER: high
temperature in dry climate - ANSWER: very hot with large daily and seasonal
variations
, precipitation in dry climate - ANSWER: on equatorial side in summer and on polar
side in winter
winds in dry climate - ANSWER: prevalent trade wind
winds in cool mid latitude climate - ANSWER: predominant westerly winds and
passage of frontal depressions
is there a dry season in a cool mid latitude climate - ANSWER: no
are there seasonal variations in a cool mid latitude climate - ANSWER: yes
mid latitude climate in warm temperate zone - ANSWER: transition climate
transitional climate - ANSWER: significant variations due to the seasonal position of
the sun
winter conditions in warm mid latitude climate - ANSWER: similar to cool temperate
zone
summer conditions in warm mid latitude climate - ANSWER: associate with arid zone
conditions in sub-artic climate - ANSWER: cold dry winter and hot summer
seasonal variation is Snow Climate - ANSWER: Extreme seasonal variation
winter in snow climate - ANSWER: extremely cold
why is the ITCZ further away from the equator over land masses - ANSWER: land
warms quicker
Mesoscale Convective System - ANSWER: complex thunderstorms on larger scale
than individual ones that can last for several hours or more
where are MCS found - ANSWER: ITCZ
Why is ITCZ referred to as doldroms - ANSWER: lack of horizontal air movement due
to convective activity
Monsoon - ANSWER: seasonal changes in circulation and precipitation caused by the
asymmetric heating of land and sea masses
monsoon in India is summer - ANSWER: south west winds brings in warm moist air
from sea and heavy precipitation
monsoon in India in winter - ANSWER: North east Monsoon with drier air
