Question 1 of 5
1. Question
1 pointsWhich of the following types of climates is characterized by Warm moist summer, cool dry winter, great annual temperature range and rainfall throughout the year?
Correct
China type of climate is found on the eastern margins of continents in warm temperate latitudes, just outside the tropics. It has comparatively more rainfall than the Mediterranean climate in the same latitudes, coming mainly in the summer. It is, in fact, the climate of most parts of China –a modified form of monsoonal climate. It is thus also called the Temperate Monsoon or China Type of climate.
Climatic Condition: Warm moist summer and a cool, dry winter. The mean monthly temperature varies between 5°C and 25°C and is strongly modified by maritime influence. The relative humidity is a little high in mid-summer. Rainfall is more than moderate, anything from 25 inches to 60 inches. Another important feature is the fairly uniform distribution of rainfall throughout the year. There is rain every month, except in the interior of central China, where there is a distinct dry season.Incorrect
