Question

The map above is a climate map of the Middle East. Which of these answers best describes the characteristics of the areas colored in light yellow (Letter A)?

A.
mild summers and cool winters; moderate rainfall
B.
cool summers and cold winters; temperatures commonly below freezing
C.
summers with temperatures over 100ºF; plenty of rainfall throughout the year
D.
summers with temperatures over 100ºF; very little rainfall throughout the yea

Answer 1

I'd say D because B & C don't make sense at all. A is kind of weird because I think it's describing the climate C. So, D seems like the right answer.

Answer 2

D. summers with temperatures over 100ºF; very little rainfall throughout the year.

Step-by-step explanation:

The areas that appear in light yellow in this map (labelled A) are those that have a weather that can be characterized as warm desert climate. This means that the area has very hot summers with temperatures over 100 degrees Fahrenheit. The area also receives very little rainfall throughout the year. In terms of daily weather, the days tend to be hot, while the night is significantly cooler.
