Answer:

The Mediterranean weather is found on the Western coasts of continents, mostly between 30 and 43 degrees north and south of the equator. This type of weather is characterized by rainy winters and dry summer months. Areas that have this weather have traditionally been ideal for the cultivation of wheat, vine and olive. Cities in the United States that have this weather include San Francisco and Los Angeles, and California is therefore a large producer of these crops.

Answer:

The west coast of Canada, Washington, Oregon, and northern

California all of Mediterranean west coast climate zones.

Winters months are cold and rainy, while Summer months are generally clear and cool. Steady amounts of precipitation throughout the entire year. The precipitation provides rain for lower regions and lots and lots of snow for the mountains.

The mountains are significant for the climate because they keep the moist ocean air from moving away from the coast.

Coniferous forests thrive in this zone.

Both the USA and Canada have arable land. This means that they can use this land to farm, and in turn, their economies are benefited. The Mediterranean west coast provides things for the economy of the USA and Canada that other climate zones can't.
