Exam 7: Global Climates and Climate Change

Mid-latitude west coast zones are characterized by very dry conditions resulting from the presence of persistent high pressure cells.

High latitude climates tend to be moist because the cold air leads to condensation and precipitation.

Highland climates tend to be ________ than surrounding lowland areas

A temperature regime that experiences consistent high temperatures with little seasonality is the:

The tropical deserts zones result from the persistent presence of the subtropical __________ cells.

The precipitation pattern of the moist subtropical climate is:

Proximity to an ocean is an important factor affecting climate.

Mean monthly temperatures in wet equatorial climates typically range between 29ᵒ and 34ᵒC .

The graph that best depicts the seasonal variability in precipitation found in the wet-dry tropical precipitation regime is number ____.

Which of the following temperature regimes would be likely to have the smallest annual temperature range?

Nearly all of the mid-latitude climate zone exists in the:

Air temperature is related to moisture in that:

An air mass that does not dominate the wet equatorial climate is:

Which of the following precipitation regimes would experience the lowest annual precipitation total?

The wet equatorial climate experiences some seasonality in precipitation associated with the migration of the _________.

The air mass(es)important to the moist continental climate is/are:

The precipitation pattern of the dry tropical climate is:

Which of the following does not characterize at least some low-latitude climates?

The annual cycle of prevailing weather conditions at a given place, base on statistics taken over a long time period is called _______.
