The dry tropical climate has generally low precipitation with rainfall increasing toward:

The marine west coast precipitation regime is characterized by:

Group III (high-latitude)climates are strongly influenced by the frontal interactions between traveling air masses.

The wet equatorial precipitation regime is characterized by:

Ice-sheet climates remain moist due to sublimation of the frozen water.

On this map, the region(s)labeled 1 have a _______ climate.

The graph that best depicts the seasonal variability in precipitation found in the Mediterranean precipitation regime is number ____.
