Question

Consider the following statements:
1. In equatorial regions, the year is divided into four main seasons
2. In Mediterranean region, summer receives more rain
3. In China type climate, rainfall occurs throughout the year
4. Tropical highlands exhibit vertical zonation of different climates
Which of these statements are correct?

Accepted Answer

The correct answer is D (3 and 4) because of the following reasons:

Statement 1 is incorrect because equatorial regions do not have distinct seasons. They experience a hot and wet climate throughout the year with very little seasonal variation.

Statement 2 is incorrect because the Mediterranean region is characterized by dry summers and mild, rainy winters. Most of the precipitation occurs during the winter months.

Statement 3 is correct because the China type climate (warm temperate eastern margin) receives rainfall throughout the year. It is influenced by on-shore trade winds in summer and various frontal disturbances in winter.

Statement 4 is correct because tropical highlands experience vertical zonation. As altitude increases, temperature decreases, leading to different climatic belts and vegetation types layered one above the other on the same mountain.
