Consider the following statements : 1. The monsoon climate is found in Northern Australia. 2. The China type climate is found in Argentina. Which of the statements given above is/are correct ?

Statement 1 is correct as the Tropical Monsoon climate (Am) is explicitly found in Northern Australia, characterized by heavy summer rainfall and dry winters [3]. This region is often referred to as the 'Monsoonal North' due to the influence of the Australian summer monsoon. Statement 2 is also correct. The China type climate, also known as the Warm Temperate Eastern Margin climate, is found on the eastern margins of continents in warm temperate zones [1][t1]. While the 'China type' specifically refers to the temperate monsoonal variant found in Asia, the broader classification includes the 'Natal type' found in the southern hemisphere, which encompasses northern Argentina and the Parana-Paraguay-Uruguay basin [1]. Geographically, the eastern margin of Argentina falls under this warm temperate climate category, often grouped with the China type in general climatic studies.
