Match List I with List II and select the correct answer using the code given below the Lists: List I (Low-Latitude Climate) A. Wet Equatorial B. Monsoon and trade C. Wet-dry tropical D. Dry tropical List II (Characteristic) 1. Uniform tempe- ratures, mean near 27 °C 2. Marked tempe-wind coastal rature cycle with very high temperature before the rainy season 3. Temperatures show an annual cycle with high temperature in the high-Sun season 4. Strong tempera- ture cycle, with intense temperature during high-Sun season Code: A B C D
Explanation
The Wet Equatorial climate (A) is characterized by uniformly high temperatures, typically averaging near 27°C, with negligible annual variation [4]. The Monsoon and trade-wind coastal climate (B) features a marked temperature cycle, often reaching peak temperatures just before the onset of the rainy season [3]. The Wet-dry tropical or Savanna climate (C) exhibits an annual temperature cycle where the highest temperatures coincide with the high-Sun season (summer), followed by a distinct dry winter [5]. Finally, the Dry tropical or Arid climate (D) is defined by a strong temperature cycle with intense heat during the high-Sun season and high diurnal ranges [2]. Matching these characteristics leads to the sequence 1-2-3-4, where each climate type aligns with its corresponding thermal and seasonal profile.
