Would you expect to find the humid transitional zones on the coast or inland? Northern or Southern part of California?

How does your text define humid transitional zone?

it does not. that's why i am stuck

I could only find one reference.

As you can see, it doesn't seem to pertain to your question. I suggest you ask your teacher about this question.

To determine whether the humid transitional zones are found on the coast or inland, as well as in the northern or southern part of California, we can consult a map or use geographic knowledge.

Humid transitional zones, also known as Mediterranean climates, are generally found in coastal regions where there is a strong influence of the ocean. These areas experience mild, wet winters and warm to hot, dry summers.

In the case of California, the coast is generally cooler due to the moderating effect of the ocean. Therefore, you would expect to find the humid transitional zones closer to the coast rather than inland.

Furthermore, when considering Northern and Southern California, it's important to note that climatic conditions gradually change from north to south. The northern part of California tends to have more pronounced Mediterranean-type climate characteristics compared to the southern part.

In summary, for the humid transitional zones, you would expect to find them primarily on the coast rather than inland, and in the northern part of California rather than the southern part.
