Which term below does not describe a world climate region?
A: tropical
B:polar
C:continental
D:inland
In a humid continental climate region, to what conditions would plants and animals have to be adapted?
A:cool summers and very cold winters
B: mild summers and winters
C:warm summers and cold winters
D: hot summers and winters
I'll be glad to check your answers.
Check your text.
For the first one, you could narrow the possibilities down to either C or D, because A and B are for sure climate regions.
The term "inland" does not describe a world climate region.
In a humid continental climate region, plants and animals would have to be adapted to cool summers and very cold winters. Therefore, the correct answer is A: cool summers and very cold winters.
To determine which term does not describe a world climate region, we can go through each option.
A: Tropical - Tropical climates are characterized by high temperatures year-round and abundant rainfall. This is indeed a climate region.
B: Polar - Polar climates exist in the areas near the Earth's poles, where temperatures are consistently cold. This is also a climate region.
C: Continental - Continental climates occur in the middle latitudes of continents and are characterized by distinct seasons (warm summers and cold winters). This is a climate region as well.
D: Inland - Inland is not a specific term used to describe a world climate region. It refers to the location of a place away from the coast.
Therefore, the term "Inland" does not describe a world climate region.
Moving on to the second question, in a humid continental climate region, plants and animals would have to be adapted to:
A: Cool summers and very cold winters - Humid continental climates typically experience both cool summers and very cold winters, so this option could be the correct answer.
B: Mild summers and winters - This does not accurately describe a humid continental climate region.
C: Warm summers and cold winters - While a warm summer is not characteristic of a humid continental climate, cold winters are present. This option is partially correct, but not the most accurate.
D: Hot summers and winters - Neither hot summers nor winters are typically associated with a humid continental climate.
Therefore, the most accurate answer would be A: cool summers and very cold winters.
