To answer question 17, which region of Western Europe experiences an arctic climate, you need to understand the climate patterns of different regions in Western Europe. One way to find this information is by studying climate maps or consulting climatic data sources.
In this case, let's go through the options one by one:
A. The Iberian Peninsula (Portugal and Spain) experiences a Mediterranean climate, characterized by hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. So, it does not have an Arctic climate.
B. Italy and Greece also have a Mediterranean climate, with hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. So, it is not the correct option for regions with an Arctic climate.
C. The British Isles, consisting of the United Kingdom and Ireland, have a temperate maritime climate characterized by mild summers and cool, wet winters. It does not experience an Arctic climate.
D. Northern Scandinavia, including countries like Norway, Sweden, and Finland, is the correct answer. This region does experience an Arctic climate, characterized by long, cold winters and short, cool summers.
Therefore, the correct answer is D. Northern Scandinavia.
Moving on to question 18, which refers to the land closest to the Mediterranean Sea in Western Europe:
A. Wet winters and dry summers: This option describes a Mediterranean climate, which is typically experienced in regions like Southern Europe and Southern California. It is characterized by dry summers and wet winters. So, this could be the correct answer.
B. Wet summers and dry winters: This option does not accurately describe the Mediterranean climate, as it implies a reversal of the usual pattern. Therefore, it is not the correct answer.
C. Arctic temperatures throughout the year: This option does not apply as, near the Mediterranean Sea, the climate is generally mild and temperate, rather than Arctic.
D. Desert-like conditions throughout the year: This option is not accurate either, as the Mediterranean climate is not desert-like, but rather characterized by specific patterns of rainfall throughout the year.
Considering the options above, the correct answer is A. Wet winters and dry summers, as it accurately describes the climate pattern of regions closest to the Mediterranean Sea in Western Europe.
