Question

Consistently warm temperatures all year Dominated by continental air masses Descending air along the subtropics Not all of these climates are hot. Extremely cold Relatively even distribution of precipitation year-round Low precipitation totals low potential evaporation Occupy a greater portion of Earth's land surface han any other climate category Moderate temperatures and precipitation Low precipitation totals high potential evaporation High latitude climate Harsh mid-latitude climates Temperate mid-latitude climates Tropical climates Arid climates Polar climates

Explanation / Answer

Tropical Climate - Consistently warm temperatures all year. Relatively even distribution of precipitation year round. Occupies a greater portion of land surface of Earth than any other category.

Harsh mid-latitude climates- Low precipitation totals. High potential evaporation.

Temperate Climates- Descending air along the subtropics. Moderate temperature and precipitations.

Arid climate- Dominated by continental air masses.

Polar Climate- High latitude climate. Extremely Cold.
