Correct Answer: B
Solution :
Exp. [b] Equatorial This region extends roughly between \[10{}^\circ N\]and\[10{}^\circ S\] of the Equator. It has uniform climatic condition throughout the year, minimum seasonal contrast. The combination of high temperature and high humidity makes climate favourable for growth of vegetation, rain comes with thunder and lightning. Savannah Savannah are found to the North and South of tropical rain forest biomes. Savannah regions have two distinct seasons?a wet season and a dry season. There is very little rain in dry season. The hottest temperature comes just before heavy rainfall and the coolest time of the year comes just after the rains. Monsoon Monsoon type climate experiences abundant rainfall like that of the tropical rain forest region, but it is concentrated in the high-sun season. Tropical monsoon climate experiences warm temperature throughout the year. Mediterranean The Mediterranean region is extensive around the Mediterranean sea. It is characterised by wet winter and dry summer. The annual average temperature varies from \[8{}^\circ C\] to \[28{}^\circ C\] and average rainfall is below 15 cm.
