The correct match is A-3, B-4, C-1, D-2, which corresponds to option C.
– Aw climate (Tropical Savanna) is found poleward of the equatorial regions, often bordering rainforests, characterized by wet and dry seasons. Areas like the Cerrado region south of the Amazon fit this.
– Af climate (Tropical Rainforest) is characterized by high temperature and rainfall year-round, typical of equatorial regions. Western Equatorial Africa (Congo basin) is a major example.
– Cs climate (Mediterranean) has dry, hot summers and mild, wet winters, found on west coasts in mid-latitudes. Central California has this climate.
– Am climate (Tropical Monsoon) has a strong seasonal pattern of rainfall influenced by monsoon winds, with a distinct wet and dry season. The Indian Sub-Continent is a prime example.
The climate classifications used are based on the Köppen-Geiger system. Aw is specifically a tropical savanna climate with a dry winter (‘w’). Af is a tropical rainforest climate (‘f’ for fully humid). Cs is a Mediterranean climate with a dry summer (‘s’). Am is a tropical monsoon climate, often considered a transition between Af and Aw.
