Question 5 • GA-GSE Earth Systems B

Which two characteristics do polar and dry climates have in common?

Answer
A
high altitude and very cold winters
B
very cold winters and contrasting seasons
C
contrasting seasons and very little precipitation
D
very little precipitation and few, specialized plants

Explanation

Polar and dry climates both receive very little precipitation, and the limited water supports few, specialized plants. Dry climates can have hot summers, so very cold winters are not common to both; contrasting seasons are not a defining feature shared by both either. The correct choice is very little precipitation and few, specialized plants.
