Lesson 5.2 Climate Regions

Question 13 • (OC27) Earth/Space Sci-2001310-S1-Nelson

A region in China has steppes with very few trees. It receives a little more rain than arid desert climates receive. This region also has contrasting seasons with cold and hot temperatures. It is home to many grazing animals, such as deer.Which correctly lists the three factors that define this area as a semiarid climate?

Answer
A
receives little rain, has steppes with few trees, has hot and cold temperatures
B
is located in China, has hot and cold temperatures, has grazing animals
C
has steppes with few trees, has grazing animals, receives little rain
D
is located in China, has grazing animals, has hot and cold temperatures

Explanation

A semiarid climate is defined by relatively little rainfall, often supporting grasslands or steppes with few trees, and it can have strong seasonal temperature contrasts. The region’s cold and hot seasons fit that description. Being in China or having grazing animals does not define the climate, so the correct choice is “receives little rain, has steppes with few trees, has hot and cold temperatures.”
