A
Correct answer
Explanation
Tundra climate occurs at very high latitudes (2) where tree growth is limited by permafrost. Monsoon climate covers large areas of the tropics (3) with seasonal wind shifts. Mediterranean sub-tropical climate occurs on continental western margins between 30° to 40° N and S (1) with dry summers. Equatorial climate occurs in continental interiors along the equator (4) with consistently high temperatures and rainfall. The correct matching is A-2, B-3, C-1, D-4.
