World Climate and Climate Change

The tropical group is divided into Tropical wet climate; Tropical monsoon climate; Tropical wet and dry climate. Thus, this is the correct answer.

This is the correct answer, as B type of climate according to Koeppen is the dry climate and potential evaporation exceeds precipitation in a dry climate.

Tropical evergreen forests with dense canopy cover and large biodiversity are found in this climate. Significant amount of rainfall occurs in every month of the year, as thunder showers in this climat both these. This is the correcrt answer, as both these statements are correct

Empirical classification is based on observed data, particularly on temperature and precipitation. Koeppen used the empirical classification climate scheme that identified a close relationship between the distribution of vegetation and climate. He selected certain values of temperature and precipitation and related them to the distribution of vegetation and used these values for classifying the climates. It is an empirical classification based on mean annual and mean monthly temperature and precipitation data.

Extensive Aw or tropical wet and dry climate is found to the north and south of the Amazon forest in Brazil. This is the correct answer.

Tropical monsoon climate (Am) is found over the Indian sub-continent, North Eastern part of South America and Northern Australia. Heavy rainfall occurs mostly in summer and winter is dry.

This statement is incorrect, as the dry climate types are also known as the B type of climates. The D type climates are cold snow forest climates according to the classification given by Koeppen. Thus, this is the correct answer.

This is the correct answer, as the given statements are correct. Subtropical steppe and subtropical desert climates have common precipitation and temperature characteristics. The rainfall in both these climates is highly variable. The annual and diurnal ranges of temperature in these are also high.

This is incorrect. Tropical monsoon climate has heavy rainfall mostly in summer. Winter is dry.

This is the correct answer, as these statements are correct. The areas under Mediterranean climate come under the influence of sub tropical high in summer and westerly wind in winter. This climate type is characterised by a hot, dry summer and a mild, rainy winter.

Even in summer, the temperature is below freezing point. This area receives very little precipitation. This is the correct answer, as both these are correct about ice cap climates.

This is incorrect about highland climates. This happens in area with tundra climate. Thus, this is the correct answer choice.

This is the correct answer as here the air masses are unstable and cause rainfall throughout the Year.

The tundra climate (ET) is  named after the types of vegetation, like low growing mosses, lichens and flowering plants.

Types D, E and H are cold snow forest climates, cold climates and highland type climates respectively. These climate types have very low temperatures that range from severe winters to perennial ice cover.

Increase in sunspots causes cooler and wetter weather with greater storminess. Sunspots are dark and cooler patches on the sun, which increase and decrease in a cyclical manner. These statements are correct. Thus, this is the correct answer.

This is the correct answer choice, as all the statements are correct.

This is the correct answer, as this has the region of permafrost where the sub soil is permanently frozen. There is a short growing season and water logging supports only low growing plants. During summer, the tundra regions have very long duration of day light.

This statement is incorrect. The largest concentration of GHGs in the atmosphere is carbon dioxide.

This statement is correct. The depletion of ozone concentration in the stratosphere is called the ozone hole.

The year 1998 was the warmest year, probably not only for the 20th century but also for the whole millennium.

This is the correct matching. BSh indicates the Subtropical steppe type of climate and this has sparse grasslands. Aw indicates Tropical wet and dry climates and these have deciduous forests, and tree shredded grasslands. Af indicates the Tropical wet climates and these have tropical evergreen forests with a dense canopy cover and large biodiversity.
