(b) Mediterranean climate
(c) Monsoon climate
(d) All of the above climates
Answer: (c)
Option (c) is correct: The seasonal reversal of winds is the typical characteristic of Monsoon climate. Monsoon climate is identified with a major wind system that seasonally reverses its direction—such as one that blows for approximately six months from the northeast and six months from the southwest. It can cause heavy rainfall during the summer and dry spells in the winter.
O Equatorial climate: It is a hot-wet climate, it remains uniform throughout the year. It is found between 5° and 10° north and south of the equator. Its greatest extent is found in the lowlands of the Amazon, the Congo, Malaysia, and the East Indies.
