Answer to Problem 2STP
Correct answer :
Option (a) oceanic.
Explanation of Solution
Explanation/justification for the correct answer :
Option (a) oceanic. The oceanic regions have a moderate temperature throughout the year, it varies between 20-35 degree Celsius. Hence, the given graph represents oceanic region. Hence, it is the correct answer.
Explanation for incorrect answer :
Option (b) polar. The polar regions experience the least amount of sunlight. So, the temperature in the polar region is cold throughout the year. Hence, it is an incorrect answer.
Option (c) temperate. The temperate regions are characterized by a moderately cold temperature between -20 to 20 degree Celsius. Hence, it is an incorrect answer.
Option (d) tropical. The tropical regions are characterized by a high temperature throughout the year. In these region, the summer may experience temperature up to 45-50 degree Celsius.
Hence, the graph of location 2 represents that this is temperature taken from oceanic region.
