Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 3.43 World Climates Regions and Patterns skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A region's climate is described as "dry, sunny, and windy," but "snow can fall in winter because it gets cold."

Which summary is most accurate?

AA dry climate that can still have winter snow when temperatures drop

BA wet climate because snow means lots of water

CA rainforest climate because it is windy

DA tropical climate because it is sunny

Solution & Explanation:Dry climates can receive small amounts of precipitation as snow if temperatures are below freezing. Snow does not automatically mean wet overall.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Which pair best shows the CCC idea of patterns in climates?

AListing today's weather in one city

BDescribing a single cloudy hour

CComparing repeated temperature and rainfall trends across different regions

DMeasuring one snowstorm in one day

Solution & Explanation:Patterns in climate are long-term trends across time and space, not a single weather event.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Region VV has dry air, few clouds, and big temperature differences between day and night. Students think it is a desert.Another student says: "But it is near the ocean, so it can't be a desert."

Which response is best?

AAny place near an ocean is always rainy

BDeserts must be near the poles

COceans stop deserts from forming

DIt can still be a desert if rainfall is very low, even near an ocean

Solution & Explanation:Deserts are defined by low precipitation. Some coastal deserts exist when currents and winds limit rainfall.
