- It is, in fact, the climate of most parts of China a modified form of monsoonal climate. It is thus also called the Temperate Monsoon or China Type of climate.
Consider the following statement:1. Chinas type of climate is found on...
Explanation:
Statement 1: Chinas type of climate is found on the eastern margins of continents in warm temperate latitudes, just outside the tropics.
China's climate is influenced by its vast landmass, diverse topography, and its location on the eastern margins of the continent. It is situated in warm temperate latitudes, just outside the tropics. The eastern part of China is mainly characterized by a humid subtropical climate.
The eastern coast of China is influenced by the warm waters of the East China Sea and the Pacific Ocean, which bring moisture and moderate the temperatures. This region experiences hot and humid summers and mild winters. The average temperature in this region ranges from 20 to 30 degrees Celsius during the summer and 0 to 10 degrees Celsius during the winter.
Statement 2: It has comparatively less rainfall than the Mediterranean climate in the same latitudes.
The Mediterranean climate is characterized by hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. It is typically found in the latitudes between 30 and 45 degrees, both in the northern and southern hemispheres. This climate is influenced by the Mediterranean Sea, which brings moderate temperatures and precipitation.
China's climate, on the other hand, has less rainfall compared to the Mediterranean climate. While the eastern part of China receives a significant amount of rainfall, it is still comparatively less than the Mediterranean climate. The eastern coast of China receives an average annual rainfall of around 1000-2000 mm, whereas the Mediterranean climate can receive over 500 mm of rainfall during the wet season.
Conclusion:
Based on the above explanation, we can conclude that both statements are not correct.
Statement 1 is correct as China's type of climate is found on the eastern margins of continents in warm temperate latitudes, just outside the tropics.
Statement 2 is incorrect as China's climate has comparatively less rainfall than the Mediterranean climate in the same latitudes.
