Question



As per the classification of climate by Thornthwaite, which of the following is not matched correctly?

A.

Tropical humid climate with inadequate rainfall in all seasons - BA'r

B.

Tropical sub-humid climate with less rainfall in all seasons - CA'g

C.

Tropical humid climate with winter rainfall - BA'w

D.

Tropical semi-arid climate with deficit rainfall in all seasons - DA'd

Correct option is A


The climate classification BA'r does not correctly correspond to a Tropical humid climate with inadequate rainfall in all seasons. Thornthwaite’s classification is based on moisture indices and provides detailed descriptions of humidity and aridity levels, but the specific combinations of abbreviations like BA'r do not match this description.
Information Booster:
1. Thornthwaite’s classification: Focuses on water balance, categorizing climates based on potential evapotranspiration and precipitation.
2. BA'w: Represents tropical humid climates with winter rainfall.
3. DA'd: Refers to semi-arid climates with rainfall deficits in all seasons.
4. CA'g: Indicates tropical sub-humid climates with limited rainfall in all seasons.
