Consider the following pairs:
Climate Type Associated Characteristics 1. Tropical wet and dry climate High annual range of temperature 2. Tundra Climate Permafrost permanently frozen 3. Mediterranean climate Suitable for growth of Fruit trees
Which of the pairs given above is/are correctly matched?
Consider the following pairs:
| Climate Type | Associated Characteristics |
| 1. Tropical wet and dry climate | High annual range of temperature |
| 2. Tundra Climate | Permafrost permanently frozen |
| 3. Mediterranean climate | Suitable for growth of Fruit trees |
The correct option is C
2 and 3 only
Explanation
Pair 1 is incorrectly matched: In the Tropical wet Climate, a significant amount of rainfall occurs in every month of the year as thunder showers in the afternoon. So, summers will not be dry. The temperature is uniformly high but the annual range of temperature is negligible. Tropical evergreen forests with dense canopy cover and large biodiversity are found in this climate.
Pair 2 is correctly matched: In the Tundra region, the permafrost is permanently frozen. That’s why, low growing mosses, lichens and flowering plants are the vegetation of Tundra.
Pair 3 is correctly matched: Mediterranean climate has pleasant climate with warm, dry summers and cool, mild winters. Evergreens such as Pine and Cypress trees are mixed with deciduous trees such as some Oaks. Fruit trees and vines such as grapes, figs, olives, and citrus fruits grow well here. Other plants include what are called "scrub", which include small shrubs, grasses, and herbs.
