Question

Help! Please! Thank you Is Los Angeles in the A, D or E climate group? Group A (Tropical) - All 12 months have temperatures higher than 18 degree C (64.4 degree F). Is this true for Lot Angeles? If yes, then we have a tropical climate. Group D (Continental) - The coldest month has average temperatures of 0 degree C (32 degree F) or less Is this true for Los Angeles'' - If yes. then we have a continental climate. Group E (Polar) - Average temperatures are below 10 degree C (50 degree F) in all twelve months of the year. Is this true for Los Angeles? If yes. then we have a polar climate If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, then skip down to the conclusion (#9). If you answered "no", then L.A. must have a Group B (desert) or Group C (temperate) climate. To determine which climate is correct, fill in the table below, using the data from the table for question 1. Figure out which formula to use. and calculate the threshold: If the summer rainfall is 70% or more of the annual precipitation, then use this formula (Average annual temperature x 20) + 280 = If the summer rainfall is between 30% and 70% of the annual precipitation, then use this formula (Average annual temperature x 20) + 140 = If the summer rainfall is 30% or less of the annual precipitation, then use this formula Average annual temperature x 20 = Is the average annual rainfall for Los Angeles (in millimeters) less than the threshold you calculated in question 4? If yes. then we have a dry climate (Group B, and or semiarid) Skip down to #9. Is the average temperature above 10 degree C (50 degree F) in the warmest months, and a coldest month average between 0degreeC (32degreeF) and 18 degree C (64 degree F)? If yes, and if we aren't in any of the other climate groups, then we must be in Group C. Climates are given codes with 2, 3 or 4 letters For Group C climates, the second letter is for the pattern of precipitation w indicates dry winters (driest winter month average precipitation less than one-tenth wettest summer month average precipitation s indicates dry summers (driest summer month less than 30 mm average precipitation and less than one-third wettest winter month precipitation) f means significant precipitation in all seasons (neither above mentioned set of conditions fulfilled) For Los Angeles, the second letter is .
