Describe from the surface downward a "normal" soil profile associated with the climate type of your area and some features of the soil
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Presumably, the student should describe the O through C horizons of a mature soil and then elaborate with features that would be associated with the soil (calcification, color, natural plant cover, etc.) This could vary widely depending on the location.

On the hypothetical continent, why does the BW climate extend farther inland in the Northern Hemisphere than in the Southern Hemisphere?
The following questions are based on the diagram of the Köppen climate distribution on a hypothetical continent (Figure 23-2). It may also be helpful to compare the hypothetical continent with the map of actual climate distribution color Map T-29 in the back of the Lab Manual and Figure 23-3 showing the influence of the seasonal shifts of the ITCZ and subtropical highs along the west coasts of continents. In answering the questions, consider both the characteristics of a climate and the dominant controls producing that climate.
