Why is the Dfb (humid continental) climate in a band just north of the band of Dfa climate?
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.
Higher latitude results in colder winters.

The Challenger Deep has previously been measured to have a depth of 10,994 meters. You have been sent to the part of the Pacific Ocean to verify this depth with an echo sounder
Assuming that Depth = 1/2 (1,500 m/sec*echo travel time), approximately how many seconds should it take for the sound wave to leave your ship, strike the bottom of the Challenger Deep, and return if the depth is correct? A) 10.5 seconds B) 14.66 seconds C) 17.39 seconds D) 22.67 seconds
