Why are Aw (tropical savanna) climates found in bands north and south of the Af (tropical wet) climates?

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.
