Which of the following statements about climate is FALSE?

A.When air is forced to rise it loses its moisture.


B.Inland areas are generally warmer than coastal areas.


C.Inland areas are generally drier than coastal areas.


D.The climate zone around the equator is called the temperate zone.


E.The four seasons are most pronounced in the temperate zone.Which of the following statements about climate is FALSE?
D, is false, there is a Northern Temperate Zone and a Southern Zone, these are on either side of the equator.








Edit - This explains why A is true, air loses moisure when it rises: http://squ1.org/wiki/Rainfall


That explains why C is generally true, much of the moisture has dropped out of the atmosphere on the coast before moving inland.


The ocean acts like a heat sink and generally cools coastal areas, while inland areas heat up quicker in the day, and moisture drops on the coast, so the inland areas are generally warmer than the coast, B is true.


The zone around the equator is called the Torid zone so D is false: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geographica鈥?/a>


Since the temperate zone is not around the equator and it covers areas where there is a marked temprature swing creating four seasons, it's called the temperate zones, so E is correct.


Okay?Which of the following statements about climate is FALSE?
D.The climate zone around the equator is called the temperate zone.


E.The four seasons are most pronounced in the temperate zone.





are false.
B and D are false. Inland areas tend to have wider temperature swings then area by the ocean and the climate zone around the equator is called the torrid zone.
D is false.





the temperate zones are bands in the middle of the north and south hemispheres
E is false. The only seasons in the Equator are Hot and Sticky or Hot and Rainy!
D is false. It's called the torrid zone.
B %26amp; D





That's what I like consensus.
A and B
its all false
