Question

All of the following climate regions are found in Southeast Asia, except __________. A. humid subtropical B. highlands C. tropical wet D. semiarid

Answer 1

Humid subtropical, highlands, and tropical wet are all climate regions that can be found in Southeast Asia, so among the given choices the answer would be D or semiarid, which describes places that are considered semi-dry or only partially arid.

Answer 2

D. Semiarid. Humid subtropical and tropical wet are often associated with Southeast Asia, as there are versions of monsoon seasons that exist, bringing in large amounts of precipitation to the region. The highlands in Southeast Asia, for example, exist in areas of Myanmar. The semiarid descriptor means an area with little precipitation per year, which does not exist in the region due to the significant amount of exposure to precipitation.
