Answer 1

B. drier than that of eastern Oklahoma

Answer 2

The correct answer is B. The Oklahoma Panhandle’s climate is drier than that of eastern Oklahoma.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Oklahoma Panhandle is the western end of the state of Oklahoma. This panhandle includes the counties of Cimarron, Texas and Beaver. Located west of the 100th meridian to the 103rd, between the 36.5 and 37th parallel north, it forms the Oklahoman part of the High Plains, a vast semi-arid and sparsely populated region. The Oklahoma Panhandle has only 28,751 inhabitants for 14,728 km2, or 0.77% of the state's population out of 8.28% of the territory.
