Question

If Earth had no landmasses, then the idealized zonal precipitation pattern would have _______. A) wet regions at the equator and mid-latitudes B) wet regions at the equator and the poles C) wet regions near 30 degrees north and south of the equator D) dry regions at the equator and poles E) dry regions in the midlatitudes and poles

Answer 1

Answer: A) wet regions at the equator and mid-latitudes

Step-by-step explanation:

In the absence of landmasses, the idealised zonal precipitation pattern would follow the distribution of moisture-laden air and the associated atmospheric circulation patterns, leading to wet conditions at the equator due to the ascending motion of the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) and also at the mid-latitudes due to the convergence of air masses.
