Show answer and solution
Answer: (A) Hot dry summers and mild rainy winters
Mediterranean regions, found between 30 and 40 degrees latitude on the western sides of continents, lie under the dry subtropical high in summer and under westerlies in winter, so summers are hot and dry while winters are mild and wet. Citrus fruits and grapes are typical crops. Year-round heavy rain describes equatorial climates.
