    Correct Answer
    A. Polar
    Explanation
    The given statements describe a climate that is cold all the time, snows a lot, and is dry with little rainfall. These characteristics are typically associated with polar climates, which are found near the Earth's poles. In polar climates, temperatures are consistently low, and precipitation mainly occurs in the form of snow. The lack of rainfall and dry conditions further support the classification of this climate as polar.

    -Hot, rains a lot, located near the Equator. What type of climate do these statements describe?

    • Tropical

    • Temperate

    • Polar

    • Arid

    Correct Answer
    A. Tropical
    Explanation
    The given statements of "hot, rains a lot, located near the Equator" suggest a climate that is characteristic of the tropical climate zone. In this type of climate, temperatures are consistently warm or hot throughout the year, and there is a high amount of precipitation, resulting in frequent rainfall. The location near the Equator indicates that the area receives direct sunlight, contributing to the hot temperatures. Therefore, the correct answer is tropical.

The absence of extreme heat or cold, as well as the moderate amount of rainfall, also suggest a temperate climate. Additionally, the lack of tropical features such as palm trees or dense rainforest further supports the idea of a temperate climate.
