Why is the average annual temperature in
wet tropical forests higher than in subtropical
deserts?
A. Because wet tropical forests are mostly
closer to the equator than subtropical deserts
B. Because temperatures in wet tropical forests
are consistently high, while those in deserts
often fluctuate between very hot and cold
C. Because high evapotranspiration tends to
cool the subtropical deserts
D. Because the forests are under descending
moist and warm air near the equator
