"Each day is more or less the same, the morning is clear and bright with a sea breeze; as the Sun climbs high in the sky, heat mounts up, dark clouds form, then rain comes with thunder and lightning. But rain is soon over." Which of the following regions is described in the above passage?
A
Savannah
B
Equatorial
Correct Answer
C
Monsoon
D
Mediterranean
Explanation
The passage describes the **Equatorial climate**, where high daily temperatures and humidity trigger consistent **convectional rainfall** (often called "4 o'clock rain") as rising warm air cools and condenses by the afternoon. While the **Monsoon** region also experiences heavy rain, it is seasonal and driven by periodic wind reversals rather than the uniform, daily solar-driven cycle described here. The core concept being tested is the mechanism of convectional precipitation and the lack of distinct seasons in the equatorial belt.
