The correct answer is option 2, i.e 1 and 4 only. 

The Mediterranean climatic region

  • The regions are between roughly 30 and 45 degrees north and south of the equator. Hence statement 1 is correct.
  • The basic cause of this type of climate is the shifting of the wind belts.
  • The Mediterranean Sea has the greatest extent of this type of ‘winter rain climate’, and gives rise to the name Mediterranean Climate.
  • The Mediterranean climate is usually characterized by rainy winters and dry, warm to hot summers. Hence the statement 3 is incorrect.
  • The best-developed form of this climatic type is found in central Chile.
  • The weather in the region is very dry, stable, and pleasant. Hence the statement 2 is incorrect.
  • The main controlling factor over the characteristics of the dry summer subtropical climate is the alternating influence of the subtropical high in summer and Westerlies during the winter.
  • The Mediterranean lands receive most of their precipitation in winter when the Westerlies shift equator wards. Hence statement 4 is correct.
  • The local winds of the Mediterranean climates are Sirocco and Mistral.
  • Agriculture in the Mediterranean climates is Orchard farming, Wine production, crop cultivation and Sheep rearing.
